About Me

 
A spiritual person who started her journey of self discovery in 1996 by becoming a Reflexologist, with over 20 years’ experience as a therapist and Reiki Practitioner and Teacher.

Currently I am extremely fortunate to be employed part time by The Mustard Tree, Macmillan Cancer Support Centre within Derriford Hospital in Plymouth offering Complementary Therapies, telephone and virtual support including Relaxations, Meditations and Mindfulness to patients, family members and the bereaved.


I am also self-employed having worked with St Luke's Hospice, local Care Homes, Improving Lives Plymouth Carers Support and other support agencies.  The last few years have moved me into another dimension of freedom to be myself and enabling me to focus on my therapies helping to enrich the lives of others while at the same time giving me a wonderful work life balance.  

    


My many life experiences have not been wasted in fact I feel that they have helped me to relate to others on a myriad of levels, I have always worked to support others to achieve their potential. I have also been employed to support people with long term health conditions and disabilities to move through their barriers to find solutions and aid them in managing their conditions. Having worked to promote diversity in the workplace, enabling adults with disabilities and long-term health conditions to recognise their abilities, enabling them to move forward into sustainable paid employment.


My personal journey has not been easy, but it has never been boring, full of twists and turns, ups and downs making me the person I am today. The ups and downs of life have made me stronger along with the support of the wonderful Reiki Healing energy, no matter how tough life has been I have always used Reiki and my therapies to give me strength. I have spent time focusing on self-healing and my spiritual development, I can see now that the many aspects of my life have been focused on service, service to others and that I am now able to put as much effort into looking after myself as I do into supporting others.  


I have lived and worked in Plymouth all my life and as I have become older I find myself increasingly satisfied with the simpler things in life.  I am now a able to spend my time following my passion to deliver my therapies to those who need it most.  I am also a great believer in self-help and finding ways within my therapies that others can utilise safely for themselves at home so that I can pass on my self-help tips to others.
