My Journey into Holistic Therapies
My love for aromatherapy began with the wonderful scents of essential oils and their incredible therapeutic properties. But it was a life-changing trip around the world that truly opened my mind to the power of nature and its healing potential. I became eager to learn more.
However, life took a busy turn with the arrival of my first son while traveling in South America—followed two years later by twins! With three little ones to care for, there wasn’t much time for studying. But motherhood also sparked a deeper awareness. I discovered that so many skincare products—even those designed for delicate baby skin—contain harsh chemicals. This realization fueled my passion for exploring natural alternatives and deepened my commitment to complementary therapies.
My Qualifications & Training
Once all my boys were in full-time school, I pursued my passion and earned a Level 3 Diploma in Complementary Therapies. This intensive training covered anatomy and physiology, Swedish massage, aromatherapy, and reflexology.
I then expanded my expertise with a Level 3 Diploma in Indian Head Massage and additional qualifications in Holistic Facials.
Furthering my skills, I obtained certification in Oncology Reflexology and Massage Therapies through the wonderful Butterfly Touch Training (www.butterflytouchtherapies.com).
One of the most exciting additions to my practice has been becoming a practitioner of Functional Reflex Therapy (FRT) (www.functionalreflextherapy.co.uk). This therapy is designed to support the mental health and well-being of children and adults, particularly those experiencing high levels of anxiety and stress, as well as individuals with autism, neurological disorders, intellectual difficulties, and communication challenges. More details about this therapy will be available on my website soon.
Continued Learning & Commitment to Well-being
I am constantly reading, learning, and attending workshops to stay up to date with the latest in complementary therapy. My goal is to offer the highest quality treatments, tailored to your individual needs.
As a consultant for Neal’s Yard Organics, I also incorporate high-quality, natural products where appropriate to enhance your therapy experience.
I am proud to be a member of:
✔ FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapies)
✔ AOR (Association of Reflexology)
These memberships ensure I adhere to strict professional guidelines and ethical practices.
