I look at the body as a connected whole, looking for root causes of pain and dysfunction. I also work with the nervous system to help it release trauma.
I do this with craniosacral therapy, fascial work, visceral manipulation, soft tissue work, and more.

Your heart is far more than just a pump. Scientists have now confirmed that the human heart has its own “mini-brain,” containing over 40,000 specialised neurons capable of processing information, storing memories, and even making decisions independently of the brain.
This little-known nervous system is called the intrinsic cardiac nervous system, and it operates using the same type of neurotransmitters found in the brain. What's even more mind-blowing is that communication between the heart and the brain is mostly one-way, with 80 percent of the signals flowing from the heart to the brain, not the other way around.
This may explain why we often feel strong emotions or intuitions deep in our chest before we can logically explain them. That gut feeling or heartache? It might be your heart’s neural network reacting and informing your brain.
Researchers say this discovery rewrites the narrative of how mind and body work together. The heart is not just influenced by emotion, it helps generate it.
With some animals having fewer neurons than the human heart, this “second brain” is now believed to play a crucial role in emotional regulation, decision-making, and overall mental wellbeing.
Your heart is thinking whether you realise it or not.

I graduated! It was an amazing journey. I've learned a lot...about the body and about myself. I love seeing how I can help others live more comfortable, functional lives.
