I am a travelling complementary therapist and my treatments include Indian Head, Reiki, Reflexology, Holistic, No Hands and Swedish techniques, Aromatherapy Massage and Craniosarcal Therapy (CST). I also work from the Blue Lotus (in Scorrier Redruth) or Country Stores Health Foods (also in Redruth).

My passion to want to help people with all type of conditions and illness has driven me to open a drop in clinic with treatment prices to cater for people who need or want complementary therapy that are on low incomes. The drop in clinic is on Tuesdays between 10am – 12pm at the Country Store Health Foods.

These treatments include:

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) – The essence of listening to the body's pulsations and patterns of motions through the practitioners hands. It helps the body reflect to heal itself. Indian Head Massage – This can restore energy as well as settle the mind, which could improve concentration levels; to help you focus. It could also reduce mental, physical and emotional stress caused by everyday living. Reflexology – This therapy can release tension and remove blockages, allowing this energy to flow freely again to promote healing of both relaxation and stimulation, which has a balancing effect. Reiki – This is about working with the universal energy to re-line and bring balance back to the body and mind. It can help with mental and emotional complaints and compliments orthodox medicine. I have often found the need to use a mix of the therapies above to gain the result the clients body needs.

This has helped me develop a better understanding of how to help cancer patients and palliative care with therapy.

This is to gain further knowledge improving me even further as a therapist.I have been living in Cornwall for the last three years and obtained a Complementary Therapy Foundation Degree in 2008.
