My journey to holistic treatments
Having been diagnosed with Perthes disease in my hip, aged six, I spent a lot of time in hospitals and knew from a very young age that I wanted to help people with their health. I developed a special interest in how the body works from that point onwards, analysing what all the different health professionals did and observing how the conventional medical model uses highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable people to treat a particular illness or dis-ease rather than the body as a whole. Making sure that I treat the ‘whole person’ probably stems from my frustrations of being passed from one specialist to another without the consideration of others’ views, application of methods and how they affect other parts of the body.
I went on to study human biosciences, human biology, and medical laboratory sciences at university, both here and abroad, and have been a teacher of biology for over 20 years. I have also taught psychology, chemistry & physics and love igniting the passion of health and wellbeing in the next generation; passing on knowledge about anatomy and physiology; discussing emotional wellbeing and mental health; and investigating the link between energy, spirituality and wellness.
I opened my treatment room in 2015, a peaceful and calm sanctuary that you can retreat to from the everyday stresses of life. I am proud to offer my clients bespoke treatments that include Clinical Duopody Reflexology, Facial Reflexology, Reiki, Indian Head Massage and Belief Coding, through the medium of Welsh and English. I have a particular passion for women’s health, including fertility, conception, and peri/menopausal issues, pain, and stress and anxiety. I have first-hand experience of the benefits of maternity reflexology having suffered miscarriages and obstetric cholestasis during pregnancy, and as pain relief and postural correction after numerous hip and knee operations.
I always strive to achieve the best results for my clients and have trained to the highest possible standards whilst continuing to develop my skills and knowledge with regular CPD training. My treatments are tailored to your needs, so that they bring the maximum benefit to your life – treating your specific symptoms, relieving you of your pain, taking away the discomfort, balancing your hormones, calming your nervous system, and helping you to relax, de-stress and switch off. There is no ‘one size fits all’ as we’re all different, and so we require a different approach to every treatment received. Your needs will be met with an authentic, specialised treatment for your individual, authentic self.
