​​​​​​​​​​​​​​My journey into holistic health began over 30 years ago, originally as a chiropodist, where foot and leg massage sparked my passion for therapeutic touch. Over time, my massage practice expanded to include Swedish and pregnancy massage, myofascial release, hot stone therapy, and recently oncology massage and manual lymphatic drainage. Massage sits at the foundation of my holistic practice, which has always been centred around women’s healing and embodied wellbeing.

​

Alongside hands-on healing, I’ve followed a deep spiritual path. In the 1990s, I trained in energy healing at the College of Psychic Studies, and later apprenticed for six years in New Mexico with a Native American medicine elder. These formative years taught me the power of ritual, ceremony, and sound as healing tools, and laid the foundation for my work with sacred voice, frame drumming, and women’s circles.

​

Sound healing, too, wove its way naturally into client work. Inspired by world acclaimed musician and master gong player Tim Wheater. I now offer immersive sound baths both one-to-one and in small groups in The Temple Room studio, and within corporate wellbeing and community settings. I have also developed and run community frame drumming circles for over 20 years along with drum making and other spiritual based courses and workshops, all designed to take individuals to deeper states of consciousnes and connection with the natural worlds and their own inner processes. 

​

My work in trauma recovery deepened while volunteering and leading short courses at Lighthouse Women’s Centre in Suffolk. This knowledge of nervous system awareness and education has deepened my practice through training in Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) to Advanced Practitioner Level - and becoming  a Certified Nervous System Regulation Practitioner - offering tools to gently release emotional pain and support calm, embodied living.

I’m also certified to support and coach women through the perimenopausal and postmenopausal years, holding space for the physical, emotional, and spiritual transitions of this powerful life phase.

​

In 2023, I relocated back to Kent to the Isle of Sheppey and opened The Temple Room - a sanctuary space for women’s healing. I offer sessions both in-person and online, and continue my work as a writer and poet creating embodiment-based workbooks and collections of my work published through The Temple Room Press.

​​

I am also proud to support the Kent based women's charity SATEDA and The Harmony Therapy Trust, by offering accessible care for those recovering from trauma or illness.

At the heart of all my work is this simple truth:

Our body is our sacred temple - it is both the vessel and the companion that we journey with throughout our lives, it deserves our love and our tending, which I believe becomes the gateway to living a soul-aligned Thriving Life.
