About Me
About Me
I am an ITEC & BTEC qualified therapist, insured with Complimentary Therapists Association ( http://www.ctha.com/ ) and a member of Embody Complementry Health Therapists ( www.embody.foryou.com ). I am registered therapist with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and hold a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Certificate.
My personal journey into massage and alternative therapies began when my priorities began to shift in 2002 after my first massage course in London.
My passion for bodywork & energy therapies inspired me to spend the last 14 years immersing myself in studying and practicing various traditional and contemporary disciplines. I’m very fortunate to have studied with incredibly gifted teachers and healers and to learn from my inspirational clients.
Massage training has taken me from Guatemala - Indian Head massage, to upstate New York - Usui Ryoho Reiki (Master level), to London - ITEC & BTEC Holistic Massage (highest qualification), to Bali - Balinese massage, Hot Stones, Facial Massage, and back to London - immersing myself in Sports Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Abdominal massage, Pregnancy training with Aromatherapy Associates, developing the anti-cellulite massage and USA again to study the phenomenal Biosync body/spirit work.
I have travelled the world in search of the most effective, holistic, powerful bodywork to study and offer my clientelle.
