I
first became interested in holistic therapies around about 1996. Having
taken some evening classes in Aromatherapy and Reflexology, I decided
to pursue my interests and took the ITEC (International
Therapy Examination Council ) in Anatomy, Physiology and Massage.
This diploma is usually a pre-requisite for many other therapies and
is now more commonly known as Holistic Massage.
At
this time I was also selling Aromatherapy oils for Likisma
Ltd, so my knowledge regarding oils and their properties did get
pretty good! So much so, I gained a diploma from The
School of Natural Health Sciences in Aromatherapy in 2004.
During
2001/ 2002, I continued my studying of Reflexology at SCOLA
(Sutton College of Learning for Adults, used to be for Liberal Arts!)
and completed the ITEC exams, with good passes!
I
have also been attuned to Reiki l, ll and lll/ master levels.
Reiki is a fascinating subject, so do click the button on the left and
follow the links for more information.
Continuing
to develop my skills, in July 2002, I attended the Raworth
College in Dorking. Susanne Enzer taught us further Reflexology
techniques to use for all aspects of maternity. Again, click the
button for more information on how reflexology during this exciting
time can assist. I have also further studied to incorporate Precision
Reflexology (linking techniques) and Vertical
Reflexology.
I
teach Introduction to Holistic Massage and Introduction to Reflexology
as preliminary courses to the ITEC courses run by SCOLA
of Sutton and CETS of Croydon,
having acquired the City & Guilds Teaching for Adults 7407 qualification.
During
2005, I trained at the Sandra Day
School in Thermal Stone Massage. This is an exciting technique and
deeply relaxing treatment using basalt stones and cold marine stones.
I
have gained certificates in Acupressure and Kinesiology and whilst I
don't offer these as stand alone treatments, I draw on the knowledge
and incorporate aspects into my other therapies. I have a practitioners
certificate in Hopi Ear Candling, more of which is explained by clicking
the button link on the left.
I
do Reflexology, Maternity Reflexology, Reiki, Hopi Ear Candles, Hot
Stone, Aromatherapy and Holistic Massage treatments from home in Coulsdon,
Surrey.
However,
recognising that many people in need of these treatments are working,
I can offer treatments in the workplace... IF agreement can be obtained
from the powers that be! Shorter treatments, with little disruption,
can be arranged, to fit in with busy work schedules. Do read the individual
pages for details on how these therapies can assist in making a happier
working environment. I can certainly recommend, for consideration, Reflexology,
Reiki and Head Massage.
Please
browse through these pages. A lot of the information is quite readily
available from other sources on the Internet and I owe thanks to many
sites.
