Areas of Interest

Natia uses both structural and cranial approaches to treat patients of all ages from babies to the elderly. She aims to gain a deep understanding of the patient's lifestyle as well as the nature of the symptoms. In this way she can help people not only through treatment, but by also giving advice on day to day activities, exercises and stretches. Her training in clinical pilates has reinforced her abilities to help patients regain their strength and core stability in order to get back to their daily life.
