Holistic Healing Through Advanced Nerve Reflexology and Adhesion release
Expert care for chronic pain, trauma relief and wellbeing
Body Balance Studio - Somerset WEST - CAPE TOWN
Revolutionising being healthy holistically
Restoring Function. Releasing Pain. Reviving Potential.
At the heart of true healthcare is more than just treating symptoms — it's about caring for the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.
With over 20 years of experience and research, I’ve developed a unique, results-driven approach that combines Classical and Advanced Nerve Reflexology with a powerful understanding of the body’s self-healing mechanisms. My focus? Helping your body reset, revive, and restore neurological function naturally.
Fascia — the connective tissue that weaves through every part of the body — holds the key to lasting recovery. When adhesions form, they can restrict movement, compress nerves, and contribute to chronic pain and dysfunction.
I specialise in Adhesion Release Therapy, using a combination of advanced tools and techniques to free the body from these restrictions and restore optimal function.
What Makes My Approach Different?
I have walked (crawled) the road back to healing physically and emotionally myself and understand the body and the frustration of chronic pain and loss.
I combine hands-on expertise with cutting-edge healing modalities, including:
Shockwave Therapy — a game-changer in non-invasive tissue regeneration
Manual Adhesion Release
Advanced Nerve Reflexology
Cupping Therapy
Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Deep Tissue Massage
Assisted Stretching
These therapies work in synergy to improve circulation, relieve pain, release restrictions, and reawaken the body’s own healing intelligence.
Many of my clients come to me after trying years of conventional therapy with little relief. Through a personalised, fascia-focused approach, we uncover the real source of the issue and start true healing — from the inside out.
My Healing Journey
My healing journey began in 2006.
At the time, I was an international airline pilot flying the Airbus A340 for South African Airways. Everything changed when a neurosurgeon insisted on performing an urgent — and ultimately unnecessary — spinal operation. That surgery not only ended my career in aviation, but it also left me in a wheelchair, forced to relearn how to walk again.
I was diagnosed with Syringomyelia, a rare neurological condition, and told I would likely be back in a wheelchair within five years. The prognosis offered little hope — chronic pain, limited mobility, and a diminishing quality of life.
But I refused to accept that fate.
When no other treatment showed promise, Reflexology got me out of the wheelchair. That moment sparked a deep curiosity and a new calling: to explore the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Over the past 20 years, I’ve dedicated my life to researching physical and neurological methods to activate the body’s self-healing mechanisms — beyond what conventional medicine could offer.
Modern medicine failed me, but I proved the prognosis wrong. Today, I am living proof that the human mind is stronger than any diagnosis, and that trauma can be reversed — without lifelong medication. Not even a diagnosis "a walking ticking time-bomb in my spine" (actual words by a physio regarding my prognosis) would define my future. Today I can walk on the beach with my kids and have very little pain and is functional and fit and in good health beyond expectations.
This journey gave me a new mission: to help others heal when all other avenues have failed.
Because the truth is, investing in your health today will determine your mobility, vitality, and quality of life 20 years from now.
I am so proud of how far I have come and passionate about my practice and sharing my wisdom on not only healing - but also the journey of getting back up after your world crumbled.
Your body does have the ability to self heal ... sometimes it just needs a little bit of help!
See you in the studio soon!

When the body experience physical trauma, the nervous system responds by sending extra collagen to that area to help heal and protect. When the threat is over technically it should release however it does not and over the years becomes more compact and restrictive forming ADHESIONS which in turn traps nerves and restricts blood flow and circulation and causing referred chronic pain.
ADHESION RELEASE not only unrestrict the fascia and release trapped nerves - like uncorrupting a memory card - it clears the body from what no longer serve you. The benefits are endless!
Adhesion Release

Chronic Pain management
Adhesions, which are abnormal attachments within the fascia (connective tissue surrounding muscles), can restrict movement trap nerves and cause pain.
Releasing these adhesions through various techniques can restore flexibility, reduce pain, and improve overall movement.

Adhesions, which are abnormal attachments within the fascia (connective tissue surrounding muscles), can restrict movement trap nerves and cause pain.
Releasing these adhesions through various techniques can restore flexibility, reduce pain, and improve overall movement.
What are Fascial Adhesions?
- Fascia, a network of connective tissue, normally allows for smooth movement between muscle layers.
- Adhesions occur when these layers stick together due to injury, inflammation, or repetitive strain, restricting movement and causing pain.
- Adhesions can distort movement patterns, decrease range of motion, and even slow down the body's sensory feedback system.
Finding and releasing adhesions is a skill that not only release chronic pain but also opens up the connective tissue and improve circulation and blood flow.

Our bodies holds on to physical and emotional traumas throughout life by means of adhesions in the Fascia. Trauma is never just emotional or physical. They affect us simultaneously. If you understand how the body/nervous system and the mind is connected in trauma you can make the connections, rewire release and heal on all levels.

This process can help restore the body's natural balance and promote healing from trauma.

Cellulite Reduction and Sculpting
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to target cellulite, particularly on the thighs and buttocks. It works by stimulating blood flow, promoting collagen production, and potentially breaking down the fibrous bands (fascia) that contribute to the dimpled appearance of cellulite. This can lead to smoother, firmer skin and improved overall appearance.

A game-changer in non-invasive tissue regeneration! I specialised in MANUAL ADHESION RELEASE with amazing result for chronic pain relief. The next step was to introduce International technology in assisting with not only the pain aspect but also speeding up the release and healing time and process. The shockwave device takes my treatment to a whole different level and is instrumental in multiple treatments. Although I will mainly use it for adhesion release (which is 95% of the time responsible for chronic pain) it has many other benefits.
Shockwave is a procedure where sound waves of energy are passed through the skin to the injured part of the body using a special device. The shockwaves are mechanical and not electric and work by increasing blood flow to the injured area as well as assist in breaking up a buildup of adhesions in the tissue. This accelerates the body's healing process.

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized massage technique that aims to encourage the natural drainage of lymph, which helps remove waste and toxins from the body. It's not a deep tissue massage; instead, it involves light, rhythmic, and circular skin stretching to stimulate the lymphatic system. This technique is particularly helpful for reducing swelling (lymphedema) and promoting overall well-being by improving fluid circulation.
Lymph session can be full body or area specific.
Cupping

Manual cupping, also known as dry cupping, is a technique where cups are applied to the skin and suctioned to create a vacuum. This technique is used to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and promote blood flow. Cupping can also be used to help with a variety of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and even anxiety. Benefits of Manual Cupping:
- Pain Relief
- Improved Blood Circulation
- Muscle Relaxation
- Reduced Inflammation
- Stress and Anxiety Relief
- Immune System Support
- Increase blood flow
- Loosen tight muscles and release adhesions
- Stimulate the nervous system
Important Considerations:While cupping is generally considered safe, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before trying it, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. Cupping can leave temporary marks on the skin, which are usually circular and may be red, purple, or bluish in color. These marks are not bruises and typically fade within a few days to a couple of weeks.
