Welcome
How do I work?
Thanks for visiting Embodied Health. I specialise in health and wellness therapies and yoga. I tend to work with clients over time in a reflective and compassionate framework. This is an individual approach calling on a variety of modalities and my experience as a practitioner and teacher.
My approach is particularly suited to people living with chronic stress experienced mentally and/or physically; autoimmune issues; fatigue syndromes, and cancer. Many clients and students say that they feel calmer and centred with improved mental clarity.
If we have not met, it may be helpful to book at least 75 minutes to allow for a full consultation:
- Book first consultation and appointment
- 75 minutes @ £70
Therapies
- Thai Massage & Bodywork – clothed massage received on the couch or the futon**; excellent for releasing tension due to repetitive movement, stress and postural imbalance, and promotes mobility
(** futon massages are not available while I recover from a small and very irritating injury) - Purely Reflexology – working through pressure points in the feet and hands, sometimes ears, to regulate the nervous system and encourage balance
- Purely Reiki – a gentle, meditative relaxation and healing therapy
- Integrated Therapeutic Approach is a longer appointment to include several couch-based therapies
Price: from £60
Yoga
I teach a traditional form of yoga which includes postures, breathing and meditative practices. Yoga promotes awareness and a mindful attitude to understand what is working, what needs tweaking and what needs to change. It also informs bodywork practices.
Group yoga classes are online. We are a yoga saṅga or community who come together to practice yoga and support each other; a saṅga emphasizes the importance of connection and shared experiences. This class is attended by real people. Although it is online, we can talk and connect and practice together. If you would like to try a class before signing up for a term, please get in touch.

Important Changes to My Cancellation Policy
This is perhaps one of the most boring messages to send out however I have been reviewing my working practises to allow more consistency and stability. I hope this message brings transparency and clarification to my revised cancellation policy. I am now asking for…
