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. I developed a severe Addiction to my pain medication: Codeine, that lasted for almost 7 years on and off.

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. How the very Emotions we learnt to deny, may be the culprit for our increased states of suffering and ill-health.

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, experience the dissolving of their own afflictions and daily triggers. Meeting the body from safety, at long last.
