About
Biodynamic Approach
Biodynamic massage is a therapeutic form of touch that recognises something most of us know intuitively — that body and mind are not separate. How we feel emotionally lives in our bodies, and how we hold our bodies shapes how we feel.
Developed in Norway by Gerda Boyesen, a clinical psychologist and physiotherapist, biodynamic massage emerged from her curiosity about the relationship between physical tension and emotional wellbeing. Boyesen discovered that unresolved stress and unexpressed emotions don't simply disappear — they settle into the body, held in muscles, tissues and the nervous system, often long after the original experience has passed.
Biodynamic massage works gently with this reality. Rather than simply targeting physical tension, it invites the body to release what it has been holding — at its own pace, in its own way. The result is not just relaxation, but a deeper sense of ease, balance and connection with yourself.
My Why
Before training in this field, I worked as a veterinary surgeon — a career that, in its own demanding way, taught me a great deal about pressure, responsibility and the toll a stressful working life can take on the body. I've also lived with chronic pain. Both experiences shaped what I value in this work: patience, attentiveness, and a belief that the body deserves to be listened to rather than pushed through.
I'm currently continuing my training at CBPC in body psychotherapy, deepening the work I already care about.
In every session, I aim to bring genuine presence, patience with the body's own pace, and a space of confidentiality and safety - meeting whatever arises with curiosity rather than judgement.
I'm a registered member of the Association of Biodynamic Massage Therapists (ABMT). This means my work is held to a professional standard, and I meet regularly with a supervisor to reflect on and support my practice.
