About Me

I am a Shiatsu practitioner, teacher, writer and walking artist based in Edinburgh, UK.

I enjoy travelling - teaching internationally, giving Shiatsu, and quietly walking the world. I uphold the values of respect for all, and endeavour to work with integrity and honesty.

I qualified as a Shiatsu practitioner 28 years ago after 4 years of study, and have an inclusive practice, working with people of all ages with a wide range of health concerns. With extensive experience of Shiatsu during pregnancy, with babies and children, and as part of cancer care, I am currently focusing on touch for those who are grieving or at the end of life. I worked on the Complementary Therapy team at my local hospice in Edinburgh before the pandemic. I am a member of the CNHC Profession Specific Board for Shiatsu and also edit the summer Shiatsu Society Journal.
