Who this practice is for.

Senior and curious manual practitioners

You have years of clinical experience — a library of training, a caseload you know well, and cases that no single framework fully accounts for. You have learned when tissue reads differently from the history. You have watched presentations improve along one axis while resisting along another. You have developed instincts you can act on but sometimes cannot fully articulate.

What I can offer is a peer read. Not a second opinion in the medical sense — a structured discussion of the presentation from a different angle: the enactive and biodynamic frame I work from, the observational orientation I bring, and twenty-three years of clinical experience that includes a specific focus on nervous-system complexity. I will tell you what the case suggests from my frame, where my reading agrees with yours and where it doesn't, and what I would investigate or refer — along with why.

A Consultation session works for a specific case or question. A Mentoring relationship works for the kind of development that sustains over time: not a course, not a certification, but a regular intellectual relationship that holds the complexity of your work across months.

Somatic and trauma-aware therapists

You work in somatic experiencing, sensorimotor psychotherapy, NARM, IFS, or adjacent body-oriented modalities. You have a sophisticated framework for the nervous system and for trauma-held patterns. You may have limited formal training in hands-on clinical assessment, but you work alongside practitioners who do — and you want to understand what they are reading through touch.

Or you are navigating a referral decision. A client whose body presentation concerns you; you want a practitioner's read on whether hands-on assessment is warranted, what kind, and with what expectations.

I work from an enactive frame — drawing on Thomson, Esteves, and Sposato on active inference in manual therapy — that maps usefully onto the nervous-system orientation you already have. I do not translate either language down to the other: I speak somatic-experiential and hands-on clinical as distinct registers that can be in genuine conversation. A Consultation session can serve as a referral conversation, a specific case discussion, or an intellectual exchange about where manual assessment and somatic therapy intersect and diverge.

Researchers and educators

You are a PhD candidate, a journal reviewer, a course designer, or faculty at an osteopathic or somatic training programme. You are working with clinical material — developing curriculum, designing assessment approaches, interpreting research at the boundary of manual therapy and pain science — and you want a practitioner who has spent time in both the clinical room and the academic frame.

I am completing a Master's in pain science and person-centred care at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Helsinki. My research engages predictive processing, active inference, and evidence-informed practice in manual therapy. I taught for five years at CEESO Paris, served as president of the Académie d'Ostéopathie de France, and have been in continuous clinical practice for twenty-three years.

A single Consultation session may serve for a bounded question or a specific case. A deeper engagement — curriculum review, protocol development, research interpretation — begins with a written scope and proceeds from there.

Programmes and clinics

You run a midwifery practice, a perinatal or trauma-informed clinic, an osteopathic school, or a group practice that is developing its clinical frameworks. You need more than a recommendation — something your team can use: a protocol, a training framework, a curriculum module, an assessment approach.

Engagements of this kind begin with a discovery conversation at no fee. From that conversation, I produce a written scope: what the engagement will produce, what the timeline is, and what the fee will be. No fee is committed before scope is agreed. The engagement produces a durable artefact — the kind of document or framework your practice can use after the engagement ends.

I do not offer free advisory time or open-ended advisory relationships for organisational clients. A structured engagement is the right form for this kind of work, and the structure is what makes the deliverable reliable.

What I will not take on

I will be direct about what does not fit this practice.

CPD credits and credentials. I do not issue certificates, CPD credits, or credentials of any kind. If a piece of paper is the primary goal, this is not the place.

Formal clinical supervision with registration obligations. If you need clinical supervision that carries formal obligations to a regulatory body — where I would carry responsibility for your licence in good standing — that is a different kind of engagement than I offer here.

Framework shopping. The offer is collaborative thinking through complexity, not a proprietary method that explains everything you have been unable to explain. If you are looking for a new single model, this engagement will disappoint.

If you are unsure whether your situation fits, a single Consultation session is the straightforward first step. Book directly, bring the question, and we can clarify the scope in the session.
