About me
I qualified in Shiatsu in 1992. For the past eighteen years I have been a full-time
practitioner learning from and facilitating many people’s journeys into health and
self-empowerment. I have also been deeply influenced by a recent training in Spiritual
Healing and my involvement during the last six years with Penny Brohn Cancer Care
(formerly the Bristol Cancer Help Centre), working with people with cancer and their
supporters.
Working with serious illness has strengthened my belief that we are all hardwired
to heal, that ‘dis-
Over the years I have learnt much about the human spirit, its potential for renewal and its courage to heal. Unlocking this potential is unique to each individual. At the core of my philosophy lies the belief that we are our own experts and we alone hold the key to our own health and wellbeing.
My own healing began with a need to integrate different energies, those of my birthplace and heritage and those of the country that has become my home. This process led me to develop a passion for holistic therapies, which include healing, shiatsu, qi gong and meditation.
I have also been a teacher of Shiatsu since 1997, teaching in schools in the UK and in Spain and Portugal. Working with student practitioners and supporting their journey is a rich and rewarding part of my practice. I offer supervision, Post Graduate Year (PGY) support and tutorials.
I am a registered member of the Shiatsu Society both as a practitioner and a teacher (MRSS T). I was part of its Management Committee for four years and I am currently part of its assessment panel.
I have been enormously privileged to learn with many wonderful Shiatsu and energy teachers and I continue to renew my skills with continuous professional development (CPD).
