After 10 years of working in Human Resources I took voluntary redundancy and began thinking to myself ‘what do I want to do?’. I have always loved feet - at the age of 9 I was using a blade on my own feet to help treat a verruca - and decided to retrain. As I already had a degree in Business Studies I thought I would try studying for a Diploma in Foot Health and before starting my course I gained some experience working with a Podiatrist in Chorley - he let me see what it was really like and made me realise it was something I wanted to do. In 2006 I qualified and after a short period of time (to let a broken finger heal!) I began working for myself as a Foot Health Practitioner. I also trained in Reflexology which sparked an interest in and love for other holistic therapies. I went on to train in Indian Head Massage, Swedish Massage, Remedial Massage, Sports Massage and Thermal Auricular Therapy. I am also a qualified Infant Massage Instructor. I really love what I do - meeting new people, helping them feel better, providing practical solutions for their daily lives - and many people I see today have been with me since the very beginning. I am very lucky that many of my patients/clients are now also my friends. I am happy to see people on a regular basis, on an infrequent basis or indeed as a one-off! Whatever is best for you works for me. I work on a mobile basis so do all my treatments in the comfort of your own home. My working hours are changing all the time. Being self-employed I was fortunate enough to be able to reduce my working week to 2 days whilst my son was young. Now he is starting school I have increased my working days to Monday to Wednesday, school time and Monday and Tuesday evenings. Other days and times can be arranged when needed. Further Information
