Catherine is a Registered Cranio Sacral Therapist and Physiotherapist in Newcastle and was a Tutor at the College of Cranio Sacral Therapy in London where she tutored, led teaching clinics, study groups and assisted in post-graduate training. She is also qualified in Acupuncture for pain relief. Catherine also runs a Plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) Assessment Clinic specialising in the assessment, prevention and treatment of Positional Plagiocephaly. Having spent over 15 years also treating this condition using helmet orthoses, Catherine can also recommend and refer babies for this treatment if needed.
Catherine recently moved back to Newcastle over 10 years ago and is currently working in several clinics in Gateshead and Newcastle.
Catherine has always had an interest in health and helping people. After graduating in physiotherapy from Sheffield Hallam University in 1995, Catherine worked in various specialities both in the NHS and private practices in Sheffield and London. Catherine gained vast experience in treating both adults and children with a wide variety of conditions but, despite the satisfaction that Catherine got from helping her clients, she felt there was something missing from her work. After a two year career break in which she travelled extensively throughout India, South East Asia and West Africa, Catherine began to see health and well-being more holistically and the importance of physical, mental and spiritual vitality. As a result of this awareness Catherine decided to train as a Cranio Sacral Therapist under the tuition of Thomas Attlee at the London College of Cranio Sacral Therapy. To Catherine, this was the missing piece of the jigsaw and this enabled her to use her physiotherapy background of anatomy and physiology to treat clients on one level but also permitted a more holistic approach to healing allowing both emotional and physical imbalances to be met through intuitive touch.
Catherine provides Cranio Sacral Therapy and Physiotherapy for adults, children, mothers and babies. Her unique approach allows her to incorporate both Cranio Sacral Therapy and Physiotherapy into her sessions if she feels this is beneficial to the client.
Catherine is registered and insured by the Cranio Sacral Therapy Association and Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and as such, is subject to strict codes of conduct, standards and continuing professional development.
