In 1996, I had an accident at work and this lead to me having 2 years off work. I was diagnosed with Chronic Pain Syndrome. During this time I was willing to try anything to get myself better and I was introduced to Complementary Therapies. Within months of receiving my first attunement to Reiki in 1998, I was off benefit and teaching at a local College! I had been predicted by medical experts that I would only have 70% of my function for life, but I have proved statistics wrong and I am at least 95% healthy now and am virtually pain free. Over time, I have added therapies to my bow and I use these with clients as well as applying the same principles when I am teaching.

I want my clients to feel empowered to change how they think, feel and act in life to transform their health and wellbeing and to achieve more positive outcomes. To do this I offer a range of therapies and my clients get to chose the approach that they think would suit them best. My coaching is flexible and tailored around my clients. If one therapy does not suit, I usually have other ones that I can swap to if necessary. I offer a relaxed and confidential service which can take place at my clinic in Coxheath or in the privacy of your own home. I can offer telephone/Skype coaching, however if you need any therapy you do need to see me in person.

I look forward to working with you.

My training, work experience and any achievement

I started teaching in 1999 and gained my PGCE in 2003 and my Advanced Learning Coach qualification in 2010. I use my teaching skills within my therapy as well as using them when running workshops. I was a teacher trainer until very recently.

I have been practising Reiki for 15 years. I am a Reiki Master Teacher and I qualified at this level in 2010. I attend regular updates with my Reiki Master Susie Jennings. I practice Usui Reiki and my lineage is 11 removed from Dr Usui himself. I regularly meditate as this is part of the spiritual practise of Reiki.

In 2002, I became a professional coach with the Coaching Academy. This qualification was further backed up with Subject Learning Coach status in 2005 and Advanced Learning Coach Status in 2009.

In 2005, I became interested in Indian Head Massage and qualified at Level 3 with VTCT.

In 2010, I was introduced to learning NLP, EFT, Hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy and I am now a Master Practitioner in all but EFT. My goal for 2013!

In 2011, I learnt how to do Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and added this string to my bow. It fits really well with NLP and it means that I can offer a flexible approach for my clients who like a more conventional approach.

In July 2011, I started Insightful Minds and became self employed, I have worked with a range of clients suffering from chronic pain, brain tumours, menopause, depression, anxiety to name but a few. I see private clients as well as those referred by GPs. I also maintain my teaching status by working part time at local colleges.

In 2012 and 2013, I was the lucky winner of the Kent Independent Traders Awards - Health and Beauty Category.

I am happy to show anyone my certificates. Thanks.
