My Story
Sound therapy, reflexology and meditation helped me during a difficult period in my life when I was ill, anxious and in pain. I learnt how to relax and felt the benefits physically, mentally and emotionally. This personal experience underpins my passion as a holistic therapist to share these valuable techniques with others. These techniques helped me in a positive way and they still do, they are a part of my daily life and routine. I know from my own experience that the introduction of relaxation, meditation and mindfulness activities has the potiental of helping everyone improve their well-being and health.
I have many years of experience working as a holistic therapist within the NHS, social services, charitable organisations, commercial corporations and with individual families.
My approach has been very successful in meeting the needs of a wide range of clients including those with stress-related illnesses, cancer and learning disabilities, to name a few. My specific interest is in working with both children and adults with special needs and complex learning disabilities, and those living with dementia. I find this work incredibly rewarding.
