**I am currently on Maternity Leave. I will be taking on new clients again in February 2020**
I have an academic background in Psychology which has given me an understanding of how specific psychological processes influence our behaviour and experience of the world.
I have experience of supporting people within the Criminal Justice System and have worked for the Probation Service and Victim Support.
I hold a Certificate in Counselling Skills and Non Violent Communication (NVC).
My own physical health, emotional well-being and work-life balance prompted me to begin exploring Complementary Therapies in 2010.
I was introduced to Reiki (a traditional Japanese healing technique) as a powerful tool for self-healing and went on to qualify as a practitioner in 2011.
I spent time exploring healing practices and traditional medicine in South America and India and I came to understand that life will bring experiences and situations that surprise and challenge us but ultimately invite us on a journey of self-discovery.
My journey drew me to Earthworks, School for the Healing Arts where I spent three years undertaking the professional training before graduating in May 2015 as a Crystal Therapist.
This was a time of profound spiritual awakening and personal transformation which now enables me to guide clients through the healing process with integrity and compassion.
In 2018 I began teaching the Counselling Skills modules at Earthworks, School for the Healing Arts.
I have an affinity for womb healing, menstrual and fertility awareness and post-natal support.
I am committed to working in a safe, structured and nourishing way and I am dedicated to a deep level of spiritual exploration, personal and professional development.
I have been practising various Martial Arts, Yoga and Meditation practices for over 10 years.
I am accredited by the Institute for Complementary and Natural Medicine (ICNM)
I am registered and insured with the British Register of Complimentary Practitioners (BRCP).
