My initial interest in Reflexology and Breathwork followed first-hand experience of their value to help navigate a very difficult time in my life. I was continuing to power-on-through, but felt lost and needed breathing space from how life had become.
Both treatments calmed my nervous system and helped reduce my high anxiety and the significant muscular tension I was carrying. My racing mind started to slow, which helped with sleep and decision making, and I felt energised now that my energy was not being directed into anxiety. I have continued with both practices ever since and started my studies to become a practitioner in 2003.
My working background has always been to help people. I have worked for many years employed by charities to provide rehabilitation training to adults and young people experiencing life-impacting visual impairment. This 121 specialist training helps people move on in their lives after sight loss, re-learning tasks we often do without a thought, such as traveling independently, daily-living tasks and using technology.
I have learnt over the years how important nature is in my life and for my well-being. I enjoy spending almost all of my spare time outdoors, in my garden or allotment, growing vegetables and providing wildlife friendly spaces. Hiking, cycling, dancing and travel are also a joy whenever I get the opportunity.
I have lived in the beautiful town of Stamford for 10 years with my husband Alex, and am fortunate to live in a space surrounded by trees and birdlife.
