About Me

I work with people who are navigating health challenges to support them in learning how to manage their symptoms, build mind-body connection, and return to doing the things that bring meaning and joy to everyday life.

My work is about helping people who are struggling with their health to feel seen and supported. I'm equally passionate about empowering movement teachers and healthcare professionals to do the same.

Occupational Therapist & Clinical Pilates Instructor

I work with people who want to nurture their sense of everyday wellbeing including people living with conditions such as:

  • Chronic Back Pain

  • Spinal Cord Injuries

  • Hypermobility & Ehlers Danlos Syndromes

  • Postural Orthostatic
    Tachycardia Syndrome

  • Long Covid

  • Chronic Fatigue

  • Autoimmune Disease

  • Fibromyalgia & Other Forms of Chronic Pain

  • Multiple Sclerosis

  • Breast Cancer

  • Arthritis

Living with a chronic condition can affect all aspects of health and everyday life. You deserve access to healthcare that supports your sense of wellbeing.

While medical management is important, it is not the whole picture. Rehabilitation and lifestyle management strategies are supported by research and can help you reclaim your life. You can live well with a chronic condition.
