The majority of my clinic is held online. However, I do a limited number of appointments at people own homes local to Lymington (Hampshire, UK). Please note that promotional rates do not apply and there will be an additional charge for home visits.
The majority of my clinic is held remotely. I recognise that my specialism is rare, and this is the best way to reach the people who will benefit from working with me. I have years of experience working remotely, and have developed sounds techniques for helping people achieve good form. This includes teaching people who to use taping themselves, or using postures/movement to achieve the same goals as soft tissue work.
Please note – I can only teach online to students who are physically present in the UK at the time of their treatment due to legal and insurance restrictions.
Unfortunately, I can only teach client who are physically present in the UK at the time of their treatment. Because local laws apply to the client, my registration and insurance are not valid if you are outside of the UK.
This also means I cannot provide treatment if you are on holiday outside the UK at the time of treatment.

I teach one-to-one lessons.
If you have a friend who you would like to do your lessons with, I provide duo lessons.
For groups of friends who would like a group class, I can discuss this on an individual basis.
Lessons are normally 45 minutes – however, if you need something different, we can arrange that.
People normally have lessons once a week and do personal practise between lessons a couple of times. Some people have lessons fortnightly and will do three-four sets of personal practise in between.
It depends on your preferences. Early on, weekly lessons are generally best to get you set up. People who struggle with motivation/ executive function/ memory often find weekly lessons helpful to hold them accountable and check they are doing things correctly.
People who are motivated and confident may be happy with fortnightly lessons during which we ‘top up’ their personal practise and develop the plan for progress over the next two weeks.

You don’t need any equipment at all to get started – its amazing what you can achieve with things from around the house!
Once you are happy you’d like to continue, we select equipment based on your preferences. Over time, most people will end up purchasing:
Comfort and confidence is absolutely key. Leggings and a t.shirt/vest are ideal – it means I can see what your body is doing. This is more difficult if you wear loose/baggy clothing, but if that is what you are most comfortable in, we can work around it.
You will need a computer with a video camera and microphone (normally these are built in to tablets and laptops now).
I use Teams for my online meetings and will email you a link to use before the first session.
For people who are not confident using this technology or who experience problems, I am happy to get on the phone to provide basic tech support. There are sometimes teething problems in the first session or two, but it does get easier with practise!

Chronic pain and fatigue conditions frequently present alongside neurodivergence, which adds its own complex challenge to developing healthy habits. I have experience working with people with autism and ADHD.
I believe in helping every individual figure out the strategy which works best for them. Identifying barriers such as executive dysfunction or sensory difficulties and exploring the management strategies is an intrinsic part of my lessons.
I welcome your stimming and emotional regulation techniques in lessons. I am keen to support unmasking and creation of a safe environment for you to explore movement in a way which feels natural and comfortable.
There is a lot of snake oil, false promises and exploitation out there when it comes to cures for chronic pain, which I have no intention to peddle. It is unlikely that exercise will cure a chronic pain condition.
However – people with chronic pain conditions often report that they feel better after several months of regular lessons. Their quality of life has improved because they are more flexible, more stable, stronger and confident in movement. Everyday tasks become easier which reduces the overall burden on them. As people get stronger they may find that their pain is less frequent, less intense or flare-ups resolve quicker.
Maintaining a good level of baseline fitness also reduces the impact of further deconditioning, reduces the chance of injury and increases overall life expectancy. I believe that people with pain and fatigue should have support in accessing the vast benefits of exercise.
It can be scary and unfamiliar to think about ‘exercise’ when you are having a difficult day. However, some of my most valuable work is done with patients who are in flare-up.
The usual response is to curl up in a ball on the sofa and avoid movement at all costs. However, if approached right, movement can be the best medicine. Staying within your energy envelope and respecting the body’s signals is a useful lesson. We might end up doing a session which looks completely different from normal to help you find movements which feel safe, therapeutic and leave you feeling better than when you started.
This process of education is invaluable for people who experience regular flare-ups because rather than not moving and deconditioning, people are able to figure out which movements they CAN do safely and with confidence. This way they keep their range of movement and strength and can return to their previous level of fitness faster after a flare-up.
