Not your traditional ‘splits’ or ‘workouts’ (because our bodies deserves a wealthier experience).
Instead, expect something that is holistic, with movements that challenge your body to stimulate the many systems that help us live a meaningful lifestyle.
Gait patterns, proprioception, postural alignment, somatic experiences, breathwork, of the many things you can experience from session to session.
You will feel an increase in sensory awareness from the very first session - feeling stronger and more in tune with your body right away.

In early 2027 I will be extending my offering of hands on release, to using a massage table.
A therapy that is lead solely with touch to help release the build up of tension, and to help with tightened/shortened parts of the body - perhaps through emotional overwhelm - in order to reintegrate you back into your body, towards a supple and confident you.
Feel free to ask for more information.

I am most useful to people in chronic pain, long term injuries, people that are new to exercising, and those with movement disorders like Parkinson’s.
Either way, I think anyone that hasn’t been touched physically with professional care may benefit from just that - human touch and somatic guidance - to sense and explore those sensations.
And finally, it helps to have an open mind that is willing to accept help.

I operate from my studio - a converted room in my home - dedicated to my practice based in Highbury and Islington, a short walk from H&I station.
There is a lift (or stairs if you prefer them), a selection of teas, and privacy if you need it (toilet/changing space etc).

Wherever you are on your journey with Parkinsons, I am open to hearing your story and help you sustain your movement patterns for as long as possible.
As we both know, your energy, mood, gait, can swing rapidly day to day, and often dependent on medication timings. As your guide - I can adapt to meet you where you’re at to offer your body physical-sustenance
About me
I am fascinated by sustainability, societal equality, colourful plants, and the movement of all living beings. Otherwise, I practice being a present parent and partner.
In the rare free time that a toddler offers, sometimes I read books when I am not playing, or coating my fingers in turmeric as I cook South East Asian food, volunteering locally in Islington, caring for my army of houseplants, and most recently, standing in front of youtube-music learning to dance.
Most of what I do is rooted in healing, connecting, and strengthening the body’s balance - to serve a greater, collective purpose.
