After a very stressful pregnancy and the birth of my first daughter in 2014 I started looking into various self help methods and began studying to become a Counsellor. After completing levels 2 & 3 I decided to take a break in 2017 as by then I had a 2nd daughter and wanted to focus on my family, before returning to complete the 2 years of level 4.
Life had other plans.
I discovered I had Breast Cancer in early 2018 and all thoughts of study were replaced with surviving. Treatment was incredibly painful and I was very fortunate that a charity gifted me reflexology sessions to coincide with my Chemotherapy. The difference it made to the pain and the ability to sleep couldn’t be measured. When I finished my treatments, I spent a month in a hospital in India where I underwent an extreme full body detox to help purge my body. So began another path, this time looking at how the body speaks the mind! Later that year now 2019 I made the very difficult decision to leave my marriage, wanting to dedicate myself to my daughters by being true to them and myself.
During Lockdown
I was unable to work through COVID due to my immune system still being compromised and during this time I was researching how to help my youngest who is averse to touch and has since been diagnosed autistic. Research suggested firm massage and I remembered the Reflexology and how it had helped me. As soon as the world reopened, I made sure I was on the first course available.
Finally found my passion
I believe with all the knowledge and research we have available to us, everyone should be able to live their life in physical comfort. My dream is to offer a clinic to help those suffering with chronic long term difficulties and the side effects that come with them. The human body & mind fascinate me and I know I have just started my love affair with learning. I am able to offer a unique environment that is safe from judgement, a calming and confidential space with a variety of treatments enabling me to tailor my treatments for each clients individual needs.
