About Me: My Journey to
Oak Barton Wellbeing

For as long as I can remember, movement has been a central part of my life. Dancing from the age of three and it still being my biggest passion, spending over a decade as a ski instructor in the Austrian mountains and later coaching young athletes in sport-specific yoga, I’ve always felt a deep connection to how the body moves and interacts with the world around it. Running my own paddleboard business for eight years allowed me to further explore how movement and nature can nurture wellbeing.

My own journey hasn’t been without its challenges. From a young age, I experienced chronic illnesses and in my late teens, I sustained a spinal injury that left me living with chronic pain and a range of ongoing symptoms for more than half my life. That injury became a turning point—one that set me on a path of searching, learning and deep inner work. In the last 5 years I’ve moved through deeply intense life experiences of trauma, grief and loss. These experiences have asked everything of me—and in return, they’ve offered deep insight, resilience and transformation. They have shaped who I am and become part of the fabric of my life, pushing me to explore even more deeply what it truly means to heal, grow and come home to myself.

Over the past two decades, I’ve explored and trained in a wide range of healing therapies and modalities—many grounded in an embodied somatic-based approach. It’s been a humbling journey, one that continues to teach me that healing, like life, is far from linear. It has shown me how much strength, softness, and surrendering to what is, it takes to keep walking this path with patience and trust.

I’ve come to understand that working gently with the nervous system—so the body can begin to feel truly safe—is fundamental to lasting change. This sense of safety is what opens the door to the magic, wisdom, and innate self-healing potential that lives within us all.

Supporting nervous system regulation is the underlying intention in the work I offer today—and it continues to guide how I care for myself on my own healing journey too.

This transformative path continues to unfold. It’s taught me the strength of vulnerability, the power of presence and the profound wisdom that lives within the body when we learn to truly listen and trust its ability to guide us back to ourselves.

What made Spinal Flow stand out, both as a practitioner and on my own healing journey, is that it doesn’t focus on what needs to be ‘fixed.’ Instead, it honours the sovereignty of the body and its innate intelligence. I’ve always had a deep knowing that the body holds a powerful internal wisdom and a natural ability to heal itself when the right conditions and support are in place. Spinal Flow allows exactly that. It helps us listen to the body, work with it—not against it—and access the calm, healing state we were always designed to return to.

This work supports something I feel passionately about: the possibility of being truly free to be—our most natural, authentic selves. To enjoy life more fully, to heal, to grow, and to be able to support others as they reconnect with their own healing potential from within.

At Oak Barton Wellbeing, I draw on all that I’ve learned and experienced to support others on their own healing journeys. I believe that each of us has the capacity to heal and my role is to guide and facilitate that process. Whether you’re seeking relief from physical discomfort, support to release emotional blockages, or simply a way to reconnect with your body, I am here to support you with care and compassion.

It’s an honour to be part of your journey to greater wellbeing and I’m excited to help you restore balance and vitality in your body and being—so that you can be more free to be you.
