I am the founder and owner of Birdsong Yoga Physio, a new company that offers physiotherapy and yoga online and in person for people with illnesses such as advanced cancer, MND, pulmonary fibrosis and many others.  I am a physiotherapist with over 12 years working in hospices in Scotland, with people at all stages of palliative illnesses.  More recently I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training wiht Meadowlark Yoga Studio 

I understand how important movement, physical activity, breathing work and relaxation are for people with palliative illnesses, and throughout my physio career in hospices, people told me how much they wanted to keep active and stay as strong as they could, but often they didn’t know where to go or how to begin. 

Birdsong Yoga Physio provides that safe place to begin; working one to one or in small groups  to reconnect and understand your body and your breath, as it is now, taking into account symptoms; side effects of treatments or operations; emotions and body image.

I recently moved to the country and am in constant awe and wonder at the birdsong in the woods beside my house. This new connection with the sounds of nature provides moments of peace and calm in an otherwise busy life!
