‘Walker, there is no path.
The path is made by walking.’

- Antonio Machado

 

Committed to reflective practice

In addition to my formal qualifications I have undertaken extensive personal development, including two years of immersion learning in Thailand, studying Mindfulness practices recommended by the guidelines of National Institute of Clinical Excellence and serving as a Reiki Apprentice.

Committed to a way of life that enables reflection and continuous growth and self-acceptance, this provides the necessary foundation for my work as a therapist and trainer, supporting you to improve your own well being and quality of life.
