About me
After 32 years building a busy private practice in Oxford, I’ve recently moved to beautiful East Coker, near Yeovil, on the Somerset/Dorset border. I am now dividing my time between the 2 locations, offering aromatherapy, massage therapy, reflexology, facial reflexology, hot stone massage, Indian head massage, abdominal massage, reiki and Bowen treatments. In addition, I am a baby massage instructor. I can be reached easily here from Yeovil, Sherborne, Dorchester, Crewkerne, Beaminster, Bridport, Bruton...and all the villages between.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been in practice for over 30 years, qualifying firstly as an aromatherapist and massage therapist in 1992 and then as a reflexologist, and have built a wealth of experience during this time.
In 2022 I was awarded Lifetime Membership of the Association of Reflexologists, a discretionary award made to those us of us who have been members of the Association for over 30 years continuously. A real honour to receive!
In addition to my private practice, I have taught massage and reflexology for many years throughout Oxfordshire. For 16 years I worked at a private hospital in Oxford, offering massage to high dependency elderly patients, and in the 1990s I was contracted as Senior Aromatherapist to a pioneering corporate well-being centre. I am passionate about the benefits of the treatments that I offer and would love to share this with you!
