I qualified as a Body Psychotherapist at the Entelia Institute in 2018. 

 

My main training was with Silke Ziehl, a wonderful teacher, to whom i am very grateful for her kindness, deep, grounded presence and wisdom.  The 3 year training was in Process orientated Deep Bodywork, a psychotherapeutic modality that combines Reichian bodywork with Relational Therapy.  It led to a specialisation in Jack Painter's Postural Integration and included Psychodynamic theory, Gestalt work, dance and movement, art, bodywork and body reading with aspects of Chinese 5 elements theory and Shamanism.  

​

I continued my study with 2 further training years.  

​

• One year training in Embodied-Relational therapy with Nick Totton

• One year training in Embodied psychopathology, at Integrative Mind-Body Therapy Training (IMT), with Dr Asaf Rolef Ben-Shahar.

I have a Post Graduate Certificate in Integrative Counselling from the University of South Wales.  

I am also trained in Pulsing, a transformational bodywork and have a Diploma in Acupressure massage from the European Shiatsu School. 

​

I have an interest in spirituality, shamanism, Buddhism, tantra and meditation.  I love being with others on silent retreats in nature and I also like long walks, singing in groups and conscious dance.

​

I have worked as a nurse since 2010. 

​
