About me

Since first qualifying as a Fitness Trainer & Sports Therapist my main priority has always been to deliver the highest quality training, treatment and advice, personalised to suit each client’s needs. I ensure that my exercise instruction is effective and enjoyable, and has the client’s safety foremost.

Care and empathy are important elements in my therapies which include Reiki, Reflexology and Massage. It is essential that my clients know that I am listening to them and providing the most suitable treatment, using knowledge gained from my training, experience and continuing research, and also that knowledge which comes from within, from the heart, often called intuition.

My clients include young mothers, busy executives, pensioners, sports people, other therapists and people recovering from illness or injury. As well as having my own clients I spent four years at Michael Sobell House (MSH), a specialist palliative care unit at Mount Vernon Hospital and was responsible for introducing Reiki as a therapy there. The people to whom I gave Reiki at MSH included Day Centre patients, staff, volunteers, patients on the ward and sometimes their families. When I moved from that area to Harpenden, I gave my complementary therapy services one day a week for a year as a volunteer at Grove House in St. Albans.

Prior to setting out on my own I worked as a fitness professional at the BodyZone gym in Windsor.

My aim is to see people smiling, feeling good and full of optimism.
