My background is nursing having worked as an Emergency Nurse Practitioner in the
Emergency department for many years, formally working as an Advanced Nurse
Practitioner in a GP surgery. I am passionate about helping people become well
and whole, to live life to their full potential. My career took a change of
course when I trained to become a Body Control Pilates teacher, after a number
of years of personal experience in Body Control Pilates, which I started after
advice from a physiotherapist. I have appreciated the benefit of Pilates for my
own health as well as improved performance in the sport I do - climbing,
mountain biking, skiing. Through Pilates and working with those with PoTS and
Long-COVID, I wanted to learn more about breathing, and realised the benefit of
breathing well has on our health and wellbeing. For a long time I have been
aware of the mind-body connection and the influence of stress (current, past and
personality types) have on our body. I am now trained as a Stress Induced
Recovery Practitioner working with those with stress induced symptoms. Movement
and breathing and acknowledging the impact of stress on our body, will help calm
our nervous system. I have a specific interest in those with Postural
Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) and
Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic
fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), Long-COVID and any other chronic health conditions.
