Having initially embarked on training to be a Physiotherapist, I realised I had a great passion to help people improve their health and sense of well-being.
I am a caring, enthusiastic therapist & Yoga teacher and have been in full time practised since December 1999. I offer a confidential and supportive service to every individual regardless of background or age.
My aim is to offer a bespoke service that is tailored and based on your needs, taking into account your specific preferences, by using the most appropriate and effective treatment for you.
I have been very fortunate to have gained invaluable experience (working with a wide age range of people over the last 19 years from 4 year olds to those their nineties) in private practice, in community health projects, teaching Pilates to women in a open prison, at a specialised head injury unit, nursing homes and in the business world offering support to individual employees who are experiencing pain, stress, anxiety or post traumatic stress.
As a Complementary therapist I see every day, individuals who are in pain, stressed or have a health problem that is holding them back from fully enjoying their life’s.
Whether the person is experiencing migraines, anxiety, lower back, shoulder or neck pain, recent miscarriage, menopausal problems, fertility issues, low mood, bowel problems, hay fever, pregnancy related morning sickness, relationship difficulties or has a fear or phobia that is causing difficulties, I will do my very best to help.
I use a number of Complementary therapies such as Acupuncture, Aromatherapy massage, Counselling, Emotional Freedom technique, Hypnotherapy, Reflexology and Yoga to help the individual.
My particular area of expertise is working with individuals who have anxiety, self confidence issues or who are currently feeling stressed out. The priority here is for me to support the person, so they can really begin to value who they are and stop judging themselves so harshly. We will work on increasing your sense of well-being and positivity, so you can relax more and get on to lead a happier life.
I also treat everyday individuals that are experiencing lower back pain, sciatica, frozen shoulder, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia and migraines, the treatment of choice here is usually Acupuncture.
I have worked in both national British television and on Radio Leeds in connection with my therapy and teaching work.
As a professional health and well-being therapist and Yoga teacher, I regularly attend conferences and seminars to keep up to date with medical research and as a means of extending my skills and knowledge.
In April 2019 I will be undertaking a Acupuncture study trip to Shanghai University & hospital in China. The trip is a wonderful hands-on opportunity to interact and observe Traditional Chinese Medicine first hand, where it is so widely used.
I am member of the British Acupuncture Council, General Hypnotherapy Register and the National Counselling society.
Having been a busy working mum myself of 2 daughters, I am fully aware of the many conflicting demands that life can make on us.
I first became aware of Acupuncture when I was experiencing monthly stress and hormonal headaches, (I was working as a Director of a community based charity at the time). After a few treatments my headaches stopped. I was so impressed that I took my then 9 year old daughter for Acupuncture to help with her Asthma. Natasha went for 4 treatments (one a week) and has never experienced Asthma symptoms since (she is now 28).
After this very positive experience I decided to give up my full time job in the charitable/third sector and train full time in Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture at the prestigious Northern college of Acupuncture in York qualifying in 2006.
In 2010 I continued my studies in Acupuncture by studying for a MSc in Acupuncture & Chinese medicine at Middlesex university.
Having always had a interest in human psychology and mental health (having studied counselling and social psychology at Bradford University) I have since trained in Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and Yoga.
My interests and hobbies include walking Harley my cockapoo, socialising with my family and friends (daughters living in London & Sydney), playing tennis & badminton (not very well), cycling, practising Yoga, travel and personal development.
