I joined this marvellous industry back in 2004 when I started my training in Swedish massage. At first I was doing it as my 'back up' career as I wanted to be an actor. But before I knew it, I'd fallen in love with holistic therapy and well-being and now it has been my full time career for almost twenty years! After catching 'the bug', I trained in Indian head massage, reflexology, facials, reiki, deep tissue, hot stone and lymphatic drainage massage. The list goes on! I keep adding new qualifications to my extensive repertoire every year as I think its important not to become stagnant and to keep learning. As the old adage goes, "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!" And there's nothing more powerful than complementary medicine. As well as teaching, I currently run my own mobile therapy business and it makes me feel old that I've been treating some of my clients for over fifteen years. I love nothing more than seeing the joy on a client's face after every single treatment. I can't wait to see you on a course in the future. I just love passing on my knowledge and passion to the therapists of the future!

I am very passionate about teaching and sharing the transformative power of massage and bodywork. I have been a complementary therapist for over 2o years and my journey has taken me from working in 5-star spas and exclusive hotels to running my own private therapy clinic and providing mobile therapy to private clients. I practice a variety of body and face treatments including advance deep tissue and myofascial release, pregnancy massage, hot stones, dynamic stretching, craniosacral therapy and I am always learning (this is the beauty of it!). This diverse experience allows me to bring real-world insights and practical knowledge to my teaching. I enjoy being with nature and practicing Tai Chi , which helps me stay balanced and calm. I am looking forward to working together to achieve your goals and make a difference in the world through the power of touch.
