I am a Women’s and Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, a Mummy MOT™ practitioner and a qualified yoga teacher.
Most of my work centres on the pelvis: helping women through pregnancy and postnatally, and through perimenopause and menopause.
My approach is holistic. I specialise in movement and fascial mobility, and I consider your breathing in every assessment.
I treat conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, and tummy muscle separation after birth (diastasis recti). I also help with recovery after abdominal surgery or a caesarean, including scar mobility.
During pregnancy, I can treat common problems such as pelvic girdle pain, symphysis pubis dysfunction, lower back pain and wrist pain (De Quervain’s).
If you’ve had a baby, whether recently or years ago, the Mummy MOT™ is a thorough check of how your body has recovered. It shows us what’s working well and what needs a bit more help.
For women heading into menopause, I focus on building strength, protecting bone health and easing shoulder, hip and foot pain, so you can keep moving well and feeling like yourself.
I treat general aches and pains too, like neck and shoulder problems, so you don’t need a “women’s health” issue to come and see me.
I don’t just treat the sore spot. I’ll also look at how you move, breathe, sleep and manage day to day. Treatment is usually a combination of manual therapy, exercise, Pilates, acupuncture, visceral massage and myofascial release, depending on what you need.
Above all, I want you to leave feeling properly listened to. You should understand what’s going on with your body and feel confident about what to do next.
