My journey into bodywork began in2000, when I started a course in holistic therapeutic massage. I had always been very active and enjoyed the physicality of massage.

I became interested in the body-mind connection and began exploring Eastern energeric approaches to healing and bodywork. I completed a three course in Shiatsu at the Northern School of Shiatsu and became fully registered with the Shiatsu Society UK in 2002.

I have been employed for over ten years, in various capacities, to work with individuals who have experienced abuse - physical, sexual and emotional - and have integrated my knowledge and experience of bodywork to support individuals with their own healing. I find Shiatsu/Massage deeply rewarding to practice and clients have fed back regaining a sense of hope and control following sessions.

Shiatsu can help ease emotional as well as physical pain. Indeed, the two are completely interlinked. My practise is based on Chinese Medical Theory which offers a fascinating system upon which to base a treatment tailored to your individual needs.

In 2004 I qualified as an Auricular Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist for Substance Misuse and Stress and am employed as a therapist, in a community based project. I am due to complete an Msc in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at the Northern College of Acupuncture later this year.

Wellforce offers a safe, relaxed and confidetial environment and I thoroughly enjoy being part of a supportive and experienced team of practitioners.

I offer a free 15 minute consultataion and would be happy to talk through any questions you may have,
