Welcome to Why Knot, where the name acknowledges the knots that can exist both in our bodies and minds. Here is where you can begin unravelling them.
Since 2006, I have been providing modern remedial massage to address physical injuries, aches, and pains, and to assist individuals in navigating the impact of emotional stress on their bodies.
Following additional training, I introduced psychotherapy sessions to offer a compassionate conversational space where individuals can openly explore the mental challenges they face and rediscover the wealth of self-knowledge stored in their bodies. The process provides a gentle yet direct route to the core of our authentic selves.
Why Knot provides a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your physical and mental aches and pains without fear of judgment.
So, if you're ready to take the first step toward a happier, healthier life, why not give Why Knot a try?

Welcome to the next generation of remedial massage!
My approach combines the latest insights in functional fascia (connective tissue), polyvagal theory (nervous system/body response to stressors), and trauma-informed practice. It's an evolution beyond traditional massage, broadening our focus to encompass the forces and strains that impact the entire body, including issues related to soft tissue dysfunction and long term holding patterns.
My primary aim is to assist you in releasing physical tension from physical or emotional causes, realigning your body, restoring fluid movement, and promoting the healing process. Whether you're dealing with stress, chronic pain, seeking improved performance, recovering from an injury, or simply striving to optimize your physical well-being, my approach is tailored to meet your needs.
Rather than settling for the superficial and piecemeal approach of traditional massages, I invite you to experience the advantages of our next-generation remedial massage and witness the transformative impact of a holistic approach. Learn More...
Psychotherapy

Sometimes our bodies are the first to tell us there is something amiss in our inner world. Maybe its bracing against unseen threats, a chest tightening, teeth grinding, constricted breathing, butterflies, twisted guts, or an aching heart.
These physical pleas are your body's authentic language, signalling that it has something important to express about what's unfolding in our lives.
My compassion-based approach extends beyond traditional talking therapies by adding the body's perspective. By tuning into the body’s sensations and impulses as you process mental knots and challenges, you may discover the body’s remarkable ability to reveal what your mind may have concealed. Often there are meanings and insights to be found that the intellect alone might not have uncovered.
The body, inherently attuned to truth and responsive to present needs, becomes a potent ally in our journey toward understanding and healing, guiding us to rediscover our innate self-compassion and acceptance.
Whether you're seeking to tackle specific life challenges or simply wish to unlock deeper self-understanding, I am here to assist you in exploring your inner landscape. Learn More...
