About Hinny
I am a Registered Cranio-Sacral Therapist (RCST), which means
I am a member of the Cranio-Sacral Therapy Association, and I graduated from the College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy in London in 2022.
I decided to train after experiencing for myself just how effective cranial treatment can be, for both physical and emotional issues, and I’m so happy to be able to help other people find healing in this way. I particularly love working with babies and children; it gives them a great foundation for a healthy future, so they can thrive, learn and have fun, and if the little one is happy then it’s good news for the whole family! I remember my time as a new mum as being both really wonderful and really hard, and I am always glad to help other mums in any way I can.
I would describe my approach to cranio-sacral therapy as humanist; in my work I don't refer to spirituality, only to the body and our lived experience of it.
I come from a family of scientists, and when I first started training I struggled sometimes with the fact that I couldn't explain exactly why this kind of therapy works. Over the years I have been practising, though, I have seen CST reliably provide relief from pain, anxiety, distress and exhaustion time and time again.
Through close family, I have lots of experience with Pathological Demand Avoidance. With everyone I work with, whether PDA or not, I take a low-demand approach, and try to give all clients as much autonomy as possible.
As well as cranial work, I also teach yoga. It took me a while to find out what my calling was, and along the way I also acquired a BMus in Folk and Traditional Music and an MA in Linguistics. When I'm not working, I love spending time with my family (husband, son and cat) and friends, making music, dancing, gardening, reading, whittling spoons, and heading out to the woods.
