My work in holistic health began 20 years ago during my first visit to New Zealand while living in Auckland and raising my two children. A whole approach to health encourages both the body and mind to maintain a natural balance using the techniques of body meditation, therapeutic breathing,  aromatherapy, massage, cognitive therapies and reflexology.

Since March 2009 my role with the therapeutic team at Dove House supports my goal to expand awareness about integrative medicine to benefit communities.

Combining my qualifications in remedial massage and health psychology with prior business and interior design experience, I have worked as a therapist, consultant and trainer with health spa developers in England and Mauritius, my native country and in Canterbury, Central Otago and Taupo.

I have enjoyed working with the Merivale Physiotherapy Clinic in Christchurch, and have been a member of the International Council of Holistic therapist (UK) since 2000.

Some of my favourite things are family joys, my first granddaughter, walking, yoga, writing, nutrition and the arts.
