Physiotherapist since 2007, founder of ReCentre Physio — and someone who has been where you might be now.
My purpose is to help people who’ve been carrying too much, for too long, feel safe in their bodies again — so they can stop just coping and start living.
“Tired but wired” became my normal.
I was a busy physiotherapist running my own clinic. Underneath the busyness was chronic stress, and a struggle to hold boundaries — with myself, in my relationships and in my work. I swung between the highs of anxiety, trying to fix and help everyone, and crashes where I couldn’t find the energy for ordinary demands. “Tired but wired” became my normal.
Each practice helped in the moment, but nothing stuck.
Talking it through, on its own, left me more anxious, not less. My body needed to be part of the process. Yoga, mindfulness, exercise, surfing, dancing, gardening: each one helped in the moment, but nothing stuck.
Nervous system training changed how I understood my clients, and myself.
At the same time, I kept seeing a pattern in my clients. The ones who stayed stuck weren’t only dealing with a sore neck or back. Their nervous systems were stuck in survival mode, and standard physiotherapy wasn’t built to address that. Training in nervous system regulation changed how I understood my clients, and myself.
Stress, grief, loss and trauma are part of being human, and they shape how we relate to our bodies. I don’t believe healing is about going back to how things were. Recovery can make room for growth and a clearer sense of what matters.
So I built ReCentre Physio: a place where you’re believed, where you set the pace, and where your history matters as much as your symptoms.
Physiotherapy that sees the whole of you: your body, your story, and the nervous system that connects them.
Helping your nervous system feel safe enough to move out of survival mode, so the effects of stress have room to ease. Sessions are paced to how your body is on the day.
Learning to notice your body’s signals again, and to trust them rather than override them. From there, it’s easier to reconnect with yourself and the people around you. You don’t have to tell your whole story for this to help.
Bringing it all together, at your pace, so you can meet each day with more steadiness and clarity.
Quick fixes like a breathwork session, a wellness retreat or a massage can bring welcome relief and quiet the barking for a while. But the guard dog is still on edge. My work helps it learn, over time, what’s actually safe.
