My approach: EMPOWERING SELF and HEALING SPACE WITHIN
+25 years of experience of working with families, pilots, surgeons and astronauts.

WHAT MY YOUNGER AND OLDER CLIENTS ABLE TO RESOLVE?
* Physical aches and pains or movement restrictions -> free from pain and learn how to reduce and manage discomfort, e.g. runners, dentist, musicians and office workers. 
* Emotional heartache or looking and navigating your true path – > learn to be content with the past, happy in the present, and hopeful about the future.
* Deeper spiritual understanding of who we are and why we are here from those who are 0 to over 100 years old

WHAT THERAPIES DO I OFFER?
A well-rounded personalised approach to finding your way to a balanced life faced with modern pressures; defining your path to a fulfilled spiritual, mental and physical well-being.
My practice is based on 25 years of working with family and high achievers, like surgeons, pilots and astronauts through a combination of:
* SuJok Korean Acupuncture & Acupressure (practitioner & teacher)
* Korean Twist Therapy (practitioner)
* Sam Won Dong (breathing and movement meditation) & Smile Meditation (seated)
* Systemic Family Constellation (group and individual)
* Compassionate Counselling
* Sound Therapy (voice and/or sacred drum)
* Doula & birth preparation
* Newborn Baby Cognitive Development courses

The more time passes the more of these practices weave and complement each other creating the most suitable atmosphere and the healing path for each unique client’s journey. My experience started from intuitive knowing to the scientific mind and in a spiral to conscious remembering of ancient knowledge of healing ourselves imbedded in all of us.

HOW DO I WORK WITH YOU?
I welcome you into my practice space with warmth and acceptance of just the way you are, we are all perfect and contributing in our own way to the world around us.

We work together to find your inner spark and nurture it until you find out how to adjust the brightness of your inner light. Together we find how to connect your INNER space to the world around you.

We choose the practice that would suit your well-being journey. On our first meeting, you may share your story and we discuss what would work for you in the next session. It can be a single-type therapy stream or a combination of acupuncture/acupressure/twist, physical movements, sound therapy, smile meditation and conscious inner work. We would weave these practices to suit your progress.I work in a series of 4 or 8 sessions, after the initial consultation for individuals. We assess the progress after each series and we either continue for another set or you may be empowered to take tailored practice to your needs and to continue on your own and come back only if you may feel the need to realign.

Newborn Baby Cognitive Development courses for parents and grandparents run on a monthly basis.

Korean Sam Won Dong (Breathing and Movement Meditation) and Twist practice also run on a monthly basis in person and online.

Feel free to reach out and I would be happy to answer your questions in 20 min free introductory phone conversation. 

I look forward to meeting you and learning what you are ready to change.
