I
am a qualified and experienced practitioner with a caring, intuitive approach. I respect
and honour each client's individuality. As a registered member of the UK
Reiki Federation and the Association of
Reflexologists, I work to the highest ethical
standards and a professional code of practice. All client
consultations and treatments are completely confidential.
I work mostly at home in the Somerset market town of Frome, in a warm and
peaceful treatment room. I am a member of
Frome Healthy Living which is a local association of fully qualified
practitioners in the Frome area. I also offer treatments on Thursdays at the Manu Centre in Bradford-on-Avon,
Wiltshire, which is a wonderful space used only for healing and well-being
purposes. Some of my workshops are also held here.
My
interest and experience in hands-on healing and energy work began while working in remote parts
of Africa and Asia. On returning to England I qualified in
Indian Head
Massage and then undertook four years of Reiki
training which has become an ongoing developmental practice. Since also qualifying as a reflexologist I have
discovered the amazing potential of the feet as a pathway to the whole body,
indeed the whole person. It now seems very natural to me that I was inspired to develop the
special combined treatment known as Reiki-Reflex.
Since 2009 I am also qualified to use a range of aromatherapy oils on the feet.
I have now developed the Aroma-Reflex treatment, which is the luxurious
combination of a full reflexology session with aromatherapy massage of the feet
and lower legs.
In 2007 I trained to become a Certified LifeSkills Consultant in order to help
clients manage their stress and learn simple relaxation techniques (see LifeSkills
section) including breath work and visualisation. This is a natural extension to my therapy work and can be combined
with Reiki or other therapies if required.
I am a qualified Reiki Master Teacher offering Reiki courses to
individuals, couples and small groups. For more information please see the Workshops
section or my separate website www.reiki-course.co.uk.
I also offer other personal growth workshops from time to time, for instance
working with the Chakras (energy centres), Creative Visualisation or Relaxation
Skills. Since 2005 I have also taught occasional introductory Reflexology workshops. If you are
interested in learning more about the benefits of reflexology and some
techniques to help yourself, your family and friends, then this workshop is for
you! Please see the Workshops
section for forthcoming dates and venues or contact me to enquire.
In 2009 I undertook training
in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and I am now able to offer
this amazing transformative therapy to my clients. Just a few sessions of EFT
can help to shift old emotional patterns and physical symptoms on a permanent
basis. If you have an issue which has not responded to other therapies, this is
definitely worth a try!
I am passionate about the therapies I practise, their potential for healing and their power to
transform. In fact, I love my work! I very much look forward
to welcoming you for your next treatment. You
