I qualified as a registered nurse (RGN) in 1994 and went on to study midwifery in 1996, qualifying with a Diploma in Higher Education in early 1998. I am particularly enthusiastic about home birth, and a  supporter of a local Home Birth Support Group. 

In 2006 I graduated with a B.Sc. Honours Degree in Health Studies at Plymouth University and the Diploma in Reflexology taught at the South Devon School of Reflexology by Jane Holt.  I have appropriate insurance which covers all the therapies I offer, and I am a full member of The Complementary Therapists Association.  

In October 2009 I attended the first World Maternity Reflexology Conference in Israel as a guest speaker talking about reflexology and homebirth.  In 2009 and 2010 I have hosted maternity reflexology courses with Moshe Kruchik.  There is a slide show below.  I was also a guest speaker at the UK Maternity Reflexology Conference in November.

I continue to study, currently undertaking an aromatherapy diploma at Cornwall College which should be completed in July 2011.  I am loving playing with the oils!

I first became interested in reflexology therapy whilst at school at Ivybridge Community College when I undertook an introductory course at night-school to keep my mum company! I used the techniques on and off on both family and myself for a few years until I decided to have professional treatments myself two years ago with Jane Holt. I came away from that first treatment enrolled on the training course!
