'STOP!!! Moving about' was one of the first words my husband said to me when I was laid in bed crying with dreadful back pain which ran up to my shoulder and into my neck, the result of a dislocated collar bone in my early 30's.

 

I was trying as usual to get up and go to work so that nobody was left feeling let down. I knew I wasn't in any fit state to go anywhere but in my mind I had all these people relying on me to get to work. I was in my early 40's and feeling like a complete failure and in alot of physical pain. I could see no way of getting any better and I was really worried about my future, I could only imagine it with more pain and time being incapacitated and bed-ridden.

 

I had qualified in my early 30’s as a counsellor and psychotherapist and worked for a time in this role and knew at some level there was a way to change this pattern of thought. I decided that I needed to find a way back to holistic wellness, in mind, body and spirit and this led me to a number of meetings by coincidence where I began to learn about the incredible power of the mind and the restorative value of massage. I started reading and finding out all I could about physical, psychological, philosophical elements to life and how to use them to give a fully holistic approach towards my wellness. I made huge differences in my own life and encouraged by my results I decided to become qualified in massage therapy and hypnotherapy to help family and friends.

 

Using these skills over the last decade on myself, family, friends and clients has increased my knowledge and understanding in each area, my skill and experience is creating the results my clients have longed for. They are experiencing new levels of freedom, both in movement and pain management and have found the self care information particularly useful in being able to empower their own lives and decisions.
