Migraine Awareness Week is an important time to talk about a subject many people live with every day. I've been working with people who suffer from headaches, tension headaches, and migraines, including those triggered by hormonal shifts, stress, or menopause.

I've developed a non-allopathic approach to treating these conditions, one that avoids medication and tablets. By using techniques like acupressure, soft tissue release, myofascial release, and muscular energy techniques, I've helped clients with long-standing migraines—some for as long as 20 years—find relief. In as few as five sessions, we can release the tension that contributes to these symptoms, allowing you to regain control of your life.

My mission is personal. After spending five years on a regimen of over 17 tablets a day and still being in constant pain, I knew there had to be a better way. I stopped the medication and began my journey into natural, holistic healing, a path that has led me to where I am today: out of pain. Now, it's my mission to help you do the same.

My work focuses on the cervical spine, the base of the skull, and the small muscles and fascia surrounding the head and atlas. When these areas are under constant pressure from stress, poor posture, or the "fight or flight" response, they can become fatigued and create a catalyst for more pain. The head naturally wants to stay over the body's centre of gravity. However, factors like stress, anxiety, or hormonal changes can cause the head to protrude forward, leading to a subtle or significant misalignment. This creates isometric pressure on the muscles at the top of the spine and base of the skull, a deeply held tension that's often difficult to release with just exercises or typical manipulations.

My techniques involve hands-on manipulation to soothe and release this constant contraction. The exercises I provide are designed to complement our work together, helping to maintain the relief we achieve.

I want you to know there is a natural, holistic way to manage the root cause of your symptoms without depending on medication. I have walked the path of allopathic medicine myself, and it's what has fuelled my passion and guided my knowledge over the last 15 years. My goal is to help you get back to feeling like yourself, free from pain and back to a sense of normality.

I look forward to working with you. If this message doesn't apply to you, please consider sharing it with someone who may benefit.
