About Me

Kim is a Yoga Therapist and Integrative Yoga Psychologist with decades of experience working in the NHS as a Physiotherapist specialising in women’s health

I became aware of inequalities facing women forty year ago…

… while living in San Francisco where I was studying Shiatsu and Massage. I got involved in a local organisation working to combat violence against women.

I’ve since spent many years working in the NHS as a specialist pelvic health physiotherapist. Women often face unique health challenges, yet these are too often overlooked or minimised in mainstream healthcare. This lack of understanding can cause deep frustration, prolonged suffering, and a loss of trust in the systems meant to care for us.

Alongside physical health, many women carry emotional and mental burdens shaped by life experiences, societal expectations, and, sadly, trauma such as abuse or violence. These complex layers, biological, emotional, and social, must all be recognised in order to truly support women’s well-being.

Yoga came into my life when pregnant, practicing poses, breathing, connecting with my unborn baby, all with the hope of an easeful birth. As with all the best made plans, life had a different one and the birth was quite traumatic, and it took me many years to come to terms and at peace with what occurred. Yoga has been an enduring practice to help me come back to myself, despite the challenges and turbulence of life.

Through yoga and embodied self-inquiry, I have found ways to be curious, to truly understand I’m not my thoughts and soften long-held beliefs about myself. I’m more aware of my nervous system and have insight into why, as a child, I daydreamed and disconnected in order to survive a traumatic childhood. I’m better able to cultivate compassion for both my adult and younger self.

This same compassion underpins the way I hold space for my clients. I provide an integrative approach utilising knowledge gleaned from my work as a pelvic health physiotherapist along with yoga therapy and psychotherapy.

Beyond my work, I find joy in nature, traveling, learning, movement, and most of all, in being a mother to a kind, grounded son and a grandmother to a fearless, spirited granddaughter.
