| Why
I trained in this field |
My studies began in 1982 at the Churchill Centre then run by Ken Holm. I did not begin with the thought of a career change, but because I thought it would be a fun and interesting thing to do. During my course my tutors advised me that I had a real aptitude for physical therapeutics and I should take the ITEC Certificate in Anatomy, Physiology and Massage and this would allow me to work in the field if I chose. I sat the examination and to my delight passed with credit. At the time I was working with a Natural Health company, which was expanding fast and relocating outside London. I decided it was time to put my new-found skills to work. I found a small multi-disciplinary clinic in Hampstead and The Aromatherapy Centre in Hendon, run by Franzesca Watson, Director of Natural by Nature. From 1884 to 1989 I continued my studies and received Certifcates and Diplomas in Sports Injury & Therapy and Teaching from ITEC.
By the late eighties with additional skills I joined another small multi-disciplinary centre - Muswell Healing Arts and still work here to this day. By the mid nineties I felt I needed to rekindle my passion for my skills and returned to education at the University of Westminster to study a Master of Arts in Therapeutic Bodywork. I spent a wonderful 2 years immersed in a world of exploration of physical discipline in all its forms, both Eastern and Western and emerged with a Masters Degree in 1997.

| About
me |
In 1998 I joined Barnet Community Health Council, in addition to running my Muswell Hill practice. I trained and worked for 6 years in the NHS, providing healthcare information to the public and acting as an Advocate for patients with NHS healthcare issues.
Today I have practices in North London and St. Albans, Hertfordshire and am working on a programme to pass on all I have learnt in 25 years of practice to new and upcoming therapists. I consider myself very fortunate to do the work I love and have had the priviledge to work with some very couragous people.
