About me

I’m a mother, Holistic Health Practitioner, KORE Therapy Consultant and highly experienced Occupational Therapist (OT) from Carlisle, with a  passion for promoting optimal health, well-being and independence. I specialise in working with children and adults of all ages experiencing difficulties engaging fully in their daily lives, due to a long term health condition, illness, injury or other difficulties that are impacting on them, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Who I work with

I have 22 years experience of working in the NHS, in physical health and psychology settings and have a wealth of experience supporting clients aged from 0 to 90 years plus.

​I work face to face and online supporting those with complex health needs, be those physical, psychological, educational or social, who may have a range of conditions including joint pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, back pain, headaches, arthritis, skin complaints, sports injuries, general anxiety disorders, worry, sleep disorders and neuro-diverse conditions (Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Dyspraxia.

I work across a range of settings from schools, client homes to work places. This has included assessing children, providing educational workshops to school staff and teaching therapeutic activity groups to adults and children in schools and community settings, such as Yoga Based Movement Therapy and Mindfulness to enable them to develop lifelong skills to manage their physical and emotional health.

In 2021 I began working with a private OT company with babies, children and teenagers around Cumbria and set up in private practice as an OT, KORE Therapist and Holistic Health Practitioner in 2022. 

I offer KORE (Musculoskeletal) Therapy, a ground-breaking treating and assessment system, which specialises in finding and treating the underlying root cause to illness, pain and injury. This doesn’t just deal with symptoms, it restores the health and well-being of my clients. This holistic therapy really compliments my existing skill set to help clients manage their own health.
