I have been a practising therapist for over 14 years. I started my journey as an Alternative Health Therapist in 1994, when I began training as an Aroma-therapist and Massage Therapist. Over the years I have studied a variety of other therapies with many different teachers and schools. Whilst all of these therapies provide a very valid and useful treatment, I soon discovered that in order to truly recover from a condition, an individual’s Nutritional status must be addressed. As a result I went on to study Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy. I continue to update my skills by regularly attending Continual Professional development courses in all of my modalities. I enhanced my knowledge considerably by working with and helping to administer a charity concerned with providing Nutritional therapies to Cancer patients. (The Nutritional Cancer Therapy Trust). Although this was difficult work it demonstrated the power of Nutritional therapy and other Alternative therapies in restoring a person’s health. I have also worked in Spain with Detox-International (as featured in series 1 of Spa of Embarrassing Illnesses), which also gave me great insight into the power of Natural Therapies. During this time I also began another journey concerned with my own spiritual development. Over the years this has had an influence on my work and I always try and consider all aspects of a person. This also led me into teaching others in the art of meditation and energy work. With my unique combination of therapies, skill and experience I endeavour to provide the best possible treatment for an individual I am a full member of the following professional organisations: FNTP – Federation of Nutritional Therapy Practitioners Qualifications: Nutritional Medicine (Plaskett College 2003) Aromatherapy (IEB / Norwich school 1995) Reflexology (IEB / Norwich school 1996) Bach Flower Remedies Level 3 (1997) Light Body Teacher (2001)

Massage Therapy
Massage can help to release chronic muscular tension and pain, relax and tone the muscles, improve circulation, improve lymph flow, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture and reduce blood pressure. Massage is also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being. Massage is the quickest, surest way to create a sense of relaxation and well-being. It is comforting, soothing, reassuring and makes us feel happy. A regular massage will maintain vitality, promote healing and keep muscular tension at bay. We offer several styles of massage; Aromatherapy, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Indian Head, Pregnancy, and Swedish.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a therapeutic method of improving health by stimulating predefined pressure points on the feet and hands. This controlled pressure alleviates the source of the discomfort. In the absence of any particular illness or abnormality, reflexology may be as effective for promoting good health and for preventing illness as it may be for relieving symptoms of stress, injury, and illness.
Reflexologists work from maps of predefined pressure points that are located on the hands and feet. These pressure points are reputed to connect directly through the nervous system and affect the bodily organs and glands. The reflexologist manipulates the pressure points according to specific techniques of reflexology therapy. By means of this touching therapy, any part of the body that is the source of pain, illness, or potential debility can be strengthened through the application of pressure at the respective foot or hand location.
I offer various forms of Reflexology practice, including: Classic Foot and Hand Reflexology, Vertical Reflex Therapy (VRT), Nerve Reflexology and Maternity Reflexology.
Nutritional Therapy
The foods that we consume play more of a role in our health than perhaps anything else. The saying, “you are what you eat”, is very true and good nutrition leads to a healthy body and a sound mind.
Nutrition is the science that establishes the relationship between a person’s diet and their levels of health. As a fully qualified nutritional therapist I can advise you on dietary and nutrition matters relating to your health. Following a good diet can have an incredible effect on your quality of life and hence Nutrition is one of the most important things to consider in your life.
After all it is not the number of years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.
Within this therapy I offer the following: Nutritional Therapy, Dietary Advice, Iridology, Detoxification Programmes, Healthy Eating Workshops, and Individual Coaching .
