I respect that self-awareness, healing and growth are an ongoing process of discovery. My personal journey has led me through many seasons of life and there will no doubt be many more, along the way I have gathered extensive resources and understanding through my work with people, academic and experiential trainings and first-hand experiences. Realising that each person has unique needs, expectations and hopes, I aim to provide spaces to grow through empowerment, empathy and embodiment so that the individual can nurture their seeds and alchemise their past. I travelled in my early 20’s and in a beach hut in India, in the middle of monsoon season with the pouring rain battering the palm roof, I received my first massage. This sparked my life direction and when I returned to the UK I began training in Massage Therapy, Reflexology and Aromatherapy. Finishing my training in 2004 I co-founded a clinic in the North Laine area of Brighton and this ran successfully for 11 fond years. Witnessing the impact of bodywork on people’s lives was incredibly rewarding, people walked in stressed, tense and often in pain and left feeling soft, relaxed and nourished. I quickly realised and witnessed how trauma was stored in the body and how it could be released, supporting people through release with care and tenderness became a regular part of the treatment and this led to my next chapter.
