I live in the small market town of Keswick, nestled in the beautiful English Lake District. I feel incredibly fortunate to have such stunning countryside right on my doorstep
You can regularly find me out walking with my partner, Mik, and our dogs, Willow, a Fox Red Labrador, and Frannie, our Golden Retriever Labrador Cross. I also love gardening and particularly enjoy growing fruit, herbs, salads, and vegetables. Whether I am walking or gardening, I find spending time in nature both nourishing and deeply mindful
I value quiet, spacious time for seated meditation and mindful movement in the form of Qigong, Taiji, and Yoga, all of which help me maintain balance and wellbeing in my daily life
After leaving school, I trained at my local college and began working in the hospitality industry. I later returned to teach at the same college and went on to spend several years working as a youth worker with Cumbria Youth Service
My Reiki journey began in 2006 when I attended a Reiki Level 1 course with Reiki Master Teacher Nicky Forbes, followed by Reiki Level 2 in 2007. Initially, my motivation for learning Reiki was personal healing and self-development. Over time, however, I felt ready for a new career direction and was inspired by the opportunity to support others through Reiki treatments
To broaden the range of therapies I could offer, I trained in aromatherapy and various forms of massage. After completing my Usui Reiki Master Teacher training, I began teaching Reiki courses, something I continue to find deeply rewarding. I have a real love of learning and regularly attend holistic courses to deepen my knowledge and develop new skills that enhance both the therapies I offer and the courses I teach
As a professional therapist, I am fully qualified for the treatments that I offer. I am:
I truly love the work I do and am passionate about providing a high standard of care for every client. When you come to me for a treatment, retreat, or course, you are choosing to take precious time out from the demands of everyday life. I believe it is important that you are able to make the very most of those moments
The more I have practised as a holistic therapist, attended training, and explored the wealth of knowledge available through books and study, the more fascinated I have become by the workings of the nervous system and the relationship between our physical, emotional, and energetic bodies. This growing understanding has gradually shifted the focus of my work towards energy healing, including the use of crystals to encourage the free flow of energy throughout the body, support balance within the energy centres, and help calm and regulate the nervous system
My intention is to create a safe, nurturing space where you can relax deeply, release tension, ease stress and anxiety, soothe tired muscles, and bring greater calm to your body, mind, and spirit. Above all, I hope you feel supported in exploring your inner world, developing a deeper understanding of yourself, and cultivating the self-love, compassion, and resilience needed to flourish and live to your fullest potential

I look forward to hearing from you soon
