Positive changes for injuries, trauma & pain using gentle therapeutic bodywork.
Techniques and principles developed by British Osteopath and martial artist, Dr Arthur Pauls (1970's) are used to
→ Promote balance in the structures of the body, including the musculoskeletal, respiratory, digestive, circulatory & nervous system.
→ Encourage postural re-education and deep relaxation.
→ Work directly with the nervous system to facilitate lasting change.

Ortho-Bionomy Practitioner
The human body possesses an enormous and persistent capacity to heal itself. Our bodies go in and out of balance naturally.
Sometimes we require assistance to switch back to places of ease, increased functionality and vitality.

I've had several decades of experience working with physical ailments, pain management & physical movement.
Finding comfort & increased functionality in our bodies makes a difference to how we are in the world, I think of it as 'coming home to our bodies'.

I've recovered from several serious injuries, including being told I'd be in a wheelchair by my mid 50's due to severe spine injuries. I continue to be in awe of the changes I've witnessed in myself and others during my Ortho-Bionomy journey. This includes much better sleep, being able to walk & exercise without pain, and an increased ability to bounce back from the unavoidable 'curve balls of life'. Several years ago I returned to dance classes. At 61 years old, (most of the time!) I feel freer, more in touch with my body and stronger than I did 30 years ago.
I'm committed to finding the most effective ways to facilitate physical healing, increased functionality and positive changes for other people's 'home' i.e. their bodies. At The Healing Switch you, your body and your unique timing in the healing process will be listened to and treated with care and respect.

"Is it supposed to be so relaxing?"
The answer to this frequently asked question is YES!
The body is being listened to and the nervous system is being settled. Plus it's relaxing when muscles & bones can relinquish unnecessary holding. The follow on affect is that the more the systems in the body relax and let go, the more likely healing can be accessed.

What people are saying
"From the first session with Fiona I found my pain subsided and I was able to reduce the medication I was taking...After only 3 sessions I went from taking daily painkillers and not being able to sleep or sit for long periods to being able to sleep through the night and sit down (and drive) without extreme pain. I would highly recommend Fiona!"

"I have major injuries from neck surgery and after seeing Fiona I had more energy and less pain. It is a very different mode of treatment but I really enjoyed it. I find remedial massage and Physiotherapy is too painful. I will definitely be returning". Sue W
