I’m a certified Shiatsu practitioner dedicated to providing holistic health through the powerful, hands-on healing modality of Shiatsu. My journey with Shiatsu began in 2015 in Brussels, Belgium, where I studied under Philippe Vandenaabele, a teacher who sparked my passion for this transformative practice. Since then, I’ve deepened my knowledge and skills, completing my advanced training and obtaining my Shiatsu Diploma in 2022 through the EastWest School of Shiatsu and the Glasgow School of Shiatsu, Scotland. I was also one of the first Shiatsu students in the UK to earn official accreditation from Laser Learning, further strengthening my foundation.

In my practice, I integrate elements of Eden Energy Medicine, having recently completed Level 1 training in this complementary modality. Eden Energy Medicine uses Traditional Chinese Medicine as a core framework, which naturally aligns with Shiatsu’s approach to energy flow and balance in the body.

Together with my colleagues Onintza Garai and Jacqui Penman, I co-founded the Edinburgh Shiatsu Practitioner group, creating a community that shares knowledge and provides personal and business support for Shiatsu practitioners across the Edinburgh area. In addition to offering private Shiatsu sessions, I share treatments at events and festivals, providing accessible, holistic health experiences.

I am also honoured to serve as the Research Director on the Shiatsu Society Board as of September 2024, where I aim to contribute to raising Shiatsu’s profile as a valuable therapy for health and well-being. I look forward to supporting your health journey with Shiatsu!
