My Story

As a kid, I had no fear. I was the big brother — the biggest kid on the street — so I had to lead the way, take the leap, act like nothing scared me. I was all action: climbing fences, jumping off rooves and staircases, even landing on a cactus once. My poor mum was always taking me to the doctor for one thing or another.

And through it all, cricket was the one thing I couldn’t get enough of. I played every day — with my brother, the neighbours, at school, at the club. It was just non-stop. As a kid, you just kept going — you didn’t think about fatigue or limits. You played until your body made you stop.

When I was 14, I was playing in a tournament with six matches spread over two weeks. During one game, after a long day on the field, I cramped badly mid-innings and could barely walk. I had to hobble off. Then an older man — someone who simply knew what to do — pressed his thumb deep into my calf. It was sharp, painful even… but minutes later, I was back on the field. We went on to win that game

That moment never left me — how something so simple, so direct, could unlock the body and bring me back. There was something in the way he did it — not just the technique, but the feeling behind it. A kind of quiet magic. Whatever it was, it stayed with me — and in its own way, it set me on this path.

My approach to physiotherapy is hands-on. I’ve never worked in clinics filled with machines or gadgets doing the work for me. My hands are my tools — shaped through years of practice, mentorship, and learning from every treatment I’ve ever received, especially when travelling.

For me, healing isn’t just about muscles and joints — it’s about energy, attention, and connection.

Over the years, energy work found its way into my practice. I’m trained in Reiki Level 1 & 2, and Tibetan Mantra Healing (Level 1), though I’ve been quietly using mantra-based touch in my sessions for over ten years. Every time I place my hands, there’s intention — a syllable, a sound, a silent offering. Patients sometimes ask if I’m holding a tool. But it’s just my hands, the mantra, and the current flowing through.

These days, I also work with visualisation — clearing blockages, realigning structure, and shifting energy using images of wind, waterfalls, lightning, spinning chakras, even mini tornados. This way of working has deepened through the guidance of my teachers — Ken, a renowned Reiki practitioner and artist, and Drukmo, my teacher in Tibetan mantra healing. Both introduced me to visualisation not just as a tool, but as a language of energy — intuitive, symbolic, alive. Often I play healing music — Tibetan or Hindu — to support the energy. The space becomes something more than just a treatment room.

I’m grateful to everyone who’s come through my practice. Each person has helped shape the work and supported my growth. You’re part of my journey, and I’m thankful for it. I feel lucky to do what I love, and I genuinely look forward to coming in each day.

My aim is to keep evolving as a healer — and eventually to teach this work, so others can carry it forward in their own way. I want to share what I’ve learned, what’s been passed to me, and what continues to reveal itself through practice. A big part of this journey is also about inspiring others — to recognise their own gifts, to grow into who they really are, and to show up in the world as kind, capable, and wholehearted people.
