I was born in South Africa but have been living in the UK since 2000. With a Master’s degree in Osteopathy and over 25 years of experience in movement, posture, and alignment—including teaching Reformer Pilates—I have dedicated my career to understanding pain, the body, and how we heal.

​

Early in my journey, I focused on physical treatments, but over time, I realised that true, lasting recovery often lies beyond the physical. My own experience with injuries, as well as my extensive study of pain science, led me to adopt a more holistic, mind-body approach.

 

Through neuroplastic pain treatments and the SIRPA (Stress-Induced Pain Recovery Association) Programme, I have seen first-hand how shifting away from purely structural treatments towards an evidence-based psychological approach can help people achieve lasting relief.

​

As a SIRPA-certified practitioner, I specialise in helping people overcome persistent pain and other neuroplastic symptoms, whether they present as back pain, migraines, digestive issues, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, tinnitus, long COVID symptoms, or other stress-related conditions.

 

My work is influenced by leading pain science experts, including Dr John Sarno, Dr Howard Schubiner, and Dr David Hanscom, whose DOC (Direct Your Own Care) Method provides a structured approach to rewiring neural pathways and addressing the mind-body connection in recovery.
