Movement Therapy

I offer individual movement therapy (pilates, somatics, therapeutic yoga etc) for people interested in using this to help them form a better relationship with their body.

Some of the things that people seek this help for are:

• Support in recovery from an eating disorder or disordered eating

• Being supported to connect with their body again after trauma, pain, illness

• Coming back to sport or exercise after an eating disorder or RED-S

• Managing anxiety, overwhelm

• Learning to trust their body again

• Insomnia

Movement is more than physical. Used therapeutically and with awareness it can support us in ways that 'talking therapy' may not. It can help address unconscious behaviour or response patterns that are keeping us stuck and offer alternatives which are then embodied in movement. It can offer a different approach to feelings about the body and self and how we relate to others.

By working WITH the body we can gradually loosen the hold of chronic patterns and coping strategies that were once useful but no longer serve us. Movement can help us to manage emotions, integrate healthier coping strategies, understand our body signals and help clear overwhelm and compulsive thoughts. 

We approached these practices mindfully and with appropriate insight into past triggers & challenges faced so far in recovery. Learning to move in tune with your body, as opposed to against its needs, can be a significantly important step towards full complete recovery​.

I am able to work with a full range of issues, including trauma and diagnosed eating disorders (bulimia, binge eating, anorexia and other restrictive or purge disorders).
