About The Therapist - I consider myself to be a relatively well experienced holistic therapist. During just over a two year period I have worked with a variety of clients ranging from young adults to the elderly, presenting me with a variety of health conditions i.e. general backache, arthritic conditions to depression and stress complaints.

Lately, I have been treating occupational ailments (i.e. repetitive strain injury/inappropriate lifting etc). In treating such clients, I make use of advanced massage, reflexology and even hot stones in my treatments. I have found here that using a combination of treatments e.g. using aromatherapy with hot stones or reflexology with ear candling has produced more beneficial health outcomes for my clients. Indeed, clients who have come to me have been very satisfied and happy in the quality of therapy I have provided for them and have themselves improved their well-being by following my aftercare advice, also to help maintain well-being, and coming back to me for subsequent treatment (if they feel necessary). More importantly, my clients have benefited in reducing their need to rely on medication and adopting more active approaches to their health, for example, using postural exercises/breathing exercises to help or using blended oils provided by myself to alleviate e.g. tennis elbow/knee discomfort. Indeed, each of these cases has been, I am happy to say produces successful outcomes.

Aside from this, I also, on a monthly basis, use my Swedish massage and advanced massage techniques on a local swimming pool team. The aim here is to help swimmers overcome aches, pains and strains experienced through intensive training and also to provide swimmers with massage to reduce overall anxiety and increase performance for subsequent competitions.

During my two years I have also delved into a number of more specialised body treatments. My motivations to do so are fuelled not only by my enthusiasm of holistic therapies, but also in providing myself with additional specialist skills will enable me to meet the specific needs of each of my clients. I have now completed studying for a Sports Therapy Diploma (BSST) in Bath, and in the next couple of months I have applied to study Chinese Massage (Tui Na) and Seated Acupressure in London. Indeed, I believe I have a competent amount of experience and skills to meet specific client needs, thus allowing me to provide a positive contribution to the workplace.
