Since 1997, as a teacher, I have been offering training in holistic and complementary therapies at a range of levels and to students all over the world.

​

With many years of training under my belt in aromatherapy, massage and neuroskeletal re-alignment therapy as well as crystal and energy work, I am happy to help anyone and this includes writing for magazines or creating specially designed courses. My most recent article in Positive Health Magazine in February 2021 featured me on the front cover!

​

​I was awarded a Fellowship of the Association of Natural Medicine and the former Aromatherapy & Allied Practitioners' Association (now Complementary Health Professionals) for my services to my profession and have been a practitioner since 1994 and an educator since 1997.

 

I was also given an honorary lifetime membership of the International Federation of Aromatherapists awarded for my contribution to the aromatherapy profession and support for the association

 

I am a regular contributor to journals such as Positive Health Magazine and  the former Today's Therapist Magazine and wrote the section on regulation of aromatherapy in Shirley Price's book "Aromatherapy for Health Professionals" 4th Edition.

 

I worked worked with the Aromatherapy Consortium and Council as its Co-ordinator and Registrar and was responsible for many policy and education documents, including contributing to the Core Curriculum and National Occupational Standards. I also worked with the Aromatherapy Trade Council and the MHRA to write a policy document for Aromatherapists on how to market their products correctly and was instrumental in the standardisation and regulation of the aromatherapy profession.

 

I collaborated with colleagues to write the City & Guilds Diploma in Complementary Therapies and as well as specialising in Aromatherapy and Anatomy, I also introduced Neuroskeletal Re-alignment Therapy to the UK. I am a specialist educator, and internal and external moderator working in both the private HE and FE sector and has level 4 qualifications in quality assurance. ​I also represent Complementary Health Professionals on the General Council for Soft Tissue Therapies (GCMT).

I started my training in 2007 with VTCT in complementary therapies and then completed my reiki training in 2010. I have since further enhanced my knowledge, studying advanced aromatherapy and advanced massage as well as qualifying in Neuroskeletal Re-alignment Therapy and Crystal Healing Therapy with Carole Preen.

 

In 2018, I graduated to teach complementary therapies and have been working with Carole who was so impressed with my enthusiasm as well as my skills!

 

I am also the Reiki Officer for Complementary Health Professionals and have sat on the Reiki Council; however, we disagree becuase we feel Reiki practitioners should have an antomy and physiology qualification, especially if they are working in the NHS in order for the therapy to become respected.

 

I am passionate about plant medicine and I wrote the first UK accredited course on CBD for therapists. In 2024, I qualified in Herbal Medicine after 3 years hard study at degree level.

 

I am a Fellow of Complementary Health Professionals, a Fellow of the Federation for Holistic Therapists, a member of the Association of Reflexologists and

registered with the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) for aromatherapy, massage, reflexology and reiki. The CNHC is the UK's voluntary self-regulatory body.
