Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that honours your body’s innate intelligence and self-corrective abilities. I believe we are connected to and influenced by everything on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. Sometimes, these connections can feel truly magical.
For me, being connected means accepting and remaining open to what is—within a safe, non-judgemental, and transparent environment. True connection begins when we feel grounded and balanced in our surroundings, enabling us to engage with life and love as our natural state of being.
If you are searching for holistic pain relief, gentle bodywork, or trauma-informed therapy in Central Otago or Central Lakes, I invite you to experience the difference Ortho-Bionomy can make.

Ortho-Bionomy® focuses “on the structure because that is the literal skeleton upon which our life is built. When your structure works right, your circulation works better, you feel better, you think better.” — Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls
Ortho-Bionomy® is a gentle, non-invasive form of bodywork that stimulates the body’s natural self-corrective processes. As a practitioner, I accompany my clients on their journey of recovery by building a bridge between conscious and subconscious responsiveness and awareness. Through this approach, I support clients in Central Otago and Central Lakes to become more attuned to their physical sensations, using this awareness to identify changes that can improve daily wellbeing and enhance their own self-healing practices.
Self-care exercises are provided for clients to use after each session. These gentle practices help reinforce the positive changes experienced during treatment, making it easier to integrate and maintain those improvements in everyday life.
The goal of every Ortho-Bionomy® session is to release muscular and emotional tension, provide pain relief, and create a comfortable environment based on trust and collaboration between client and practitioner.

What to Expect in an Ortho-Bionomy® Session
During your Ortho-Bionomy® session in Central Otago or Central Lakes, you will remain comfortably clothed, either lying down on a massage table or sitting in a supportive chair. Each session takes place in a warm, welcoming environment designed to help you feel safe and relaxed. As a trauma-informed Ortho-Bionomy practitioner, I focus on open communication and continuous feedback, ensuring that your preferences and comfort are always respected.
Treatment may include gentle touch, slight movements, and light pressure on reflex points to locate and address tension and pain. By consciously creating a comfortable, prolonged, and non-painful body position, we invite your body to release stress and realign naturally. These subtle changes can affect the muscular structure, nervous system, blood and lymphatic fluids, and fascia, leading to realignment and improved balance. Repetition of these gentle experiences helps your body and nervous system recognise and remember new, healthier patterns for the future.
Throughout your session, I will guide you to notice and track sensations in your body, supporting your ability to observe any changes, no matter how subtle. This process often leads to the release of both muscular and emotional tension, promoting deep relaxation and a renewed sense of wellbeing. Many clients in Alexandra, Wanaka, Ettrick, and beyond comment on how the safety and security of Ortho-Bionomy® sessions help them reconnect with a sense of relaxation and ease.
Ortho-Bionomy® is highly adaptable—sessions can be tailored to your specific needs and comfort, whether you prefer treatment on a massage table or seated in a chair. This gentle bodywork therapy is suitable for people of all ages and backgrounds seeking pain relief, improved mobility, and holistic support.
