Welcome

If you're here, you might be looking for a different way forward - something gentle, yet genuinely effective, that helps your mind and body find their way back into balance.

I'm a Masters-qualified Registered Nurse, with extensive experience in mental health and addiction, Havening Practitioner, and Reiki Master.

I've come to understand that difficult experiences don't just stay in our thoughts - they can settle into the body, quietly shaping how we feel and react long after the moment has passed.  What draws me to Havening is how safe and gentle it is, while still creating real, meaningful change.  It's a simple, touch-based technique that helps regulate the nervous system - easing the impact of stress, anxiety, and difficult experiences that can become stored in the body over time.  By working with the mind-body connection, Havening supports your own natural capactiy to heal.  Clients often develop a deeper understanding of themselves through this process - and find they show up differently in the world, feeling more like themselves again, sometimes in a way they haven't for a long time.

I believe in care that is honest, compassionate, and led by you - every session is a non-judgemental space where you are respected, supported, and never rushed.

I currently offer all sessions online, which means you can access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space, wherever you are.  If this feels like it might be a good fit, I'd love to connect.
