Hello and welcome to my portal!

I'm really pleased to welcome you to my portal. As you may know, this is a passion project, and has been in the works for rather a long time. I am a self-proclaimed perfectionist, and I'm currently working on the premise of "done is better than perfect" (and in doing so, I'm stepping firmly out of my comfort zone and into the unknown!)

Over the next few months there will be many updates and additions - this is a glorious work in progress, so please check back from time to time.

I'll be starting in Autumn/Winter 2022 with a Lymphatics and Vagus mini-course, which will precede a more formal and substantial offering in Spring 2023. Also in the works are workshops in subjects such as Restorative Exercise, Perimenopause and Gut Health, so keep your eyes peeled!

As Edison said, "“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

The offerings on this platform are intended to help fulfill that prediction, and as a UK registered Chiropractor who has trained extensively in a range of healing modalities, my aim is to wholistically integrate my knowledge and skills sets in order to provide better information and learning opportunities to help YOU gain self-knowledge, empowerment, and skills to take better care and to help you restore your health naturally - never before in the history of humanity has there been a better, or more poignant time to do so. Your health is in your hands, and your responsibility - are you joining me on the journey?

Alignment Props and Suitable Substitutions

Props, such as yoga blocks and half-domes, are often used in the Restorative Exercise Correctives. For various reasons (eg travelling/living a clutter-free or minimalist lifestyle) not everyone has "the correct" props to hand.

Whilst having fancy kit is all very well, it is not completely essential - there are lots of wonderful options available that can assist you in your journey to better movement.

Here are some handy substitutions that you can use in order to keep moving - a "no excuses" mentality is key to your whole-body alignment refinement!

If you don't have a YOGA BLOCK, then a couple of books can make a suitable substitute - ideally about 10cm depth. Some people find that books on their own are a little firm, so some padding might be a good idea

Instead of a HALF DOME, a rolled up towel (rolled up quite firmly) is an excellent substitution - you can experiment with heights to suit, especially if your feet are quite deconditioned and stiff - the half dome is 10 cm in height

If you don't have a set of MASSAGE BALLS (in the bag), then a couple of tennis balls stuffed into a sock (preferably clean!!) make a great alternative option

A REFLEXOLOGY MAT really isn't a necessity - it's nice to have in order to explore different textures and stimuli, but similar can be achieved with a few carefully placed river rocks. (Different textures in general are ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS for stimulation of sensory nerves and mobility of joints and muscles.)
