I have been a full-time Holistic Practitioner since September 2005 and have had a strong interest in health and healing for over 20 years. I have studied a wide range of disciplines from ayurveda and bach flower remedies to yoga and zen.
My background also includes primary school teaching, social work, running my own mind, body spirit shop and living in a commune. I have a great depth of life experience having been fully immersed over the years in the joys and sorrows of what it is to be human. I am therefore able to bring genuine caring, compassionate understanding into my current work.
I have been on a journey with Breathwork practises for over 9 years. In my initial sessions as a client I was fortunate enough to work with a practitioner of great expertise. She held the space for me as a profound release took place primarily in relation to unresolved bereavement issues that I had carried with me since a child. I decided I wanted to train as a Breathworker and went on to successfully complete the Essential Life Skills training in 2003/4.
In 2005 I went to America and studied with Leonard Orr, the founder of the Rebirthing Breathwork movement. I can honestly say that his Professional Rebirthing Breathworker course was the most awesome experience of my life. I remain passionate about the spiritual purification practices he taught us and continue to use them on a daily basis. Through them, as well as enhancing my abilities as a Breathworker, I have become an extremely clear channel for healing energy. On my return from America I completed my Reiki Attunements and became a Traditional Usui Reiki Master/Teacher. I do my best to live my life according to Reiki Principles.
I see my life as an ongoing journey of personal and professional development. To this end, in July 2011 I successfully completed a one year (BACP approved) Counselling Skills course. This has helped me develop my consultation skills and gain further insights into my core beliefs and self-esteem.
