I identify the underlying root cause of your pain and together we enable you to move, feel and live better - not just for now but for the longer term too. 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.
