About

Christine works with the body as an intelligent system - one that knows how to reorganise when it's met with clarity, presence, and care.

Her work is hands-on manual therapy: gentle rather than forceful, working with the nervous system and the whole body. Sessions are guided by observation, careful listening — through the tissues, the nervous system, and the quieter signals that emerge as the body begins to settle.With a strong foundation in anatomy, movement, and clinical practice, her approach is precise, grounded, and responsive. She works with what is present, allowing patterns of tension, protection, and adaptation to soften without force.Alongside her clinical training, her work is informed by an ongoing contemplative practice that refines perception, timing, and steadiness — supporting how she listens and responds within a session. Rather than imposing change, she creates the conditions for the body’s own intelligence to lead.

The Work

Much of this comes back to something simple: your body already knows how to settle, repair, and find its way. It always has.Life gets busy, stress builds, and those signals grow harder to hear — but they were never lost. This is gentle, precise hands-on work that helps quiet the noise, so you can feel your own body clearly again, and from that clarity, begin to trust yourself.

THE PATTERNS WE CARRYThe tension you hold, the way you brace, the habits that run beneath thought — none of it is a fault. These are protective patterns: things your system built, often long ago, to guard something tender. Every one of them has served a purpose in your life.Which is why trying to force them away rarely works. When you resist a pattern, shame it, or push against it, your system reads that as more threat — and threat is exactly what created the pattern in the first place. So it holds on tighter, and the cycle continues.Something different happens when you turn toward them instead. The moment you become aware of a pattern, and acknowledge the ways it has looked after you, something begins to shift — gently, and on your own terms.THE EVOLVED WORKOver the past couple of years I've moved into a gentler, nervous-system-led way of working. I'm now opening it as a focused series, with an introductory rate held until 31 August — a deliberate choice to make this way of working accessible and give people a real chance to experience it properly.It isn't built around one-off sessions. It's the consistent weekly rhythm, across the full series, that lets the work do what it does. Sessions don't fix or override the body; they create the conditions for it to reorganise when it's ready. No single technique is applied — what's present determines the work, and each body brings its own history, pacing, and capacity for change.What's involvedTen 30-minute sessions, weekly. New clients begin with a one-hour initial assessment. Weekly is the rhythm I'd suggest, and it works well; some choose twice a week and find the work builds on itself — the nervous system tends to respond to that closer rhythm. It's there if it suits you, no pressure either way.After the first tenThese ten sessions are a beginning, not a fixed prescription. The work is layered and always led by you. By the end you'll have a felt sense of what you need next, if anything — and from there sessions often space out naturally. There's nothing to commit to beyond what feels right.What I askThat you commit to the full run — it's the series that does the work, not any single session — and that you give me honest feedback as we go. If you're not yet sure, you're welcome to begin pay-as-you-go and move to the series rate once you know it's for you.HOW THE WORK UNFOLDSMy work helps you meet your patterns, and yourself, with compassion and presence — sometimes within a session, sometimes afterward, sometimes much later, on a walk or mid-sentence. As that happens, the energy your system had been spending on holding is freed for other things. You see yourself more clearly, and space opens for new choices and new ways of being.From there, the work becomes about building enough safety and resources — within you, and around you — to explore what these patterns were protecting and the in time, to meet the wisdom, beneath them.It unfolds in an order the body chooses, at a pace that feels safe. You can't hurry it, and you don't need to. Each step opens once the one before it feels steady enough.MY PART, AND YOURS
My work isn't another thing to depend on. It's here to hand you back to yourself: resourced, embodied, and empowered in your own life.
So this isn't a quick fix, and it isn't something I do for you. It's a process you move through, and consistency is what carries it — the work we do together, and the work you do on your own. It can also sit well alongside counselling, psychology, or talk therapy. The two often meet, and things tend to land more fully in the body.WHAT YOU MIGHT FIND
More presence. More awareness. More truth. More aliveness. More purpose. More connection — to yourself, and to the people and life around you.
In the end, this is about reconnecting with your own truth, so you can build a life that reflects it.BEGIN
