With almost 30 years of hands-on experience as a qualified and insured massage therapist, Reiki Master Teacher, and holistic practitioner, I’ve dedicated my life to empowering others through natural healing, therapeutic practice, and accessible education.
My journey into holistic therapy began with a deeply personal mission—to help my eldest son heal from severe childhood eczema when conventional treatments offered little relief. That early success with natural methods inspired my lifelong commitment to holistic health. I went on to build a clinical practice, supporting private clients with therapeutic treatments and personalised care.
Over time, I expanded my focus to course creation, driven by a passion to make professional holistic training accessible to people across the globe. My online courses are designed to empower international students with real-world skills, professional insights, and natural approaches to wellness.
To support your professional journey, I’ve partnered with a recognised UK insurance provider who accepts my qualifications—giving you the option to gain insurance and practice professionally in a private clinical setting (where permitted).
My mission is simple yet powerful: to be useful. Specifically, to:
Provide inclusive, high-quality learning opportunities internationally
Deliver affordable, flexible, and independent learning experiences
Promote natural therapies as accessible, everyday wellness tools
Encourage the growth of ethical holistic businesses in Aromatherapy, Massage, Reiki, and energy therapies
