Somatic Healing
We journey through life in a complex bio-electro-magnetic vehicle that is our body. Discover practical, embodied approaches that support somatic healing, helping you reconnect with your body innate intelligence, restoring balance, resilience and vitality.
Somatic Healing Modalities
Bowen is soft tissue manipulation based on traditional osteopathic principles, with profound effects on both structure and function, initiating the body’s natural healing responses.
Highly efficient for any pain reduction, chronic or acute.
If you seek body work for pain relief from stress, intense or long term pain, accidents, sports injuries, autoimmune disease and associated symptoms, Bowen Therapy (Bowen Technique or simply… Bowen!) helps reduce physical pain and regain optimal function in major body systems.
It is a hands on remedial technique which also helps improve and enhance quality of sleep and reduce stress and anxiety.
Because it can work alongside any medical treatment, and has its roots in anatomy and physiology, is a complementary and not an alternative modality. It is however the most relaxing body work I have ever experienced.
Bowen does not employ constant touch like a massage, which makes it suitable for people who are very sensitive or experience fibromyalgia or trigeminal neuralgia symptoms, where skin feels very tender to touch.
Smart Patch is a leading-edge innovation company with products based on a vibrotactile pattern – VTT (vibrotactile technology), combining the best of technology and wellness science to help you achieve your wellness goals, drug-free, no electricity, no magnets, and without invasive treatments. VTT can reduce stress, enhance athletic performance, increase mobility, stability, balance and stamina. It ultimately brings the brain in homeostasis, improving neurology.
I am one of the proud founder members bringing this technology to the UK from Canada in 2019. These physical devices are instant solutions to stressful or challenging days and first line in preventive healthcare.

It is the thesis of Somatic Inquiry that all experience is encoded in the neuromuscular system. We can use mindful movements to explore how does your body feel and identify states of tension and their underlying emotional content. The body has its own movement patterns, posture, acquired tension and underneath it all deep wisdom gathered from every experience we’ve ever had. The body is wired according to our memories, pleasant or traumatic.
In a Somatic Inquiry session we slow everything down, we play, we observe and evaluate. We might add language where necessary, untangle a story or ask more questions to invite us to deeper awareness while supporting the body.
The solutions might be Bowen Therapy, essential oils, hugs, walks in nature, energy editing, crying, journaling, ceremony or whatever we agree that is conducive to release and re-setting.
It does what it says on the tin, I will help you get a higher feeling of wellbeing and health overall, in a bespoke and structured approach, something that will fit you and your lifestyle perfectly and will incorporate aspects of body-mind-soul healing focusing on what’s most needed at the time! This one can be education in a few sessions, or a long term commitment to achieve a certain goal.
If the weather allows, we can have a walk and talk session rather than sit in a chair and fuel our bodies with good energy. Please bring appropriate clothing and walking boots, and let’s choose a place where it’s convenient for you to walk, according to your ability. I have flat walks around my neighbourhood around Manchester-Bolton Canal, River Irwell and the surrounding forest in Outwood Country Park or Burrs Country Park in Bury. I will not charge you for my travelling time, but if you’d like to pay for my gas mileage/return, I could come closer to you wherever you are within 30miles of my healing room in Radcliffe.
I’m a Somatic Movement Facilitator offering Energy Dance sessions that awaken your body’s natural self-healing and manifestation power. Through intentional, accessible movement, I guide you to reconnect with your body’s wisdom, release stuck energy, and embody the life you desire. No dance experience or prior energy work needed—just a willingness to be present in your body and open to transformation. My sessions are suitable for all ages and abilities, and can be experienced one-to-one or in groups. Book me if you’re ready to allow your body to move with more ease and confidence.
SCD Nutrition Coaching for IBD
and other auto-immune diseases
I’m not a classically trained nutritionist. I do however, have a wide holistic knowledge and have invested countless hours of research in educating myself about nutrition. I have an ITEC diploma with distinction in anatomy, physiology and pathology. I understand body mechanics and how we need to fuel our body to repair and heal.
With this knowledge, I healed myself from Crohn’s Disease when doctors told me I will be on medical aid for the rest of my life and operations are imminent and unavoidable. I was told no amount of nutrition will save me and that drugs and operations are my only change to a good quality of life.
That was not what I experienced when I decided to empower myself with holistic knowledge and follow different principles to my healing than the medical symptom management medical model.
While applying all the Specific Carbohydrate Diet principles in the book “Breaking The Vicious Cycle” by Elaine Gottschall, I went from strength to strength and eventually I repaired my microbiome. I have been symptom free for more than 8 years and there’s no trace of the previous diagnosis. Crohn’s remains just a tricky word to spell and not a life sentence.
Please note this is not a vegan friendly type of nutrition. It has many vegetarian dishes but bone broth and many meat based dishes and live probiotic yoghurt are at the heart of this eating style. If you are vegan, vegetarian or you know that you suffer from mast cells disorders a different approach to healing needs to be considered.
I am not qualified and do not offer medical advice. I do not diagnose, alter medication or advice on any medical issue. Please consult your specialist doctor or GP for medical care.
If you are here, I will take it that you are looking for mentorship and valuable information you can guide yourself with in a holistic sense that offers real health that deals with root causes and not just masks symptoms. I can offer you that holistic support and I will share tips and tricks to avoid pitfalls.
Ultimately you are in control of your own body and to apply due diligence on the advice you receive.
I have seen amazing breakthroughs using this type of nutrition, in re-building the intestinal microbiome and giving the digestive system the support it needs for healing in various auto-immune scenarios.
I’ve also been one of the moderators for the Facebook UK and Ireland page for SCD since 2016.
