My journey into complementary therapy began in the nineties, having always had a keen interest and natural desire to help others – but not really knowing how, as life had started out on a more conventional path.
I started my training with an ITEC massage course and was hooked, going onto study, aromatherapy and Indian head massage. I had always worked intuitively, and believed in the simple healing power of touch.
I was lucky enough to have a tutor who had trained directly under Dr John Upledger – (founder of Cranioscaral Therapy) who suggested I work and train with her. Here I found my true vocation.
My training in Craniosacral Therapy took me on a journey of self discovery. Having treatments myself throughout my training made me realise the huge impact this gentle but deeply holistic therapy can have. It helped me on so many levels both physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Having experienced and seen the profound changes these therapies can bring, has made me determined to help others by bringing together these powerful hands on healing therapies. I have since gone on to study Myofascial Release Therapy and practice Qigong in my daily life.
I have had the privilege to work with numerous clients both in private practice and hospital’s each who have taught me so much about the human body, mind and spirit, I feel immensely grateful to them and the teachers I have met along the way.
QiGong (a self care practice)
Qigong improves your mental and physical health by integrating posture, movement, breathing techniques, self-massage and sound through a simple mind-body-spirit practice.
“Sometimes we learn the lessons we most desperately need in the form of illness.” – Larry Dossey
I found Qigong after a sustained period of illness and for me it is the missing link.
I realised that daily Qigong practice didn’t just help me emotionally but has had huge benefits to my physical health and would for that of my clients, suffering from chronic pain, fatigue and stress.
I have since gone on to study with Nick Loffree and have undertaken his teacher training programme. I am passionate about sharing this gentle but incredibly powerful ancient system of integrative health care and energy medicine.
