People sometimes look at my business card and say ‘Ooh, you do a lot of things, don’t you?’ The truth is, I don’t. It’s just when they’re all listed out like that it can seem a lot.

My business is all holistic, I’m not a beauty therapist and I have no desire to be. It’s just not my passion.

My passion is essential oils, massage, touch, engaging with people, facilitating what their body needs. I know not all people like the same things: some having their feet touched, some hate it. Some love getting undressed, some cannot think of anything more embarrassing. Others like having their hair worked, while there will be others who have just had it styled and don’t want to go out with it out of shape. Some want to feel emotionally balanced or have their spiritual aspect nourished while others think it’s a load of rubbish.

It’s this uniqueness that makes us, us. By offering a range of therapies it means I can support people in the way that suits them. All of the therapies are designed to support people physically, emotionally and spiritually but some therapies do have more of a focus on a particular aspect. I specifically chose therapies that can provide similar outcomes but which help the person visiting me to find something which is a match for them.

If you look at the list of therapies I offer, they’re all interconnected. It means if people need a mix of therapies or want to try something different, we can include it in their session to see if it works for them. My toolkit is one which is designed to put people first and I often find people are a little surprised when I tell them we can mix it up.
