Additional Information
I have a background in Social Work, working with people with learning disabilities and mental health problems; however I have always had an interest in well-being and complementary therapies and I started training and practicing in Complementary Therapies after going back to my homeland in South Africa and meeting some very inspiring and creative people. I felt becoming a Complementary Therapist was my true career path as I love working with people in a therapeutic way and giving them tools to enhance their lifestyles. I feel very blessed to be on this path of self realisation and want to share the knowledge and tools I have received whilst building loving and caring relationships.
As previously mentioned I am interested in researching the benefits of complementary therapies and working with children on the Autism Spectrum and with adults who have mental health problems.
Testimonials
A very relaxing and informative session with our foster carer group. They all appreciated some time out, from their often challenging and stressful role as carers, to think about caring for themselves. Many thanks
