Playing in various European orchestras for several years, I soon realised that the competitive and stressful life as a flautist was not for me. As a result, I changed direction, graduated as a primary school teacher in Germany and subsequently obtained the South African teaching diploma for high schools. The core question during and beyond my years of teaching always remained the same:
Why do some children thrive and excel and others do not?
Since then I have embarked on a journey of continued learning in the fields of brain development, primary infant reflex and sensory integration, anatomy and CranioSacral Therapy studies.
Discovering there some of the root causes for many presumed incurable conditions such as attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Autism spectrum, developmental delay, behavioural challenges, anxiety, and chronic conditions accelerated my search and empowered me on my own healing path, and that of my children.
From my private practice in Somerset West, South Africa, I work with all age groups and a variety of health conditions such as musculoskeletal pain, migraines and headaches, post-concussion syndrome, dental trauma, TMJ issues, teeth grinding, physiological dysfunctions, emotional and physical trauma and chronic illnesses. My work incorporates a potent combination including CranioSacral Therapy, SomatoEmotional Release® and Myofascial Release.
Please note that no injury is too old to be treated. The nervous system holds the key to the body’s incredible potential to heal itself! Powerful treatment can be provided to help with childhood trauma and in-utero and birth experiences. As this work is extremely gentle, it can be very helpful with babies and children, pregnancy, postpartum, and elders.
