My Story 

​

I’ve been a practicing Tui Na Chinese Medical Massage Practitioner since 2019 after undergoing a career change following my own health scare. As part of my practice and philosophy, I strive to both educate and support my clients to heal and to empower them to live better and healthier lives. I am an Ex Front Line Police Officer and I have always had the desire to help others, although holistic health care is what I really love, enjoy and excel in. 

With a special interest in Pain Management I have found that working with the principles of Eastern Medicine I am able to locate area’s of pain, discomfort and energy blockages within the body and treat them effectively. 

I am honoured and privileged to have trained, studied and qualified in Tui -Na Medical Massage and Fire Cupping Therapy under Professor Ke and Dr Song who are renowned globally for their excellent work and expert knowledge in Chinese Medicine. I have also completed numerous clinical hours at The London NHS Whittington and North Middlesex Hospitals assisting within the pain clinic. I am a certified Tui-Na Massage Therapist holding professional membership with The Acupuncture Society. 

I am also equally honoured and privileged to have trained with Rika Tanaka in Traditional Japanese Jikeden Usui Reiki of which I hold level 2 Shoden and Okuden practitioner status. As a level 2 practitioner of Jikiden Reiki, I am able to treat with a hands-on approach as well as using distance Reiki, using only Jikiden Traditional Japanese Usui Reiki free from any Western influences. I am a full level 2 practitioner holding professional membership with The Jikiden Reiki UK Association as well as being enlisted into the Jikiden Reiki Institute in Kyoto, Japan and officially recognised as a Jikiden Reiki practitioner. 

My approach is a combination of both eastern and western methods. If you need a positive, energetic and caring Holistic Therapist, please don’t hesitate to reach out to find out how I can help you restore and revitalise yourself. 

Although Holistic Therapies are my first love, I continue to have a special interest in Health and Fitness and still train my clients within this field. I am Qualified Fitness Instructor and a Certified Boxercise Coach. I am listed on The International Register of Boxercise Instructors and I hold full membership status and Insurance with CIMPSA who are the regulating body for the Health and Fitness industry in the UK. 

I am currently a Student Osteopath studying hard for a BOst Hons Degree in Osteopathic Medicine (Osteopathy) and I very much look forward to adding these services to my clients once suitably qualified.
