How I work

The Biodynamic way of working allows me to personalise a massage for you according to what you and your body need. The personalised massage usually involves one of a range of techniques or a combination from a range of nine techniques designed to invigorate, redistribute or calm. It is possible that different parts of your body require different techniques. It is also possible that your body will need something different from session to session.

You can be fully or partially dressed – whatever is most comfortable for you. We do not use any oil in Biodynamic massage and contact is either directly onto skin or through clothes.

I will also be using a stethoscope attached to a small speaker to listen to your tummy rumblings. In Biodynamic language this is called ‘psycho-peristalsis’. I would describe it as your ‘gut reactions’ to the massage as it progresses. It is an effective form of feedback and it helps me gauge and tailor my work as your session progresses. Some people – like me – love to listen to peristaltic sounds! The sounds often remind me of nature.

The level of contact can range from very light to deep and could differ throughout the massage, and also from session to session. Even if the massage is very light touch, do not be deceived – the impact is often registered by your body and felt for a number of days afterwards.

In case you are wondering what sounds come out of the stethoscope this is a short recording:

Why London?

I have always wanted to work in London. Light Centre, Monument is very accessible for many parts of London. It is an organised place and the centre has a café, yoga studios and showering facilities. I am delighted to house my practice at the Light Centre!

Why East Sussex?

We moved to this part of the country in 2021. A key reason for being here is a desire to create and grow a community-based practice that serves people living in local communities. I am motivated by the opportunity to work with people not as random one-off clients but people with whom I can develop a longer-term relationship with so that at different points in their life’s journey people know they can be supported and they have access to mindfully delivered self-care, rest, recovery and revitalisation. Hamblys in Wadhust where I am launching my local practice can be accessed by people from Kent, East Sussex, Mayfield, Tunbridge Wells, Flimwell, Wadhurst, Ticehurst, Hurst Green, and Heathfield.
