With all of my therapy approaches, the goal is to supply your central nervous system with new information that facilitates change. Deepen your connection with your body and your Self at your own pace. Safety and Grounding is foundational to all options and Somatic Awareness is the goal.
It is important to first seek guidance from your GP for chronic and/or complex issues if your issue has not been diagnosed or investigated.

Scar Tissue Therapy
Light and gentle techniques to re integrate scar tissue into the three dimensional fascial web. Using Sharon Wheeler’s ScarWork techniques and Myofascial Release
Scarwork therapy addresses the underlying layers of the scar, stimulating the fascia and any adhesions. Treatment helps to mobilise and soften thicker tissue in scars from surgeries or accidents. Usually the scar will feel softer, smoother and looser after treatment. .
Usually clients notice changes incrementally each session. Your body is constantly renewing cells so even old scar tissue will respond to Scarwork Therapy.
Although I specialise in helping with recovery post breast cancer surgery, I am happy to help with any scar that may be causing you issues.
Myofascial Release
Fascia Informed therapeutic touch can have powerful effects, it can help build and restore body (somatic) awareness resulting in a better regulated nervous system.
Myofascial release techniques address the entirety of the fascial system by gently engaging with restrictions in such a way that your body does not have to protect itself. We then “nudge into” or “lengthen at” the barrier of resistance surrounding a restriction in the fascial “web.” Over time, as we maintain a steady, aware pressure, the restriction will begin to melt, rehydrate, and become mobile again. This is very different from the typical bodywork approach and experience of rubbing, stretching, and pinning. We are able to reach deeply into your body through the fascial web.
