My Approach

Two bodies of work.
One practice.

My work draws on two complementary disciplines. Functional Patterns addresses how the body moves. The Sedona Method addresses what the body holds. Together they form the foundation of everything I do with clients.

The foundation

Training the body the way it was built to move.

The biomechanical work I do with clients is grounded in Functional Patterns, a methodology developed over decades of research into how the human body is designed to function. The core premise is straightforward: modern life has pulled us away from the movement patterns our bodies were built for, and that disconnection shows up as pain, stiffness, poor posture, and reduced resilience.

Functional Patterns works by identifying and addressing the compensations and imbalances that develop when we move away from our natural blueprint. Rather than treating isolated symptoms, it looks at the whole structure and how each part relates to the rest.

The four foundations

Everything builds from four fundamental human movements

01
Standing
02
Walking
03
Running
04
Throwing

These four movements form what Functional Patterns calls the evolutionary blueprint of human function. By training the body to perform these well, and understanding how posture, gait, and structure either support or interfere with them, we create a foundation for sustainable physical health.

In practice this means looking at how you stand, how you walk, how your body is organised in space, and what patterns have developed over years of modern living, previous injuries, or habitual stress. From there we build a program that works with your specific structure rather than against it.

“The goal is not to build a perfect body. It is to restore the function that was always there and help you move through life with less effort and more ease.”

In the sessions

What biomechanics work looks like in practice

We start with a full posture analysis in the introductory session. This gives us a clear picture of how your body is currently organised and where the key patterns are. From there the weekly sessions build progressively, working through movement corrections, strength, and the gradual retraining of how your body holds itself and moves through the world.

Progress is visible. Most clients notice changes in how they feel in their body within the first few weeks, and the before and after photographs taken at regular intervals show the structural changes over time.

The other half

What the body holds that movement alone cannot release.

Alongside the physical work, I draw on the Sedona Method, a practice focused on releasing the emotional patterns and underlying tensions that become stored in the body over time. Not everyone needs this. But for many people, it becomes the piece that makes everything else click.

The Sedona Method is not therapy and it is not positive thinking. It is a set of simple questions that invite you to sit with what is present in your body and mind, and gently let it go. The underlying wants we all carry, to be in control, to have approval, to feel secure, are often running quietly in the background, driving tension and restriction that no amount of physical training can fully resolve on its own.

“It is more like learning to release a clenched fist you did not know was clenched.”

How it found me

Six years of personal practice before it ever entered my work with clients.

I came across the Sedona Method in my mid-twenties through an unexpected connection at a festival. I started with the audiobook Letting Go by David Hawkins, and what followed was years of intensive personal practice. The shifts I experienced were real and sometimes immediate. A chronic tension in a relationship I had carried for years quietly dissolved. Not because anything external changed, but because I stopped holding on to what was keeping it in place.

It was only later, working with clients on their bodies, that I began to see how much of what they were carrying physically was connected to what they had not yet been able to let go of emotionally. I started introducing elements of the Sedona Method carefully, when the moment called for it. The results confirmed what I had already experienced myself.

Want to read the full story of how this became part of my practice?

The moment I knew

A friend. A releasing session. And pain that had lasted for years — gone.

I had already experienced the method working on myself, small shifts and some that were surprisingly immediate. But a session with a friend made it undeniable. She had been dealing with chronic pain for months, possibly longer. We both sensed that what she was holding onto emotionally was part of what was keeping it alive in her body.

We worked through the releasing process together. At a certain moment she looked at me differently. The pain that had been with her for so long had almost entirely disappeared in a single session. It did not come back to the same extent.

“She looked at me with relief. The pain she had been carrying for months had almost entirely gone. And it did not come back.”

What opened up

Including the relationship I had wanted to repair for years.

One of the most gradual and meaningful shifts happened in my relationship with my mother. I spent a long time releasing on that relationship — on hurt I had carried, on beliefs I had formed, on blame I had not even fully acknowledged. I was not working on the relationship directly. I was working on what I was holding.

Slowly, without any direct intervention, things changed. The friction softened. The ease came back. Not because she changed, but because I had stopped holding on to the things that were keeping the distance in place. That is what this work does. It does not rewrite your story. It removes the grip your story has on you.

Why it became part of my coaching

Because I could not ignore what I kept seeing.

After years of working with people on their bodies I kept seeing the same thing. Physical work creates real measurable change. And sometimes it plateaus in ways that do not make mechanical sense. The body is doing everything right but something is still holding.

The emotional and mental struggles people were dealing with, or quietly suppressing, were woven into the pain or tension they were experiencing physically. So I started experimenting, carefully and gently, introducing certain questions from the Sedona Method during sessions when the moment felt right. A lot of people resist it at first. But with some clients something would shift. Something in their inner world would move. And I could see it.

“I was not looking for a new method to add to my toolkit. I was responding to what I kept seeing in the people in front of me.”

Ready to go deeper

The first step is just a conversation.

If this is the kind of depth you are looking for, the first step is a free call. No pressure and no pitch.
