4 Darleydale Close, Sandhurst, Berkshire. GU47 0YF
Over 25 years experience. Therapist, trainer and industry advisor.
My main aim is to help people feel better when leaving my treatment room than they arrived! Whether that be helping with physical or emotional pain, rebalancing your body systems or advising on skincare. I’ve spent the last 25 years developing and teaching my various therapies. Whenever I am looking to do something that involves my body I look for experience and knowledge first of all to make that decision.
My business has emerged in two parts, original Beauty Therapy and Holistic and Complementary therapies that I have added over the last twenty years. I particularly appreciate the variety this brings.
I know how lovely it is to find a bit of 'me' time in my schedule. This is where I come in to help you. Local and convenient , with my bespoke, private ground floor treatment room. I pride myself on creating a beautiful zone where you can chill out and feel at ease on my comfortable fully electric couch or from 2024 you can choose to work on line with me.
There is ample parking on the drive. It is just five paces from the front door to the treatment room.
I am trained with International Health and Beauty Council (IHBC) , International Institute of Health and Holistic Therapists (IIHHT) and the Craniosacral Therapy Edication Trust. I am a member of the Association of Reflexologists (AoR) and British Association of Beauty Therapists and Cosmetologists (BABTAC). Some people with private health policies may be able to claim for some of my treatments.
I have had to develop some clear business terms and conditions, please read through to the end of this page to see them. By booking with me you are agreeing to them.
During over twenty five years working in salons, hotel spas and teaching I’ve had the great privilege to train with many of the top brands as a facial skincare expert. I offer a relaxing results driven iCon non-surgical facelift, which feel amazing. I am an Eve Taylor skincare stockist and am qualified to give skincare advice. Clients are able to benefit from the direct supply chain.
I offer top quality beauty treatments for ladies away from the hustle of the high street. Primarily offering skincare and waxing.
One of my passions (if you want to call it that !) is putting ladies at ease for intimate waxing. I am a Kim Lawless trained (literally one of the best waxing trainers you can get) and have reached the level of expert waxer. No need to be shy, I’ve seen it all before !
Another passion is Reflexology. I have regularly added to my training and incorporated specialist reflexology techniques, for supporting pre-conception (fertility), supporting pregnancy, post-natal and mindfulness for emotional issues. I have also completed post graduate oncology reflexology training to support those living with and beyond cancer. I am a member of the Association of Reflexology, which means I have attended an approved training course and meet their stringent professional criteria.
I am continually updating my knowledge and skills by regularly attending continual professional development to keep up with the changes in the industry. In 2020 I qualified in Craniosacral therapy after attending a two year, 700 hours practitioner training course at the esteemed Craniosacral Therapy Education Trust in London. I have also completed post-graduate training in working with pregnancy, mothers and babies in Craniosacral Therapy. I adore helping babies and their parents.
