The Healing Switch
Gentle hands on therapeutic bodywork facilitating positive changes to injuries, stress & pain. 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 switching back to places of ease, increased functionality and vitality.

I've had several decades of experience working with physical ailments, pain management & movement. Finding comfort 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 and continue to be in awe of changes I've witnessed in myself and others during my Ortho-Bionomy journey.
Services
For decades I've had an on-going curiosity and fascination with how people might access physical ease and grace. I believe being as comfortable as possible in our bodies makes a significant difference to how we are in the world. Physical ease hasn't always been a breeze for me. I've sustained serious injuries including 3 herniated vertebrae discs, severely degenerated vertebral discs, spinal arthritis and rotator cuff injuries.
Developed by Dr Arthur Lincoln Pauls, a British osteopath and black belt Judo Instructor, Ortho-Bionomy supports the self-correcting capacity of the person through the use of gentle movement and positioning of the body as well as light compression into the joints. Ortho-Bionomy stimulates long-lasting changes by re-educating the client's body so that it can effectively maintain balance and optimal functioning on its own.
Shoulder injuries can interrupt sleep, limit our everyday activities, get on our nerves & wear us down. Impingement in the shoulder can also cause headaches and lead to more serious issues such as frozen shoulder, bursitis or rotator cuff injury. Sleepless nights and pain can sometimes be alarming.
Having experienced chronic back ache and interrupted sleep, receiving treatments from Fiona provided me with the most restful night in months. I won't hesitate to go back to her should I find myself experiencing back pain again. Fiona was able to offer valuable support and the rationale for adopting different behaviors, which has enabled me to maintain and manage my back independently.

Fiona is very kind, gentle, empathetic and knowledgeable. During the session she is so gentle you might think things aren't happening, but then you experience serious shifts in pain reduction and wellbeing. Thoroughly recommend

Lovely gentle movements to get you moving. I'll be shaking all over in the mornings to wake up and start my day.

Fiona's gentle movement class left me feeling both relaxed and invigorated. This is a great way to move the body without straining. And it’s fun!

I found orthobionomy such a refreshingly gentle and caring way to address my posture and pain issue in my hip. It’s exactly the opposite of the ‘no pain no gain’ philosophy often espoused by other styles of treatment. Fiona is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. If you have aches, pains or just need a way to de-stress and revive your energy, book a treatment with Fiona.

I've really liked working with Fiona. She has a strong knowledge of not only anatomy and physiology, but also Orthobionomy. I have an ongoing issue which occurs every so often and causes a lot of pain in my left side. I go get a 'top up' from Fiona and I'm right again for a while. With this issue, it is taking a while to be completely better.
I had tried so many different therapies before; massage, chiro, osteopath, Bowen, and when I found Orthobionomy - more than 20 yrs ago with a different practitioner, I haven't looked back. I'm very happy to have found a good practitioner in Fiona. The exercises

I met Fiona the night before I started getting terrible knee pains on top of my existing headaches and arm pains due to a horribly done root canal. No amount of pain killers did what she managed in a one hour session. A few days on and I still feel the benefits of my session with her! Amazing!

Very gentle but powerful treatment. Still feeling the positive effects of increased mobility and openness a number of days after the treatment. I would recommend Fiona to anyone with muscular or postural issues or complaints. Thank you!

Feel so relaxed when Fiona is done!
Fiona's knowledge of muscles and anatomy is strong, and she understands posture and how to correct it.
For example, certain core/stabilising muscles should activate during certain motions to prevent pain and promote posture. Fiona knows this well, and has techniques for activating the right muscles and disengaging the muscles that should be relaxed. She also suggests exercises for self-care: gentle exercises that promote joint movement and awareness.
I've tried physiotherapy before, and had muscles needled to 'reset' them and get them to release... Fiona has
