Live a life more in harmony with your body
My private practice was established 20 years ago and is conveniently located 3 miles from central Oxford with free parking available for 2 hours. The clinic is situated in the small forest garden behind our house. As well as working from my clinic, I am able to offer home and workplace visits in the OX4 region and occasionally elsewhere by negotiation.
I am an experienced physiotherapist and unique in that I have integrated the healing arts into mainstream, evidence-based physiotherapy. I feel this is a more balanced approach, recognising the value of intuition as well as knowledge.
I treat a wide range of physical complaints including those that have an emotional or spiritual cause. I also have a mindfulness-based approach to my work which is particularly helpful for treating chronic pain and chronic ill health. When we are fully present in the body we can experience our fundamental wholeness, our sense of wonder and aliveness. Our suffering can begin to melt in the glow of a kind and accepting awareness.
My intention is to use my skills to relieve pain, suffering and dysfunction and to explore the experience of the inner body as well as the outer body. I aim to keep sessions affordable, to provide an excellent service and make my clinic as environmentally friendly as possible.

Due to the ongoing concerns about the coronavirus and its variants I am still taking extra care with hygiene and will cancel your appointment if I have any signs of fever, cough or other flu like symptoms. If I have a cold, I will still let you know and we can discuss whether you wish to come or not.
For the safety of my patients I will check myself for Covid with the lateral flow test when needed.
As I am a manual therapist I can’t stay 1 or 2 metres away from you unless you choose to have an individual mindfulness session or relaxation session with me. This can be effective for pain relief and anxiety.
Please could you cancel your appointment (with as much notice as you can) if you have been close to someone who has flu like symptoms.
I am not using a mask or PPE now but I am happy to if that is your preference. I have alcohol gel for hand washing before and after treatment for us both. I leave 10 minutes between patients to aerate the room and clean it.
Please could you be sure to use your toilet at home before coming. If urgent you may, of course, use the one in the house and all will be cleaned after. Please bring your own water.
