Christine has worked in health-care for more than 20 years. Her journey began with the study and practice of the energetic healing system of the east, specifically the Sanskrit chakra system. Through this doorway, her healing work was further developed and refined by the western energetic model as taught by Barbara Brennan. Further training in Eugene Gendlin's 'Focusing' process brought her to a deeper understanding of the feeling states or 'felt sense' within the body in order to locate and work with physiological and psychological ill-health.

Various body-work and massage courses later, she was led to the internationally acclaimed Karuna Institute where she graduated in Craniosacral Therapy in 2000. Interwoven in this course was trauma resolution, pioneered by Peter Levine. She used cranial work especially with babies and mothers and those suffering from chronic pain, and still does, to this day.

In order to deepen her understanding of Levine's work, she undertook a formal training in Somatic Experiencing (SE) which has now become her main passion.

She worked for 12 months in a Harley St. neurological clinic using SE and Craniosacral work with people suffering with complex neurological conditions. Most people came to the clinic feeling left by the road-side by a modern medical system that couldn't serve them or understand and deal with their immense suffering. Most came with unresolved traumas. She acquired tremendous insights into how unresolved stress and trauma can affect the body and mind and that when trauma energy is safely discharged and the nervous system reorganizes itself, a lessening of symptoms, even in complex and chronic neurological disorders, can occur.

Christine was recently invited to join New Medicine Group. She immediately felt the integrative approach of all the practitioners here both creative and inspiring. The supportive approach is nourishing for practitioners and patients alike. She can get and give advice where appropriate and is delighted by the cutting-edge knowledge and treatment of complex and varied conditions. Regular meetings means continued and deepening connections between the team and ensures that patients receive the best and most appropriate care from the most suitable practitioners. She believes the therapeutic relationship is fundamental in the healing process of the patient and she is rigorous in upholding this within the group. She believes that the body, the nervous system, the person, is essentially programmed to heal and become whole provided the environment is right. She sees NMG as a holding space and such an environment, and understands that this will need constant and mindful tending to ensure it remains a nurturing environment for good health-care practice.

She is currently specialising in trauma work with sexually abused people, especially women, and those suffering with chronic pain.

Christine works in two practices in Bath, as well as Harley Street, and is currently setting up a trauma clinic in Bath Centre alongside her partner, also a trauma therapist. They share a cottage in the heart of the country, growing their own food, surrounded by chickens, donkeys, a faithful dog, and a variety of musical instruments and children. They have recently acquired a hive for bees. She believes that cherishing their relationship and enjoying their lives together in their beautiful environment are essential components in being an effective and heart-centred trauma therapist, dealing with such widespread and immense suffering.

She is dedicated to her continued deepening self development and her involvement in the SE UK community and will be an assistant trainer in the forth-coming three-year trauma training.
