As an HCPC registered physiotherapist I use a variety of techniques to assess and treat different conditions. I have experience both in hospitals and in the community with musculoskeletal as well as respiratory and neurological conditions. I currently work across Oncology and Surgical specialties within NHS Lothian where I support people to regain their fitness and function throughout all stages of life.

​

I strive to continuously develop as a physiotherapist, drawing on techniques from other disciplines in order to provide a holistic approach that acknowledges the wider systems of the mind and the body. 

• I have completed a MSc in War & Psychiatry at King's College London, which drew my awareness to the variety of ways in which emotional and physical trauma settle in the body.

• I am qualified in Holistic, Sports and Pregnancy Massage as well as Hypopressives and have experience tailoring my treatments to the individual needs of my clients.

• I am an accredited ScarWork™ therapist, with a specialism in Abdominal and Pelvic Scars to help relieve tightness and pain in the body. I believe movement (of any kind) is crucial in life as it allows us to connect with ourselves, others and the world around us.

 

I aim to: 

• provide a thorough and unhurried verbal and physical assessment

• establish what you want and need from our time together

• provide effective treatments which may be a mixture of "hands on" techniques as well as advice, explanation, movement, stretching and exercise 

​

I strive to ensure that my practice is always led by consent and is trans, queer and sex worker inclusive. I work in a trauma informed manner, you are therefore welcome to share your experiences but this is in no way a requirement. Come as you are.
