Integrated Myofascial Release Therapy. I’m an intuitive therapist with a love for balancing the mind, body + soul.

My practice is informed by contemporary, scientific bodywork training as well as mindfulness + emotional wisdom.

Here’s a fun fact about me:

I could probably count on two hands the amount of days I have my hair down a year, it’s normally in winter when I find the rare hat that I don’t look like a t**t in.

Todays a day 🥳 🤘🏼

I’ve been a cave women in a past life with very long matted hair, and I think I have a claustrophobic neck 🧌😂 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh Albert…

I’ve always struggled a bit with imagination, my dreams tend to be a bit drab and if you asked me to draw a monkey 🐵 from my mind I would struggle..

However I realise, imagination is a mental practice that takes practice …

(Also I’ve realised imagination doesn’t have to be in HD, and subtitles are welcome 😅)

Nowadays there is a bunch of scientific evidence to support the idea that imagination can have a significant impact on various aspects of our lives.

Research in psychology and neuroscience has shown that imagination can influence our perception, memory, problem-solving abilities, and physical performance.

That’s huge!

More and more the language surrounding pain is changing, chronic pain is more often than not due to something other than damage in the tissues, hence why x rays / MRI scans etc often come up clear…

Pain can be a perceived phenomena..

So if imagination can influence our perception can we practice imagination as much as we practice a yoga asana or for example juggling…

Can you imagine being pain free and moving freely? Probably not, it’s likely seriously hard and imagining anything but the very real pain experience is likely to feel impossible but can you practice imagining being pain free? Again and again because practicing something is visiting it often even when we really don’t want to.

Be like a sponge 🧽

I’ve had some amazing and inspiring mentors and people who have shared their wisdom and knowledge with me.

Here is me and Matt. He was my first boss man, one of two beautiful men who had just began a new Chiropractic clinic in Bristol, more than ten years later they have built two thriving clinics, covering Clifton and Southville.

I found the job description on gumtree, got the interview because on my CV it said I liked goats cheese. I remember being so nervous but I got the job, my first ever professional massage therapist job 👐🏼

It was the deepest dive into the world of bodywork, into how to successfully build and run a clinic.

I learnt so much from this man, I was challenged, I was nurtured, I worked hard, did things so far out my comfort zone and consequently I grew, from a teeny little tiny seed into small tree 🌱

Eternally grateful for you l

It’s kinda mad that most of the human body is water.

It’s important to move in ways and get bodywork, like MFR that helps to wring out the ‘stagnant’ water in our tissues so we can uptake and let in fresh, new water.

Imagine wringing out a cloth, we compress, give tension and stretch the cloth to get all that old water out and then it’s ready to bring in the new water.

Moving, stretching, exercising, bringing up your core temperature, drinking good water all help this process.

Remember though you are a multidimensional being therefore move, wiggle, squeeze in all directions and find places maybe you’ve never wrung out before.

Container? Yoga Mat? Explore that space off the mat.

The gym? Bicep curl? Play with the angle in the concentric and eccentric contractions.

Puppy energy 🐾🐾🐾 a reminder of the zest of life and of getting back up when you take a leap and miss the destination, like Gigi learning to jump higher and higher and failing and then trying again and again and again and then finally making it up to Kika’s hiding place on our bed 😂

We learn from falling, from falling, from mistakes, from getting back up and going again 💪🏼

Always good to be back in the classroom. Looking forward to Fascia in Sport over the next two days with In-Touch Education = Myofascial Release UK

Body’s are miraculous, you are unique and that gives you great potential to have your very own positive story surrounding a diagnosis, a persistent pain and your health.

We are our stories.

And our body is listening to our stories.

We can be easily influenced by other peoples stories about us.

I often get clients that have been told a story that I think

DAMN! If only you’d been told a different story..

“Your cervical spine is that of an 80 year old” said the chiropractor to the 30 year old

“Your healing journey will mean you experience illness as the stuff moves through” said the energy healer to the person dealing with their trauma

“You’re pain isn’t real and there is nothing we can do” said the doctor to the person experiencing chronic pain

“With this type of sprain, you’re ankle will forever be unstable” said the physio to the skater

🙄 cheers mate!

Those are all BIG stories to be told.

And they are ambiguous and untrue.

Do they hinder or help?

Let’s unravel those stories, see the flip side to the coin, break those glass ceilings, educate ourselves, change the story we’ve been told and see what happens…

Going to try and remember to share my reviews on here 😎

I love being referred husbands and wives and partners and kids ☺️ it’s lovely on many levels, over a course of time you get to know one another and when you get another family member it’s kinda cool, it’s like a blurryish puzzle piece has become HD

The ah ha moment… When you’re asking for archangel Michael’s white golden light of protection and you’re calling in bravery and you realise you are in a magnificent church built for Saint Michael in the 12th century on St Michaels Hill and Saint Michael is right there in the stain glass watching over you ✨

Your team of angels are everywhere, all the time, you just don’t always see them 💗 they are always there and they are listening

for me one of the most sacred places in Bristol, and what a space for .breath and to host a magical ceremony of breathwork and sound journey 🍁

Welcome Autumn Equinox - there’s something about the levelling out of day and night, the fresh, crisp air that grounds me and charges my soul 🌀

I’m really looking forward to being back in touch next week and sharing my passion for the whole body and the fascia through Myofascial Release Therapy 👐🏼

For me, the fascia weaves the connection of the body and the mind and the spirit.

I often want to high five the maker that made us have fascia!

Our very own liquid CRYSTALLINE matrix, a singular connective tissue, a conductor, a sensory organ, a shapeshifter and so so much more ✨

It’s MEGA and plays such a huge role in your life.

I hope that by the time my kids are learning biology they’ll have a chapter in their textbook dedicated to the fascia, next to all the other parts that I learnt about at school because I think if we are taught at a young age about our connectedness then we’d have a huge head start in understanding ourselves.

was pretty OM!

“om" is a sacred sound and is believed to represent the essence of the ultimate reality, consciousness, and the universe.

The sound of "om" is said to encompass all sounds and vibrations in existence and is considered a powerful and transformative sound.

Om shanti om 💗
