About the Founder
How this work came to be
My background began in Western medicine. I worked for almost a decade as a senior neurological physiotherapist, specialising in the nervous system. My training was grounded in clinical, physiological science — and in the early days, that's exactly how I practiced.
However, something started to shift very early on. Even though I was trained to work with the physical body, I began to notice that my sessions were happening on multiple levels. Clients with complex trauma, fibromyalgia, PTSD, and conversion disorders — those with symptoms that didn't fit into neat medical categories — were coming to see me.
Many of them would sit on the table, and without me asking, they'd simply begin to share. Childhood trauma. Life transitions. Deep emotional material. I hadn't prompted them, and often I wasn't even using my hands — yet they would just begin to speak, saying: "I feel safe here. I don't know why this is coming out. I've never told anyone this before."
When internal alignment is restored, the external begins to reorganise.
There was one client in particular who had lost sensation in both her legs for over eight years. Every test she'd undergone showed nothing conclusive. And within two gentle sessions — where I barely touched her — her sensation started to return. What came through was that she had abandoned her art to pursue a more stable life path, and something inside her had shut down.
After our sessions, she began creating again. She moved out of the city, into the countryside, and her whole life began to rearrange around that reconnection to her essence. That experience taught me something important: this work isn't just about physiology. It's about returning people to the truth of who they are.
Another layer that opened for me during this time was medical intuition. I would hear things — words or diagnoses — before I read a patient's notes. Once, I walked into a room and heard clearly: "liver disease." I checked the chart, and it was accurate. These moments were undeniable. I hadn't trained in this. It simply started to come online.
A living practice.
Eventually, I knew I had to leave the hospital system. What I was experiencing could no longer be contained in a clinical model. Over the past decade, I've studied with many teachers, in many places — much of it influenced by time in India and Nepal, where I studied yoga therapy, Eastern medicine, Vedic philosophy, and esoteric Buddhism. But this method isn't from a single lineage. It's been mapped through direct experience, through hundreds of bodies on the table, and through listening — deeply — to what wanted to emerge.
The structure I have created here is meant as a guide, but you're meant to grow beyond it. Spinal Attunement is a living practice. It will continue to evolve, as you do. And what you'll find is that this work — while gentle, subtle, and often quiet — creates profound shifts.
