I studied at the Zen School of Shiatsu in London and qualified in 2004.

My background is in performing (I am also an actress) and I studied shiatsu as a parallel career.  Performing is about communication and connection and this has deepened my practice of shiatsu.  I believe that the connection between practitioner and receiver facilitates the body, mind and spirit's ability to self-heal on a deep, intuitive level.

My particular interest is in working with people who suffer from all forms of mental health issues, from stress and anxiety to depression and bi-polar disorder. 

I also enjoy working with pregnant women up to and including labour (and beyond).

Another focus of my practice has been working with women who are HIV+ and I have spent time in Namibia, Southern Africa facilitating shiatsu workshops for carers and health workers and hope to continue this in the future.
