My initial training was in Nutrition with the Nutritional Healing Foundation and from there I went on to do Holistic Therapies at Cardonald College in Glasgow, followed by a post graduate course in Stress Management.
I use my therapies on people from all walks of life, in many different locations, and for many different reasons. I have experience of working on a cancer ward at Paisleys Royal Alexandria, with full-time carers at Renfrewshire Carers and at a corporate level doing stress management in the workplace with beCogent in Erskine.
I currently work from a variety of natural therapy centres (Embody & Kilbarchan Chiropody), and I am registered with Synergy which involves a lot of work with the NHS, Glasgow City Council and more recently Strathclyde Police.
I also teach Holistic Therapies and Stress Management to 5th & 6th year pupils across three different Glasgow high schools and to a much wider age group at Cardonald College.
I have worked with clients of all ages for arthritis, panic attacks, nutrition, insomnia, OCD, ADHD, agoraphobia (fear of going out) and other phobias, crohns disease, fertility problems, overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), asthma, high/low blood pressure, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), bereavement, depression, bipolar, stress, anxiety, anger, weight problems, muscular aches and pains, headaches, migraine, sinus problems and much, much more.
I am fully qualified and insured in Advanced Massage, (taught by Elaine Liechti, director of the Glasgow School of Shiatsu). Aromatherapy, Holistic Facial, Hopi Ear Candling, Indian Head Massage, Nutrition, Reflexology , Deep Abdominal/Colonic Massage, Swedish Massage, Relaxation & Meditation and Stress Management.
In addition to the therapies I also use Bach Flower Remedies & Jan de Vries Flower Essence.
I am currently doing COSCA Counselling Skills
