The Therapist behind Vitalize Wales
As we start the new year I thought it would be helpful to introduce myself again.
I am a highly experienced professional therapist, qualified in a wide range of therapies suitable for everyone - from babies to older adults. I began my therapy journey in 2007, qualifying in Sports Massage (Level 4) at UWIC. I recognise that each client responds differently so embrace a holistic approach to all treatments.
In 2011, I trained in Clinical Foot Reflexology and Reiki, and have since added a range of additional therapies to my skillset.
I am a Mum of two and it was the birth of my first child in 2012 that inspired me to become a trainer in baby massage and baby reflexology, helping parents and caregivers enhance the special bond with their little ones while enjoying the therapeutic benefits themselves.
In 2016, I added Sports Reflexology, a therapy ideal for acute and chronic injuries, as well as conditions such as fibromyalgia.
In Autumn 2020, I trained in Hydrotherm massage, an innovative system that elevates a massage treatment quality.
Over the years I have also undertaken specialist training in pregnancy massage, Indian Head massage, soft cupping, lava shell, holistic facials, facial cupping -ensuring each therapy is tailored to the client’s unique needs.
In 2021, I expanded from clinical practice into teaching and became Director of TEACH Therapy Ltd, qualifying as a tutor in 2024 and now alongside running my clinic I teach students in a range of massage and reflexology disciplines.
I passionately believe that therapies should be accessible to everyone and that Sports Massage benefits everyone. I work with a wide range of athletes - from professionals to those beginning their sporting journeys (including footballers, referees, runners, cyclists, swimmers, golfers, fencers, yoga/ Pilates and rugby players) as well as those who do not partake in any sport at all.
In 2024, I was proudly awarded Massage Therapist of the Year, Wales, in the national Hair & Beauty Awards, an evidenced based awards system which recognises professionalism, skill and the positive impact made for clients.
I am a member of the Complementary Therapists Association (CThA), and fully insured with Holistic Insurance Services.
