I believe our health and well-being to be our most valuable asset. In practice I love treating people of all ages, newborn to the aged, and relish working with a variety of conditions. As a mother of two children and a background in education, I strive to provide a child friendly space and be as adaptable as possible with the treatment process. I use the

treatment method of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field (OCF) because I believe it is not only effective, but also gentle and non-invasive and suitable for all. I am committed to learning, participating in ongoing professional development and I am continuing to grow a supportive network of multi-disciplinary practitioners. My goals for treatment can be varied and may range from pain relief through to being adjunct therapy for chronic conditions. Osteopathy is a holistic therapy so where appropriate, I may prescribe exercises and lifestyle recommendations. I am ACC registered and can determine your eligibility. My passion for osteopathy has been grounded in my own treatment experiences and those of my family. My aim is to improve the quality of life of people, promoting natural healing, where the body is encouraged to stimulate and restore itself. My approach is to facilitate balance and harmony in all aspects of our lives. As for myself, I love art, literature and travel. I replenish myself with yoga, craft and cooking. I find sanctuary in my garden. The human body is inspirational in its ability to heal.

Bhramari breath

The humming bee breath uses gentle humming and vibration to calm the nervous system, helping to reduce stress, agitation, and anxiety.
To practise, sit upright in a comfortable position. Gently close your ears with your thumbs by pressing lightly on the tragus (the small cartilage at the front of the ear). Rest your fingers softly over your closed eyes to minimise external stimulation.
Take a slow inhale through the nose. Then, with the mouth closed, exhale while creating a soft humming sound like a bee. Inhale again and repeat the practice for 3–4 rounds.

Spending time in nature during this season also reminds us of the wonder of the human body and our deep connection to the natural world.

Ladder breath to expand the lungs

Breathing ladders progressively increase the duration of each inhalation and exhalation. This technique steps up the breath (5-6-7-8) and creates a smooth and continuous flow of the breath.

Physical benefits

Engages muscles around the ribcage
Improves oxygen and CO2 exchange
Expands lung capacity

Mental benefits

Increasing the length of the inhalations and exhalations gives the mind a sense of spaciousness
Helps silence over-thinking
Encourages calm and focus
Creates a sense of expansion and growth, physically and psychologically

The practice

Make yourself comfortable, either sitting or lying.

Inhale through the nose for the count of 4, exhale for 4
Inhale for 5, exhale for 5
Inhale for 6, exhale for 6
Inhale for 7, exhale for 7
Inhale for 8, exhale for 8

Release the breath and rest in stillness.

The 4-5-6-7 sequence is a starting place. Once you practice this technique regularly you will be able to increase your holds and grow expand your lungs.
