About Me

My journey into the complementary therapy world, followed a 17 year corporate background, and started back in 2018 when I enrolled at the Cotswold Academy, and qualified in both my iTEC Level 3 Diploma in Sports & Remedial Massage Therapy and iTEC Level 4 Certificate in Sport Massage.  

​

In 2020 I qualified in Advanced Clinical Massage Therapy with the Jing Advanced Massage Training Academy, learning Eastern and Western advanced bodywork techniques. After experiencing the positive therapeutic benefits of essential oils I went on to study the iTEC Level 3 Diploma in Aromatherapy, qualifying in 2022.  In 2024 I began my journey studying the ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Reflexology, having also recently qualified.

​

Additional qualifications include Pregnancy Massage, Hot & Cold Stone Therapy, Myofascial Cupping, Medical Acupuncture, Dry Needling, Kinesiology Taping, Trigger Point Therapy, Cranial and TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) and I hold my Essential First Aid Certificate.  For teaching I also hold my AET qualification. 

​​

I am very proud to have been part of the teaching team at The Cotswold Academy for around 6 years, where I delivered the ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage as well as a number of CPD's.

​​

I am a member of the Sports Massage Association (SMA); the association for soft tissue therapists, holding full membership status due to my level of qualifications. A full member of the leading professional association for therapists in the UK; The Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) and a full member of the Complementary Therapists Association (CThA) and hold lecturer status.

When I'm not working (or studying) I love to be outdoors as much as I can.  If I'm not in my garden trying to grow all manner of things I'm either out on a trail running adventure or walking my gorgeously bonkers dog!
