What I commonly see

The presentations I work with most regularly:

• Chronic musculoskeletal pain — back, neck, pelvis, headache
• Post-partum recovery: pelvic, abdominal, and thoracic patterns after birth
• Infants: birth strain patterns, feeding difficulty, sleep and settling, plagiocephaly
• Pregnancy: low back and pelvic pain, round ligament tension, rib and diaphragm restriction
• Nervous system dysregulation — including patients with developmental trauma, ADHD, autism, and chronic anxiety held in the body
• Post-surgical or post-injury reorganisation, once the acute phase has settled

The trauma-aware and nervous-system work is a particular focus. I have over 300 hours of specific training in this area (Kain, Terrell, Transforming Touch, Somatic Resilience and Regulation). Patients who have found other bodywork overwhelming or ineffective often respond differently here.

What I refer out

I refer regularly, and I will tell your patient early if their presentation is outside my scope or would be better served elsewhere:

• Pelvic floor dysfunction requiring internal assessment — pelvic floor physiotherapy
• Patterns that are primarily relational or psychological — trauma therapists, somatic therapists
• Complex orthopaedic or post-surgical presentations — specialist physiotherapy
• Situations needing a working medical diagnosis before treatment makes sense — GP or specialist
• Red flags — I am familiar with BC screening criteria and will act on them promptly

Before you refer

A brief conversation is always welcome. If you are unsure whether a patient is a good fit, write or call — I would rather spend ten minutes on that than have a patient arrive and leave without the care they needed.

I am registered with OsteopathyBC. If you need my registration number for a referral form, contact me directly.

Working alongside

I work comfortably alongside midwives, RMTs, doulas, GPs, physiotherapists, and counsellors. I send progress or discharge notes when asked. I am transparent about what I found, what I worked with, and what I observed — and I do not overstate my scope in those communications.

Professional consultation & mentoring

I am available for professional consultation with other practitioners — working through a presentation together, discussing load patterns, or thinking through what manual or somatic approaches are worth considering. I also offer mentoring for practitioners wanting to develop their biopsychosocial or trauma-informed framing.

Starting at $250 USD/EUR per hour. Fee personalised for engagements of 3+ hours.

If this is useful to you, write directly — I am glad to talk before committing to anything.
