Why choose Bodywork?
Because bodywork is catered for you by you. Each session is completely and 100% client led. Held within a container that focuses mainly on nervous system work and supported embodiment, using trauma-informed tools such as clean language and body focusing to allow you to go deeper with noticing, becoming curious and more aware of your body’s needs and wants. Together we can then explore, using touch, how to have these needs and wants fully met.
I have a fascination with anatomy and our inner landscapes, and I hope that by the end of our session together you will too. It is linked to the feeling of life underneath every bit of surface of skin that makes us, us. Curiosity allows, under guidance of intuitive feeling and listening through the fingertips, for a deeper connection with, and a better understanding to, the vast network of fibrous tissue located and surrounding each muscle within this complex powerhouse that we call the human body. After witnessing countless positive results, Bodywork has an immense power to break down old habits in the body both physically and mentally that no longer serve us, permitting more freedom and ease in our lives.
I invite you into this safe space at YAMA Studios, whether for some physical relief, some self-indulgence, relaxation or even just a chat! This gift found within these hands will allow you to open up enough to have a cup of tea with your pains: to release, heal and rewire your own mind and matter on the journey to self-betterment. Get in contact with any queries, I’d love to get to know you and for you to get to know yourself a bit better.
Please treat any session as a healing retreat, making sure you are well nourished and hydrated. Got any questions or unsure? For even more information, use the contact tab at the top of the page to send an email. Gift vouchers are available.
Each body that sees me is wonderfully unique. I offer everyone that visits a very detailed and personalised musculoskeletal and structural alignment assessment. Come honour yours and get more self invested! The discussion will be based on the following topics:
– talk through any chronic or acute injuries
– chat about your biomechanical history
– look at your habitual and behavioural tendencies.
– speak about any underlying psychosomatic trauma.
– notice any compensational patterns within the body through a musculoskeletal and structural alignment assessment.
– (re)start a dialogue between the mind and the body.
– learn what is best for your personal development.
A consultation is mandatory prior to any bodywork treatment. If you require a GP approval this must be brought with you and presented during the consultation. Consultation can also be done virtually during out of clinic hours. Please note if you book a treatment prior to ungergoing a consultation, your appointment will not be accepted.
Please read the cancellation policy below upon booking.

Looking for a really therapeutic way to destress?
Here, in these safe and welcoming hands, I use a variety of techniques such as myofascial release, acupressure, integrative body psychotherapy and somatic experiencing to openly explore with gentle curiosity what the body is trying to communicate.
Clients help guide the session by undergoing a brief consultation prior to the treatment to get exactly what they need.
(Please note due to the nature of this treatment I advise leaving enough time to integrate after the session. If you require a full day session, please get in touch directly.)
Scar tissue remediation is at the cutting edge of the skills needed to effectively and holistically work with scars from injuries, birth injuries, any type of stitching including gynaecological surgeries such as colposcopies and hysterectomies, endometriosis, gender reassignment surgeries, C-sections and pelvic pain of all kinds. During this session we will be tapping into the story of the desired scar tissue that requires unwinding, using manual techniques such as massage, muscle testing, myofascial release and castor oil packing. You will leave the session with your own castor oil pack to take home and continue using. A shorter follow up session a week later will ask for consistant use of the pack/ techniques to reveal undeniable results.
Are you a habitual teeth grinder? Get frequent migraines and/ or jaw ache? Do you tend to chew more frequently on one side? This treatment uses Myofascial Release to unlock tension in the jaw, externally and internally, using latex-free gloves. A gentle head massage follows the treatment to further release tension from the neck, face and scalp regions. A top-up session a week later will help to continue the unwinding of habitual patterns.
