A Holistic Approach to Understanding Your Health
I combine holistic assessment, bodywork, movement and lifestyle coaching to help you understand what may be contributing to your pain, low energy and poor wellbeing — and create a practical pathway forward.
The goal isn't to keep you dependent on treatment.
It's to help you understand your body, build healthier foundations and develop the tools to take greater ownership of your wellbeing.
ASSESS → TREAT → COACH → EMPOWER
I didn't just learn this from a textbook and my studies... I lived it.
My own journey through pain, trauma and recovery led me to study the approaches that helped change my life. Now I use that knowledge and experience to help others find their own pathway forward.
Ready to stop searching and start creating change?
Work with me...
Why Work With Me?
Because I've experienced what it's like to search for answers.
I've experienced what it's like to want someone else to fix the problem.
And I've experienced the shift that happens when the right practitioners don't just treat you — they teach you.
That's what I now want to pass forward.
My role isn't to promise to heal you.
My role is to help you understand what may be holding you back, help your body create the conditions for change, and give you the tools to take greater ownership of your health.
So instead of endlessly searching for the next therapist, treatment or answer, you can begin building something much more valuable:
the knowledge, confidence and daily practices to support yourself for life.
🔍 ASSESS — Understand what's contributing
🌿 TREAT — Support the body and nervous system
🧭 COACH — Create your pathway forward
💪 EMPOWER — Give you the tools for life
Stop chasing symptoms. Start understanding your health.
Carol Sternberg
I have been permanently in a wheelchair for the past eleven years. I had recently began experiencing pain deep in my left hip which got more painful until it was impacting my life, in that transferring from my wheelchair put me at risk of falling.
Having to hold onto anything I could, to take the weight off my hip was compromising my right shoulder which eventually succumbed to injury. I was forced into asking for assistance in transferring and adjusting my clothing in the bathroom. This was distressing for me.
Steve came to the house for the treatment.
We did the whole consult with me sitting in my wheelchair. Steve did his procedures and it was painless and a little astounding considering he didn’t once touch the hip area where the pain was. At the end of the session I stood up easily and completely pain free. This has changed my life both physically and emotionally and I am extremely appreciative. I have no hesitation in recommending Steve!

I've always been active in my lifestyle and have had a few sessions with Steve in the last few months. I had suffered lower back issues, and was so intrigued today to find out my issues start with my neck and the way I breathe, my tranverse abdominal muscles are completely switched off also.
His knowledge of the body is incredible. I've just got no words. Before my first session I was in incredible pain in the lower right back, and struggled to pull up my pants this morning, it was so bad, was cranky and irritable due to my stiffness and pain.... I actually cried out of sheer relief after one hour of body work as I was pain free.
"COULD NOT BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE."
He left me with a couple of basic "exercises" to retrain my breathing and strengthen core. I've got no words for the gratitude of the experience of this man and what he has done for me and am very grateful to have met him and to continue my maintenance program.

I can highly recommend Steve, it is rare to find a therapist that not only “holds space” for his clients - he adapts his techniques in real time - including changing the way we need to do our homework - working WITH us and what we have available. This results in less pressure, less stress, more understanding and therefore more improvements. I’m now changing my mindset around what is necessary to be healed.

I have met Steve, today for the first time and wasn't sure what to expect but I just wanted to see him as I was in a lot of pain. He is very professional and explained everything that he was doing. I'm happy to say that I'm pain free now.
It's not easy to find someone that helps you in so many different levels, but that's what he does. He also doesn't push you in getting continuous appointments. I highly recommend Steve to anyone.
Background
Over the past 15+ years, I've invested extensively in understanding the human body, movement, recovery and holistic wellbeing through professional training, clinical practice and lived experience.
Following a life-changing head and neck injury, years of chronic pain, and rebuilding my life from the ground up, I became deeply committed to understanding how the body, mind and lifestyle work together. That journey has shaped the way I work today and I still am on the way in my journey because it's not a destination, it's a daily practice.
I look beyond symptoms to help people understand the bigger picture and become active participants in their own wellbeing.
