About Anne

A therapist with nearly 20 years experience of helping people feeling better using Massage Therapy, Physiotherapy, and Feldenkrais 

​Anne was a tutor and a teacher for the Scottish Massage Schools for a number of years. She also worked in the NHS as a Physiotherapist for several years before setting up in private practice in 2011. 
She uses a variety of techniques, learned and developed through the years to resolve pain issues and movement restriction problems. Passionate about her work, her knowledge and skills combine efficient techniques with a gentle touch. Her training in the Feldenkrais method, has enabled her to refine and expand her ability to do body work using a fully person-centred approach, empowering you to reconnect with your body in a positive way, learning to unlock your potential for greater ease of movement.

What is unique about her approach?
  • Her ability to connect with the source of the restriction or problem and facilitate release, enabling the body to find its own healing potential and balance. 
  • Explaining what is being done at  every step of the treatment  so that her clients have a good understanding of what is happening and why. This understanding enhances the therapeutic effect of the treatment, enabling the visualisation of the results that want to be achieved. 
  • A unique set of treatment tools, gained from extensive training with top professionals that can be adapted to each client's personal context and situation.
  • Using a pain free approach to hands-on treatments. Only in specific rehabilitation scenarios pain is a necessary element of recovery. Pain is not necessary for releasing muscle tension or re-organising unhelpful movement patterns. 

Her ultimate goal is for each client to leave their treatment session feeling it has been helpful and meaningful, that they understand better what is going on, and have been given long term management solutions to prevent the problem from coming back or have a better quality of life in the case of chronic conditions.
