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 over 20 years offering Shiatsu, Shiatsu for pregnancy, Baby massage, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and more recently, Psychotherapeutic Counselling. I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor and bodyworker specialising in working with people suffering with known or unknown trauma (very common) issues as developmental trauma (widely common), complex trauma, transgenerational trauma, trauma caused by physical and/or sexual abuse. Experiencing trauma can be highly detrimental to one's daily life and some of the symptoms are anxiety, self-loathing, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD and OCD to name a few dis-eases. My work has a holistic and transpersonal touch to therapy, which sees problems or issues as an opportunity for self knowledge and growth.

I offer:

*Shiatsu (Therapeutic Bodywork)
*Biodynamic Cranioacral Therapy
*Psychotherapeutic Counselling (Psychosynthesis)

Shiatsu for Pregnancy and Baby Massage is not featured on my website however a session can be organised if it is requested.
I speak fluently Portuguese and Spanish.
