I started treating clients nearly 30 years ago as a complementary health practitioner in 1994.
It all began with my mobile massage therapy business, working in day centres and workplaces to help people manage their back, head, neck, and shoulder aches work stress, anxiety and feel balanced and happy. Women's issues such as hormonal balance, fertility (men & women), pregnancy and labour preparation have always been central to my practice.
Treating people is my passion, and I love being part of their journey to better health and happiness. This passion is deeply rooted in my lifelong fascination with the relationship between the mind, emotions, and the body.
Since then, I continue to update and deepen my knowledge and skills. I started with holistic massage and aromatherapy, and finally, then I qualified as a Shiatsu practitioner and a licensed acupuncturist over 2 decades ago in early 2000s.
I continue to learn and develop my skills through Continuing Professional Development, mentoring, Fertility, Courses, reading, and research.
I have worked around Europe and in many different settings and am now expanding into South London.
As each person is a unique individual with their own internal imbalances, I incorporate a range of different therapies to suit each individual person; Acupuncture, Acupressure, Shiatsu, Cupping, Moxibustion &, gentle body realignment.
