After training to be a secretary working in advertising & marketing companies I began to feel unsatisfied in my career so back in 1998, I retrained in complementary health. I am now qualified in Swedish Body Massage, Reflexology, Reiki Healing, Indian Head Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, VTCT Head Massage, Facial Reflexology, Advanced Facial Reflexology, Zone Face Lift and Facial Cupping.
Since learning complementary therapies they have helped my whole family including my son who has autism. His has a lot of subsidiary effects from his condition of which the medical profession cannot help. He has suffered from tics and general anxiety, trouble sleeping, has sensory problems and massage has helped him calm him down to relax and together with diet modifications his tics have gone! Having witnessed this myself, I am a strong believer in that complementary therapies, lifestyle and diet modifications have played an enormous role in his improvement of daily functioning. These are my experiences and every child is different. I have also seen people close to me with cancer turn to complementary therapies when the medical profession have done all they can do. It opens your eyes that there are other possibilities.
There are many conditions that manifest under times of stress. I have spent a lot of time discovering natural therapy which I believe is a powerful tool. The medical professional holds their place, I cannot fault the medical profession - however, in this modern day there are a lot of complaints that sometimes pills will just not help. It is at this point, like myself, that often leads you down an alternative route. Complementary therapies do not claim to cure, but they can help even if just to calm and relax, the body and mind work together - healthy mind, healthy body.
I live a very holistic life myself. I have a belief the body can only cope with so much of a poor diet, stress and toxicity before possible ill health. The therapies I have trained in are very safe therapies and almost anyone can benefit. They work wonders for many complaints..... Give the body a chance - it's your greatest natural healer!
