I grew up with a Spinal Condition known as Scoliosis, garnering a lot of Chronic Pain in my early years of life.

In my mid teens I was urged to opt for Spinal Fusion Surgery - that unfortunately - went quite wrong. Many complications of displaced metalwork, and three surgeries later - I was trapped in a very distressed body. In turn developing a very severe Addiction to my pain medication: Codeine.

Pain and suffering, for a very long time, was all that was known.

It wasn’t until I discovered the arena of Somatics, that my life and body started to dramatically lighten.

My Life Force started to return.

Body of Emotions comes from a desire to share an option that is rarely discussed in traditional medical settings. A perspective that looks at the root of Emotional Repression, and how the very Emotions we learnt to deny, may be the culprit for our increased states of suffering.

My intention is to empower those who work with me, the tools to reverse their own Emotional Repression, through the understanding of the Mind-Body Connection, and through this root knowledge, other afflictions naturally fall away. Coming into safe meeting with the body, at long last.
