For me, osteopathy is about more than treating pain. It’s about understanding the person in front of me and creating care that fits their body, their life and what they need at that particular stage.

I have a special passion for women’s health, pregnancy, postpartum care and infants, and feel incredibly privileged to support women through such significant transitions in their lives.

During pregnancy, I love helping women navigate the physical changes that come with growing a baby – from pelvic girdle and pubic symphysis pain to lower back pain, tension and fatigue. Alongside hands on treatment, I place a strong emphasis on education, movement and practical advice, helping women feel more confident and connected to their changing bodies.

I’m equally passionate about postpartum care. Pregnancy and birth can ask a huge amount of the body, and I enjoy helping women recover, rebuild strength and feel comfortable in their bodies again, while acknowledging the very real physical demands of caring for a newborn.

I also have a deep passion for infant osteopathy, providing gentle care for little ones while supporting parents through those early months with practical advice and reassurance.

My other area of special interest is stress and nervous system health. I spent two years researching stress in women and the role osteopathy may play in supporting the body through chronic stress for my undergraduate thesis. This has continued to influence my clinical approach, particularly my interest in the relationship between stress, tension, pain, recovery and overall wellbeing.

Ultimately, I want my patients to feel listened to, understood and empowered – whether I’m supporting you through pregnancy, recovery after birth, the early stages of motherhood, or caring for your little one.

When I’m not in the clinic, I’m happiest outside, exploring the trails and adventuring with my dogs, Bodhi and Mia!

I’m available for appointments at Halswell Osteopathy from Monday to Friday.
