About Me

Thank you for taking the time to read my ‘About Me’ section.
I'm travelling to search for truth to raise my awareness and enhance my perception of life to become a more effective therapist and better serve life around me.
After 18 years working in the hotels and private member clubs I left my role last December to travel and pursue in earnest my healing therapy practices. I am grateful though as the vocation provided me with transferable life skills in leadership, organisation, communication and adaptability.
Alongside hospitality, for the past 4 years I've immersed myself in holistic therapies, studying, training and practicing as a hypnotherapist and Ayurvedic yoga masseuse, so as to be of greater benefit to help those that become part of my life and life in general.
Myself and a group of friends established and now operate a Holistic Healing Centre in Glastonbury, on the Tor which is where I can be found if not travelling.
My brother and I have also created an eco-friendly picture framing business, to allow for his talent for art to find expression. I still have all my fingers left as evidence of my 'mad tight' woodworking skills and hold some knowledge of carpentry.
I very much champion the rights of animals and the benefits of following a plant-based lifestyle.
Amongst other things...I like full moons, laughing, crystals and pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped establish a holistic healing centre on the sacred Glastonbury Tor in England

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a manager in the hospitality industry at high-end establishments for 18 years I have a wealth of stories and skills in team leading and working within a team, effective communication, enhancing guest experience and service, working under pressure, promoting sales and adaptability. It also enabled me to develop a strong work ethic along with excellent time management and organisational skills.
Establishing both an eco-friendly picture framing business with my brother and the Holistic Healing Centre with my close friends I have learnt a wealth of skills, knowledge and experience in; starting a business, carpentry, manufacturing products, tea-making, purchasing, how to remove splinters, researching, ordering stock, how to catch spiders, advertising, marketing, general maintenance, painting, keeping a smile on your face, sustainable practices and dealing with stakeholders....amongst a plethora of other useful jobs!
Through my work as a hypnotherapist, certified crystal healer, sound activator and Ayurvedic yoga masseuse I have knowledge and experience in various therapies, energy, the healing benefits of sound and how to remove blockages and dis-ease within people. Plus, I know how to massage, who on Earth doesn't appreciate a good massage?!!
As an advocate of a vegan-lifestyle I have knowledge in this area and have held workshops to demonstrate the importance of good food choices in an attempt to help people lead a healthier, happier and more balanced life and help reduce the risk of creating blockages and dis-ease within the system that may lead to injury and sickness.
I love animals and have worked in a dog shelter in Barbados and have enjoy being around creatures of all variety.
I also hold a First Class Honours Degree in Hospitality and Business Management and NVQ's in Business Administration & Team Leading.
