About me

I am freshly qualified as a Practitioner from Wild Light Shiatsu School (2025). My studies had a major focus on the emotions, how they are held in the body and how, with sensitive touch and understanding, old patterns can be released. 

Receiving shiatsu is nourishing and supportive for a whole range of conditions. It helps the individual move towards awakening mental and physical health and wholeness, and restores the body’s vitality. 

I am based in South Devon, offering treatments in Buckfastleigh, Ashburton and Totnes. I also offer shiatsu on wellbeing retreats, as well as supporting a local charity offering shiatsu to women with chronic health conditions. 

I am particularly interested in complex mental and emotional issues, supporting people though grief, fear, trauma, depression and emotional distress. In addition, I treat many conditions to maintain your general wellbeing, including supporting everyday vitality; 

  • Insomnia
  • Back pain
  • Arthritis
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Anxiety
  • Asthma
  • Digestive issues
  • Women’s cyclical issues. 
  • Pregnancy and the post-natal period
  • Menopause

I am inspired by the healing that can happen in the space between the practitioner and client. Through touch and the depth of connection in this form of bodywork, there is an insight which is revealed beyond the scope of what we can express verbally.  Something unique of each individual is revealed within the safety of the practitioner / client relationship. 

I would add, you don’t need an ailment or a condition to benefit greatly from what shiatsu has to offer. Shiatsu’s intentional touch is restorative, energy giving and can support your creativity and self worth.
