I know what it feels like to wonder if your life will ever feel like yours again.

After becoming unwell while volunteering in Southeast Asia, my health began to crash. Despite seeing numerous doctors and specialists and trying many different treatments, I eventually became almost completely bedbound and was diagnosed with ME/CFS.

My world became very small. I couldn’t work, exercise, socialise or travel in the way I wanted to, and the idea that this might be my life long-term was incredibly difficult to accept. Yet somewhere inside, I held onto the belief that there had to be another way.

A friend introduced me to mind-body work, and it changed everything.

I began to understand my symptoms and the relationship between my nervous system, emotions, stress and physical health in a completely different way. Gradually, my energy returned, my pain reduced and I was able to get back to full work, exercise, travel and the people and experiences I had missed.

That transformation inspired me to become a MindBody Reconnect practitioner.

My approach is warm, compassionate and curious. I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work, but I never assume that your journey will look like mine. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you discover what may be possible for you by connecting back to your truth.

Today I love travelling, exercising, spending time with friends and exploring new places. After spending four years almost bedbound, I never take that freedom for granted.

I know how hard it can be to believe that things can change. I also know what it feels like when they do.
