Certified Massage Therapist 

As a certified Remedial Massage Therapist, I am dedicated to promoting wellness and relaxation through the power of touch. With a deep understanding of the human body and years of hands-on experience, I provide personalised massage therapy sessions that cater to the unique needs of each client. 

​

My Journey 

My passion for massage therapy began early in life; after receiving a gift voucher for my birthday from my work colleagues, it inspired my desire to help others achieve physical and mental well-being. I pursued formal training at [Gracegrove College in Newcastle], where I honed my skills and gained comprehensive knowledge of various massage techniques. Graduating in 2002, I obtained my Diploma and embarked on a fulfilling career dedicated to healing and rejuvenation.

Benefits of having a Reiki Treatment 

Dr Mikao Usui of Kyoto, Japan named the energy “Reiki” which means: Universal Life Force Energy this simple hands-on art of energy renewal was rediscovered a century ago by Dr Mikao Usui 

As the energy is activated, the brain wave pattern automatically slows down to the 8 - 10 Hertz range, as in meditation, with a consequent de-stressing of the vital functions. 

​

Thus, Reiki is far more than a physical healing modality; it also enhances mind, emotions, and spiritual awareness, bringing the four aspects into balance. 

​

Since the rediscovery of Reiki, reports of physical healings include cessation of bleeding, burns that do not blister, bruises that fade overnight and swift recovery from illness and accidents. 

Client-Centred Approach 

​

I believe that each client is unique, and I take the time to understand their specific needs and goals. My approach is holistic, considering not only the physical aspects but also the emotional and mental well-being of my clients. By creating a serene and comfortable environment, I ensure that every session is a unique experience for each client’s individual needs. 

​

Continued Learning 

In my commitment to providing the best possible care, I continually seek opportunities for professional development. I attend workshops, seminars, and advanced training courses to stay updated with the latest techniques and industry trends. This dedication to learning allows me to offer innovative and effective therapies to my clients. 

​

Furthermore, I have had a wonderful opportunity learning a new way to integrate my skills to be able to work on horses and canines using Equine Tension Release Therapy, ETRT for short. A holistic approach of treating horses or your beloved K9 friends who are structurally stiff and sore.  

​

It is a non-invasive technique involving the application of pressure and movement with the fingers, thumbs and the heels of the hands at specific points on the body. 

​

This form of treatment based in modern forms of human Trigger Point Therapy, most especially Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction Syndrome Therapy, and then Nero structural Integration Technique. The modality known ‘Bowen Therapy’ has also been influential in this, ETRT uses most of the same key trigger points as those used in equine acupressure and shiatsu, which are forms of oriental medical practice.

​

So, the main physiotherapeutic and physiological effects of performing ETRT are: 

·      Relieves muscle spasms and re-sets muscles to their normal levels of tension 

·      Re-establishes the structural integrity and mobility of the skeletal system 

·      Restores full blood supply to muscles previously in spasm 

·      Releases entrapped parts of the nervous system 

·      Activates the body’s endorphins processes to combat pain 

·      Removes uric and lactic acids and other wastes through improving lymphatic drainage 

·      Releases natural cortisone to aid reduction in swelling 

·      Improves willingness to work and concentration in training and performance
