EXPERIENCED THERAPIST OFFERING HOLISTIC AND INTEGRATED THERAPY. 25 YEARS DEDICATED TO HEALING.
From the beginning of my time studying physiotherapy at university I felt a strong sense that there was more to health and healthcare than the traditional western medical model. This sense was clarified by the more patients I saw, especially those with chronic (long-term) or more complex problems..
Through the past 25 years, I’ve been on a path to further understand the human body, wellbeing and health. I have always had a keen insight into the evolving landscape of healthcare and deeply value the importance of acknowledging the advances of treatment in the conventional medical medicine as well as acknowledging the effects of it.
My journey led me to discover Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy – a scientifically supported approach that empowers the body’s inherent ability to heal. This gentle yet powerful therapy has become the mainstay of my practice. Through working as a Biodynamic Cranio practitioner I can offer the care and support to connect to health and wellbeing essential for healing.
On a personal note, being a parent to my two children has provided me with valuable insights into the joys and challenges of parenthood, as well as an understanding of the struggles faced by parents and children in today’s world.
Yoga has the potential to be a profoundly healing practice, but when it comes to certain medical conditions or injuries, not all practices are appropriate or sometimes a simple modification can be of significant help.
In these sessions we’ll explore common conditions, when and how to adapt or modify practices, and where they may unintentionally cause harm. We will also revisit key anatomy and physiology to help you make informed, decisions for safer, more effective yoga teaching and practice.
There will be a lunch break and comfort breaks throughout the day.
We will introduce the red, orange, and green flag system — a simple, practical framework to help you recognise when yoga is likely to be beneficial (green), when caution and modification are needed (orange), and when yoga may be unsafe or contraindicated without specialist guidance (red).
Run by physiotherapist and yoga teacher Kerry Francis these sessions are ideal for yoga teachers, therapists, and experienced practitioners who want to teach and practise in a safer, more aware, and more trauma-informed way.
