WELCOME
About
With a multidisciplinary background and extensive experience as a physical therapist, I offer care that is complementary to conventional healthcare. Driven by a passion for your well-being, I comprehend the multidimensional impact of life on your body and health. I firmly believe in the body's remarkable ability to rejuvenate and heal itself when provided with the right environment (body, soul, and spirit).
​
Formally trained and registered as a physical therapist in South Africa, I bring 15 years of hands-on experience gained from working in South Africa and the United Kingdom (Oxford).
TREATMENTS
INDIVIDUAL
PERSONALISED WELL-BEING
Treatment is personalised to your individual needs. Depending on the therapeutic goals, different techniques will be selected and re-evaluated according to the body's response. Your feedback and progression is important and assist in establishing outcome measures.

POSTNATAL
POSTPARTUM JOURNEY
It is a privilege to treat, support and encourage mothers during a season of extreme change (emotionally and physically).Every postpartum journey is unique. Therefore each session is adapted to the mother’s specific needs. Depending on the case, benefits may include: stress relief and relaxation, relief of pain- or soreness associated with birth, improved breastfeeding ability, promotion of sleeping (for the mother) and return to exercise/sport.
TENSION RELEASE
REDUCE MUSCLE TENSION
Stress can be caused by a buildup of tension within muscles that restricts movement and increases pain. Tension is reduced by focussing on the deeper layers within soft tissues. Stretching and spreading muscle fibres and tissues in order for muscles to relax and loosen. Loosened muscles increases movement, decreases pain and reduces stress. The positive physiological effects that most commonly occur, include increased endorphins and dopamine, decreased cortisol and increased tissue elasticity.
PERFORMANCE
PREPARE AND CONDITION
Adeep tissue massage to prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in optimal condition.

The benefits include increased range of motion, decreased lactic acid build up, decreased injury potential, increased circulation, maximised performance and increased cellular metabolism.
