I have used holistic therapies personally and professionally for many years and strongly believe that they provide us with an essential tool to use in creating a harmony in our lives.
I gained my first VTCT diploma in Swedish Massage in 2008 at Fareham College, which covered Anatomy & Physiology. I have since gone on to study many modes of holistic therapy to include Reflexology and Reiki. I have a continued program of study to add new complementary treatments.
I have been involved with the Gosport & Fareham MS Society Pamper days for the last two years, where I have provided a taster session of manicure treatments. I have also been involved with Leigh Park Community Centre Carers week, where I was invited along to offer Reiki Taster treatments. My eldest client has been100 years old and I also offer treatments to clients with disabilities.
My interest in complentary and holistic therapies came when I had become acutely aware of the need for balance in life. I understand what it feels like to end up collapsed in a heap on the sofa with a cup of tea, half an hour before bed time wondering where on earth the day has disappeared to. I tried homeopathic remedies throughout my pregnancies, sought osteopathic and massage treatments after a serious car accident, and reiki to help me through an emotionally turbulent year. One of my children suffers with ADHD, (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and a big life adjustment was needed to cope with their mood swings and temperament as they grew older. Massage and reiki has benefited us both. I have learnt how to balance the hectic part of my life with a healthier holistic approach.
Nearly everyone can benefit from Holistic and Complementary therapies regardless of mobility, age or gender. In the East many people have acupuncture, herbal remedies, practice Tai Chi to promote good health. In the Western World It is too easy to reach for a bottle of pills when something goes wrong. By educating others about the importance of holistic therapies and the effects that they have on the body and mind, will help improve their fitness and stress factors and hopefully make a difference in their lives I’m extremely passionate about working with people and sharing the benefits of holistic therapies and strive to offer the highest standard of service at all times.
