I started my love of therapies in the 1980s with meditation and massage courses.

After I had my two sons I looked into alternative and complementary medicines for our whole families wellbeing. . Homeopathy proved a lifesaver for us and still is today.

After I had been going to Shiatsu lessons weekly for two years and using Homeopathy I felt I would like to train in a complementary therapy myself. I took a years evening course at local collage to learn anatomy and physiology before deciding on the next path. After qualifying I signed up for a one year Reflexology practitioners course. This lead to two decades of continuous learning. Teaching courses and working as a therapist in healing and hands on therapies.

I offer a range of therapies and classes, from the popular Reiki, Reflexology & IHM to the less well known Reiki Drum, Vortex Healing, metamorphic technique and more.

Sound therapy with Gongs

I was introduced to the gongs in 1998 by Don Conreaux and was able to take a short course with him and tone of life and along with gong camps and day workshops enjoyed the benefits of the gong.

It wasn’t until 2018 my first gong came to me ‘mrs symphonic’ a 24 inch Paiste gong. I love her and I was able to incorporate her into healing sessions. Lock down came and a few more gongs came my way due to a small retirement payout.

”Earth – Jupiter – and Sun it was then I decided to do a Gong Master training course.

And along came a Paiste 38” Sedna, Oetkon Tree of life 32” Symphonic, Paiste 24”Moon along with two beautiful hand crafted hand held gongs. A family of Ten amazing gongs.

As with all trainings after a while you find your own style, I like to use the soft touch method. Nice and even building up the harmonies and volume, nice and easy, keeping everything smooth and nourishing to the nervous system.

At Sun and Moon I will be bringing my Sun, Moon adding Earth gong ( and maybe a special guest or two )

I cant wait to facilitate these wonderful shamanic instruments with my range of mallets and flummies. Bring something to lay on and a blanket and enjoy the Relaxing and Balancing vibrations of the gong gurus.
