As a former IT Director in the City I know the impact a demanding job has on your neck, shoulders & back. I set up Vitality Therapy and created a variety of services to address these problems and now offer them with my team within companies and at my clinic.
I studied Swedish massage and Aromatherapy massage with Deirdre Moynihan and Stephanie Mealey of AVCS who were advisers to the government when the NVQ in Aromatherapy Massage was created.
I studied Reflexology with Mary Martin who was an ex-nurse who founded the Association of Reflexologists (one of the governing bodies for Reflexology) in 1984.
I studied Seated Acupressure Massage with Patricia Abercromby and Davina Thomson who run the main training organisations for chair masseurs and wrote the definitive text book on the subject.
I trained as a coach and NLP practitioner with Andy Harrington who was personally trained by Anthony Robbins.
I trained as a Health Creation Mentor with Dr Rosy Daniel, who is widely recognised as a world authority on the holistic approach to cancer care and who to implement healthy lifestyle changes.
I qualified in Hot Stone Therapy after studying under Rosie Malcolm-MacEwan who previously taught at Champneys in Tring, Hertfordshire.
I qualified in Sports Massage after studying with Essentials for Health.
I am a member (membership number G6060) of the Complementary Therapists Association (CThA), and the Association of Reflexologists (membership number 7830).
