I treat dogs too 🐶

15/01/2026

Stop scrolling, close your eyes, take 3 slow, deep breaths. How do you feel?

It’s no secret to anyone who’s ever been to me that the diaphragm is probably the muscle in the human body I am the most passionate about.

Whether I’m treating a pelvic, lower back problem or a shoulder injury, the diaphragm almost always has a huge part to play in all cases.

I don’t feel my formal osteopathic degree got me so interested into the diaphragm as much as an evolution from my intensive buddhist meditation days. I noticed the profound effect my improved breathing practice had on my mental and physical health.

I then started to explore the role of the diaphragm with patients with lower back pain, in specific women with pelvic issues. I moved on to all sorts of upper back and postural issues and the effect a dysfunctional diaphragm could have on such patients.

Years later, I hold the strong belief that we all need to breathe more and better, so I decompress diaphragms and give out breathing exercises every single day.

Diaphragm and breathing dysfunctions have an incredible impact on our physical and mental health, both from a musculoskeletal and neurological perspective (think abdominal/chest cavity pressures and also parasympathetic nervous system activation).

If you feel you can’t breathe properly or suffer from general inability to relax, I’d be happy to work with you on this.

Jumping into this week!

🫀 Thank you for the love and apologies for previous post, it wasn’t very mindful of me. CT scan showed no heart issues.

Right.. back on track, let’s end 2025 on strong note!

It’s that time of the year again when we are call to remind ourselves of what truly matters.

Presents are nice but intentions are golden.

And is there a more beautiful intention than wishing for someone else to be well? I think we all know the answer to that one.

Let’s normalised being excited for all the failures we have ahead of us 🤣 💪🏻

No but honestly, some of us are big on trying and that often leads to us experiencing a vast amount of failures, perhaps more than average. I dislike the toxic positivity of “it’s just lessons”, “don’t take it badly” etc. If you’re aiming for a goal with conviction and passion, you will be upset, at least.

Repeatedly failing is unpleasant and can be demoralising. That’s just a truth. But, it strengthens our character and snowballs into bigger and better achievements. Eventually.

So yep, get up, dust yourself and keep going. 💪🏻

We often fool ourselves into believing that we are naturally entitled to wellness, body and mind. We believe that healing simply happens naturally and with time and that staying healthy is just a somewhat magical state that doesn’t need our focused energy.

This is not the case. Staying well, healthy and strong takes wisdom, efforts and consistency.

Some of us are lucky enough to not have to do too much to stay well, some of us need to do a lot.

If you’re not reaping the rewards right now, then maybe you have not been planting the right seeds or you’ve not looked after them properly.

Day one or one day, the choice is yours. Stay unwell or start changing.

Happy Samhain 🎃

TREAT or TREATment? Or both?

There’s not many pics of me doing my thing so it was really nice to receive these ones.

Looking back at my career so far, some things have never changed in my approach. I’m still very hyper focused on the animal I treat and I still speak to them in a (super) high pitch voice.

This little girl is an angel, super loving and loveable soul.

I’ve been treating more dogs lately and it’s made my heart smile.

Maybe love isn’t everything. Maybe it is. 🤍
