About Kirsty
Connection. Depth. Presence.
My work is about cultivating a deeper presence with self — reconnecting the parts that feel disconnected through energetics and a return to the body. I create the conditions for your system to find its own sense of safety, so you can meet your body’s natural wisdom, your energetic field, and your place within the wider rhythms of life.
My Approach
I hold a grounded space shaped by fifteen years in the wellbeing field. This includes years of listening closely to the energy of a room as a yoga teacher, and thousands of hours witnessing how the body expresses emotion, energy, and form through Spinal Energetics.
What I bring is a cohesion of clinical skill, accumulated wisdom, and somatic embodiment — a seasoned presence that can read the subtle language of your body and field. I guide you back into your own system rather than imposing anything from the outside. The body is given room to speak, and there is a quiet, sacred listening.
There is something I have come to trust deeply: when I sense something moving in you, it is often because I already know that energy within myself. Not the same story, but the same underlying current. This recognition allows me to meet you with intention and compassion, while always returning you to your own knowing.
This includes the capacity to work with earlier experiences still held in the body. I do not assume what is true for you. I invite a return to what is already true within you, and an opening to what remains unprocessed in the body and field.
Qualifications & Modalities
I am a Senior Spinal Energetics Practitioner (Level 1 & 2), Biodynamic Craniosacral Practitioner, and Yoga Teacher, with a Bachelor of Health Promotion. At the heart of my practice is Spinal Energetics — working with the spine, nervous system, fascia, and energetic field so that stored tension and old patterns can unwind and the system can return to its natural rhythm.
My approach also draws on modalities and practices: Reiki (since 2017), meditation, pranayama, aromatherapy, intuitive healing and inner child energy connection.
