PhD, educator, physio, yoga teacher
My particular interest is persistent pain and dysfunction, in particular related to the pelvis, back, abdomen and hips, endometriosis, as well as physical and emotional wellbeing. I strive to provide health services from an inclusive, wholistic, environmentally sustainable and social perspective. I have a broad range of experience, having worked in Sweden, Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates, in clinics and universities, with editing work and humanitarian development. I set up Sweden’s first pelvic pain centre in Linköping, Sweden. I love learning and teaching, and engage in continuous learning and professional development, through teaching and participating in courses, taking a critically reflective approach in my clinical work.

I am HCPC registered and a member of the CSP and the Yoga Alliance.
