Experience
&
Professional Bodies
Many years ago I had worked in a nursery, a shoe shop, youth work (including teaching school students about relationships and drugs/alcohol), a pub, a café and a veterinary practice; a nice broad spectrum of employments!
In the more recent past…
I have worked in mental health since 2015. My role varied from recovery worker to acting up deputy manager in care homes for people with severe and complex mental health problems. It was here that I started a relaxation group. I continued to deliver these groups through my mental health nursing placements and now as a nurse with the use of meditation, crystals and more!
Massage and the other complimentary therapies were studied along side working full time as a recovery worker, student or qualified nurse. Reiki has been a part of my life since 2017 and when possible I meet other reiki practitioners and do reiki shares to keep developing and learning. As a nurse I have completed training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness. I have worked in mental health for 8 years now and have been running my complimentary therapy business for around 3 years! I have now finished training with the NHS to become a therapist.
