At Integra Therapy we provide a therapeutic approach that works with the whole of you. We take into account; musculoskeletal injuries, pain, stress and the emotional distress of life events, to help you find the solutions for vibrant living. Alongside our core therapies we have developed a unique understanding that support marginalised groups, particularly people of colour where the inequalities in society often have an impact on health.

Physiotherapy - Wisdom of the body

Physiotherapy provides expertise to manage a variety of musculoskeletal, sports, chronic pain and other somatic conditions. The combination of compassionate therapeutic engagement, allows one’s body to provide the solutions for transformative healing.

Somatics - Cooperation & interconnectedness

Authentic Movement is a practice that cultivates a more empathetic relationship with aspects of ourselves that may have been neglected over time. It uses aspects of mindful movement, contemplative practice, active listening, depth psychology and creative expression to give full attention to one’s experience.

Shamanism - Freedom

The long-standing spiritual practice and research in Transpersonal Psychology and Consciousness Studies, underpin the Shamanic healing work offered. We inquire deeper into the energetic residues which might be holding you back, due to our personal, collective trauma and experiences.

My philosophy

Vibrant living is understanding the nature of relationships.

It is possible to have clarity in how we relate, as it can transform the life of an individual and an organisation in a meaningful way.

Underpinning this clarity is non-judgement, compassion and the capacity to make choices so these relationships can be explored, adapted and transformed.

Physiotherapy

This is physiotherapy excellence making a difference to your well-being. Physiotherapy using integrative approaches to pain, injury, and health. because of the combination of psychologically informed and wisdom tradition disciplines. This unique blend allows you to discover your body’s full potential because it gives you the tools to facilitate positive change .

Somatic Education

Somatic education is a process of sustained awareness of the body’s full experience by learning to track sensations, breath, voluntary and involuntary movements, images, thoughts and feelings. It allows an open curiosity to understand ones experience in a meaningful and comprehensive way because it enables a person to discover things within and for themselves. Held in a safe and inclusive environment, somatic practices invite a deep integration of the self that facilitates healthier relationship to ones physical well-being.

Shamanic Healing

This subtle energy system uses ancient healing traditions, energy medicine and a contemporary therapeutic approach. Disturbances in the body-mind have corresponding energetic imprints that disrupt a persons sense of well-being at the subtlest levels. Whilst these energetic distortions can be cleared and reorganised, so interventions at this subtle level
also ease suffering. They therefore aim to create shifts in consciousness towards greater health and wholeness.

Myofascial release

A powerful and effective manual therapy to address pain and dysfunction from injury and trauma. Due to the combined assessment and diagnostic skills used in physiotherapy, myofascial release is an effective technique because it improves the health of the body’s systems and can relieve connective tissue pain.

Somatic Body Mapping

Somatic Body Mapping is a methodology and practice that uses body awareness, movement and the imagination in a creative process to manifest the experiences that live inside us.
A life-sized outline of the body is recreated in a safe holding environment that celebrates in playful and sensitive ways the full expression of how one wishes to see themselves.
It develops the capacity to explore our bodies, identities and sense of self in expansive and creative ways, opening the potential to embody new ways of being.

Authentic Movement

Authentic Movement is at its essence the pratice of ‘seeing’ and ‘being seen’ in a compassionate and non-judgemental way.
The practice creatively weaves the skill of using mindful attention with ones moving body, stillness, speaking consciously and being in relationship with others.
It builds our capacity to develop our own inner ‘conscious witness’.
The form can address the deep longing humans have for connection, to be accepted in the unique expressions of ourselves.
In an inclusive environment you will therefore be held safely to explore your experience by harnessing the full wisdom of your body.

Biography

As the founder of Integra Therapy, my career has influenced how I envision the services we provide. It’s important to us how we provide support for individuals, groups in the community and within organisations. Our achievements are many; such as being chosen out of hundreds of applicants as a funding awardee to deliver an employability project, Black Swan for Black Lambeth residents with long-term conditions and their carers. At Integra Therapy we aim to create change and make an impact.

We use evidenced based approaches by our core team of person-centred physiotherapists with our clients. We offer a wide range of integrative services to enhance health and well-being. They include; physiotherapy, sports-related rehabilitation, pain management, manual therapy, yoga, and somatics.

Diversity is central to our business because of the value it brings to our work. As a result, it motivates our growth when thinking what services we provide and how were provide them. In my free time I am a proud local Trustee of Myatts Field Park Project. I flirt with the learning the piano and tabla’s; aspire to have an abundant vegetable garden, delight in my dancing body on and off the pole, sharing ideas, reading and enjoying spacious weekends with no plans.
