About me:
I trained with one of the first cohorts in Neuromuscular transmission with Linda Callis. I also attained a diploma in Aromatherapy and Reflexology in the 1990’s and I learnt to do Indian head massage. At that time, I had young children and I focused on motherhood. I offered friends and family treatments whenever I could. I took these things up out of interest and curiosity about the benefits that touch therapy could bring. From a young age I have always had an interest in any natural kind of remedies and healing. I took up yoga in my twenties I had my first experience of Reflexology. I qualified as a Reflexologist with The British Reflexology Association in 1997 and trained as a yoga teacher in 2017. As well as yoga classes I run yoga day retreats near Market Harborough a few times a year. I also run Chair Yoga sessions at KGH for cancer patients. I was drawn to Reiki and received my Master level attunement in 2020. I am now able to offer Reiki training as well as individual treatments and distant healing.

More recently, I decided to train as an Amanda therapist and qualified with Anne Heigham in 2024. The Amnanda Process is an Ayurvedic treatment (Ayurveda is the sister of yoga) developed from a Tibetan tradition. It involves a course of 12 revitalising oil treatments which are carried out once a month over the course of a year. The Amnanda Process is a program designed to promote healing and rejuvenation. It is aimed at releasing deeply held tension or trauma held in the body. It is gentle yet profound. If you are looking for healing on a much deeper level choose Amnnanda.

Therapies available: 

I offer Reflexology, Reiki, Indian head massage and The Amnanda process (an Ayurvedic treatment that spans over a year with a monthly healing treatment using oils containing organic herbs). I can also offer one to one yoga sessions.

Reflexology is gentle but effective in inducing deep relaxation - calming the mind to promote better sleep and balancing the body's digestive, hormonal and nervous systems. A course of treatment may improve vitality & bring increased energy levels. Whilst Reflexology can help to alleviate various ailments, aches and pains. However, you don't necessarily need to have anything 'wrong' with you to benefit from a monthly session or just a one off treatment. Receiving Reflexology is a pleasant, soothing experience. The whole of each foot is worked on for 45 minutes (or your hands if you prefer). I qualified with the British Reflexology Association in 1997. I particularly enjoy having this treatment myself quite regularly to maintain my own good level of health & well-being. It's so lovely to be able to treat others.

Reiki is healing practice which promotes relaxation and supports healing by channeling Universal life force energy through a practitioner's hands. I can work with my hands on the body or if you prefer no touch I can work in your energy field without making contact with your physical body.The experience is pleasant and nurturing. The client may feel heat from my hands or may even see colours in their mind's eye as the healing takes place.They may experience a shift in their energy as it becomes calmer.

Indian Head Massage is good for reducing mental and emotional stress. In Western culture, people often stay in their heads too much, thinking and stressing. This treatment helps quiet the mind and brings a surprisingly deep relaxation. Working steadily and moderately helps relieve muscle discomfort and tension and increases relaxation. It improves blood circulation to the head, enhances the senses encouraging clear thinking.

The Amnanda Process, an Ayurvedic treatment which comprises 12 sessions whereby the body is anointed, once a month, with specially prepared oils containing organic herbs. Special organic teas and a skin tincture are taken to support this course of treatment.
Each treatment heals on a different level and will release any deeply held trauma in the mind or body from any past experiences.. Ultimately this leads to living with a backdrop of joy, peace, harmony and more contentment. You only ever need one course in a lifetime.

Yoga: if you prefer not to attend a yoga class, I can offer private one to one sessions tailored especially if you are new to yoga and are looking for a gentle way to ease yourself into this practice. Yoga can improve posture, mental clarity, muscles and joints may become more flexible. Yoga can help to build strength and relieve tension and stress levels.
