About me

I have always had a keen interest in health. From a young age I was keen to learn about the human body and how it worked, but in my early 20's I realised that solely considering the physical body did not hold all the answers to health and happiness. 

My personal journey began as an office worker with a bad posture, which lead to headaches and nausea. My GP gave me a good telling off, and I started looking for ways to strengthen my back. I found Tai Chi and the sensations I experienced lead me to believe in the concept of Chi. I soon realised that office work was not my calling, so retrained as a Personal trainer but following an out of the blue conversation with my friend's mum, I found myself booked on to a one day Shiatsu workshop and from there, I was hooked.

After 3 years training, I qualified from the British School of Shiatsu in 2007. My son was 6 days old, so I wasn't in any rush to build a business. Fortunately I had been volunteering 1 day a week at MS Action since my second year and they asked me to stay on as a paid therapist.

I have had the good fortune to work with people from all walks of life, at all ages and stages.  I enjoy my continuing professional development and love being able to use the wide variety of techniques I have learned over the years to help my clients, whether they just want a little "me time" or something more specific.

A bit of my history

My working life began in Investment Banking in the City, but because of my long standing interest in health and fitness, I became a personal trainer. I wanted to try to help others achieve better health through fitness instead of pills and had some great successes, but it was still not enough. I was introduced to Shiatsu, and have never looked back.

Shiatsu (along with my continued Tai Chi) opened my eyes to the Traditional take on health. Which is, in a nutshell, where there is an imbalance in energy (Chi), there will be ill health. Traditional Medicine has been used for thousands of years and is still an integral part of life in the East, as well as continuing to grow in popularity around the world.

I love what I do, and I believe this comes across to my clients, to whom I am forever grateful for their custom.
