Riverside Natural Health Centre

Holistic Therapist Massge Course Tutor

Teacher of Hydrotherm Massage Systems and other holistic therapies.

I first became interested in holistic therapy in 1996 after realising the benefits following a treatment I had to help me relax and cope with a hectic lifestyle, work committments, small children, and a home to run! I was so intrigued that I decided to study Aromatherapy and passed with a VTCT diploma in 1997. I went on to learn the Hydrotherm Massage System attaining Level One and then Level Two Advanced Techniques. Since then I have added Reflexology, Auricular therapy (Ear Candling), Usui Reiki Level One and Level Two, to my repertoire.

My love of holistic therapies has continued to grow and I have progressed to Regional Trainer for Hydrotherm Massage Systems TM Ltd. I am committed to providing the best treatments available and continually study and update my skills. I hold certification in Applied Anatomy and Physiology and am also able to deliver the following courses to students:-

Hydrotherm Level One Experience

Hydrotherm Advanced Foundation Level Two and

Hydrotherm Massage During Pregnancy Level Three

Applied Clinical Anatomy Level One.

I have recently been awarded the title of Senior Trainer for Hydrotherm Massage Systems.

I hold PTLLS City and Guild 6302, Emergency at Work First Aid Certificate and am a Member of The Federation of Holistic Therapists.
