I support men and women through different stages of their lives by holding a healing space to restore homeostasis. I have particular interest in women's health from menstruation and fertility to pregnancy and menopause. I give birth preparation sessions for individuals and couples, having lots of resource from having two ecstatic, home, water births in London and Amsterdam. I studied with Suzanne on the Shiatsu for Pregnancy Diploma course in 2007 and prior to that studied extraordinary vessels and infertility. In 2002, I began studying shiatsu after being a professional dancer for many years and had tried many, different kinds of massage therapies to help with injuries. From 2006 to present, I have worked and lived in 15 countries on four different continents. I am currently living in South East Asia in Cambodia. I spend the summers in London, Yorkshire and Amsterdam so please drop me a line to find out where I am, if you are interested in treatments.

At Embody Health I support women on their journey towards wholeness and wellness through the mediums of shiatsu, massage & movement, so that they can experience more joy and vitality in their life. I also run regular baby shiatsu massage classes and labour support workshops for women and their birthing partners.

Séances de shiatsu en cabinet à Nantes dans un quartier calme proche du centre ville. Séances de shiatsu pour accompagner la maternité avant et après l'accouchement. Je vous propose aussi des séances en couple pour fournir aux deux futurs parents une préparation à l'accouchement. durant ces séances sont enseignées et pratiquées des techniques de concentration, de respiration et de relaxation qui pourront ensuite être appliquées pendant le travail. Le futur papa pourra ainsi participer et soutenir activement sa compagne.

I have finished my training with Suzanne in 2004 and have been working with women for 17 years. I offer:

*Shiatsu Pregnancy Massage (with or without oils)
*Baby Massage (one-to-one or max of 4 people)
*Perineal Massage (in prep for labour)
*Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (babies, children and adults)
*Psychosynthesis Counselling (spiritual counselling - I will be graduating at the end of 2018)
*Craniosexual®Therapy (body of work I developed to heal sexual trauma and conditionings)

My approach is transpersonal which means I see you with the issue you bring however I focus in the existing health in you, what is alive in you and perhaps you are unable to connect with at the time. I believe we are much more than we believe ourselves to be.

I can help women experiencing the following:

*Pregnancy issues antenatally and postnatally
*Infertility
*Birth trauma
*Menopausal issues
*Vaginal trauma
*Sexual issues

The extra tools I use during my treatments are based on sound training and are used according to your specific needs. Here are some of the tools I use:

*Imagery
*Visualization
*Deep abdominal massage (based on Maya Abdominal Massage and Chi New Tsang)
*Bodytalk
