A movement mentor guides you (and your brain) towards easier and more efficient movement. This could result in more freedom and less pain doing the things you love, more power and precision when you require it, or more energy and vitality in your work. Mentoring is a relationship that develops over time. The more I learn about you and your movement patterns, the better I can guide you towards your goals.
It’s important that our relationship is based on equality. I have a passion for movement practice and am constantly learning. This is something I share with you from a place of authenticity and lived experience.
There is no pre-requisite number of sessions to benefit from movement mentoring. Every person’s progress is as individual as they are. You may achieve your goals in as little as one session, or you may like to attend weekly, monthly or yearly, depending on your movement goals and budget.
You do not need to come forever. You determine the length of engagement depending on your own wants and needs. This work is about unlocking unhelpful movement patterns and discovering more helpful ones; and letting the brain know it has many options for any given movement.
No. You can self-refer. I do work closely with a number of Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Chiropractors who also refer.
I am a registered Personal Trainer and a certified JEMS™ Rehabilitative Training Professional.

No. I work with people who come from a variety of backgrounds with varying degrees of physical fitness. Some people may consider themselves unfit but move relatively well; whereas some athletes may be super fit and have inefficient movement patterns. One of the benefits of improved movement is an increased level of vitality and fitness. How far a person wants to take this is up to the individual.
The most important thing about clothing is to wear something you’re comfortable in physically and emotionally. Having said this, the more I can see, the more I can observe about your movement and be able to guide you. Typically shorts or leggings and a t-shirt or singlet are suitable and generally sessions are conducted barefoot.
No. Movement mentoring is for everyone. While some people have athletic pursuits or play sports, many clients don’t have this interest. I have worked with people of all ages, all genders and sexualities, from varying cultural backgrounds, with different levels of ability or disability, and a range of physical and mental health conditions. Some of these people are athletes while others are not.
