Our Story
I have been treating a range of people with differing needs since I qualified 12 years ago. I have a passion for massage and a understanding of Reiki and the bodies natural energy systems . I am able to provide a healing experience that is unique to the individual. My treatments are holistic in there approach and the client is the centre and focus for that time . Clients may wish to chat or just relax and not speak at all during treatments . I am guided by the individual when creating the ambiance and the energy of the treatment .
At present I dont travel so cant do home treatments
Contraindications:
Some conditions may prevent treatments being carried out and written confirmation from your G.P. may be required in some instances. For some of the treatments you may need more than one session to feel the full effects.
Using traditional Swedish massage techniques My massage is tailored for each individual. Be it a full body massage or working in-particular areas that need most attention . The Massage can be for pure relaxation or a more invigorating type to wake you up increase vitality and alertness.
I like to create a rapport between the client and myself in order to provide the best care and treatment. A genuine caring approach

Reiki is a Japanese word that literally means "Universal Life Force Energy"
Reiki- is a form of healing that is becoming increasing popular in this country.
Reiki- is a powerful aid to our bodies healing ability and is one of the most natural, safe, healing, techniques around.
Reiki- energy is directed through the practitioners hands bringing Reiki energy to the recipients body, working on many different levels. It brings all aspects of the recipient into balance and the recipients body directs the energy to wherever it is needed. Reiki heals on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
Reiki- is a gentle non-intrusive (fully clothed) hands on or off, which ever the client prefers. They remove their shoes and lie on their back on a couch or if they prefer in a sitting position.
Some clients feel spaced out, some experience warmth, tingling vibration or even coolness from the therapy. As the body relaxes, your tummy may gurgle and as the mind and emotions are in a blissful state you may even cry. This is all good as it is a natural release. What ever is felt is right for that person. The healing will actually go on for a long time after the actual session. Its very important to drink plenty of water to allow the body to eliminate any toxins which Reiki will help to release.
