Having studied therapeutic massage during the first year of my degree in therapeutic bodywork, I ultimately discovered advanced abdominal massage techniques, having been introduced to The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®, an ancient form of healing taught in Belize and the USA by Dr. Rosita Arvigo, an American Naprapath.  I undertook my Professional training in 2007. Although I have trained in this, I no longer offer it as a separate therapy.

In 2009, I decided to embark on the Anatomy Trains Structural Integration training (ATSI), undertaking the three stage training in Oxfordshire, UK.  I graduated in 2012 and have been practicing Structural Integration and Bodywork ever since.

In September 2017, I travelled to the Stretch to Win Institute in Arizona to undertake the Level 1 training in Fascia Stretch Therapy™.  I undertook my Level 2 training in Arizona in October 2024. I hope to take my Level 3 in December this year in Arizona and then go on to take my Level 4 at some stage.

I have just gained my Rolfing certification, having trained at the European Rolfing Association in Munich.
