Wellness Starts Within
My Story
Like everyone else, I have a tale to tell about how I came to be where I am today, but sometimes, I think the telling of the events in life are less important than the lessons learnt from our experiences.
Suffice to say I have encountered a fair few ups and downs along the road, and certainly a few curve balls thrown in for good measure too! Whilst hindsight will tell you that this is great for building character and resilience, I've learnt that the real power, accessible to each and every one of us, comes from within. It is finding this connection within our own self that allows us to access a centre of calm, peace and balance and to lead with these qualities as we move through the ebb and flow of life. Listening to that inner voice and call for change served me in ways I could have never dreamt possible.
After an extended period of time working in dance and fitness - teaching and performing in London's West End, I moved to the coast with my daughter for a slower, and more peaceful pace of life.
For me, the sea brings calm and tranquility in a world which can often feel full full of high stress and uncertainty. Learning how to ground and immerse myself in nature, not only assisted me through this transition in time, but it inspired me to understand the practice of Reiki, how to channel life force energy and how to incorporate this in to my daily lifestyle.
I was trained and attuned to level 1 (Shoden), level 2 (Okuden) and Master level (Shinpiden), and from there I continued to develop my training in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Sound Therapy, Yoga and Holistic Massage. Collectively these disciplines put me on a path of discovery, enlightenment and strengthened my connection to consciousness.
My aim is to assist you from a holistic approach during those 'swimming upstream' moments. I'm incredibly passionate about the work I do, and aim to provide my clients and students with a friendly, professional and authentic service.

Areas of Expertise
Having trained full time in dance and fitness nearly twenty years ago, anatomy and physiology is at the very foundation of my learning. Since then, I've continued to deepen my knowledge with Reiki, holistic massage, mindfulness based cognitive therapy, and other holistic practices, including yoga, pranayama breathing, sound therapy and meditation. These further disciplines have allowed me to better understand the functions of the mind and the energy system of the human body.
I take a very holistic approach to health and wellness, so to me, maintaining optimum health means taking care of the mind, body and spirit. I strongly believe that these three aspects of ourselves are all interconnected, thereby, if one of these areas is out of alignment, it can affect the others.
With this in mind, I wanted to ensure that I could provide a service to facilitate restoring balance wherever it's needed most.
I have learnt so much through supporting my large and loyal clientele over the years, and have returned to my teaching roots by frequently hosting classes and workshops in schools and colleges, and providing training for Reiki practitioners.
