My wish is to assist you to be the best version of yourself, by providing you with the opportunity to experience deep relaxation. In this relaxed state your body has the opportunity to tap in to its own healing abilities and restore a state of balance where it is able to.

After a fabulously varied career as a professional musician, music teacher, primary school teacher and also some time in retail, I decided to study Reflexology. This was a fulfilment of a long time dream for me, as the seed for my fascination in Reflexology was planted as a teenager. A family friend 'magically massaged' away an annoying headache by working various areas of my feet. Looking back I realise that along the journey of my life, the Reflexology 'seed' was being nurtured and my training had begun right back then, as I always seemed to be presented with feet to 'rub'. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you to achieve your health and wellness goals.

Since completing the studies for my Diplomas in Reflexology, and Anatomy and Physiology, I have continued adding to my services and skill set by attending further training courses with local and visiting practitioners/teachers.

I discovered my love of Reflexology when I received my first Reflexology session at the age of 22. Since then I have travelled the world as an International Flight Attendant, and enjoyed experiencing and learning about the various styles of therapeutic Reflexology. This has helped me to discover and develop my own style which I would describe as a gentle, nurturing, relaxing approach.

I believe this style of Reflexology melts your body into a deep state of relaxation great for anyone that needs to destress in today’s challenging living and working environments. Most of find us ourselves getting stuck in the Fight and Flight mode. Let me help you activate your parasympathetic nervous system Rest and Digest and bring you back into balance.

Reflexology performed by a skilled professional is among the most relaxing therapies, it gently nudges the body towards its own innate healing process. As a practitioner I work with care, compassion, and mindfulness, understanding the unique power and transformative potential that can be unleashed through this treatment technique promoting health and wellbeing unique to the individual.

My goal is to create the space within you that allows for relaxation, healing, and wellness to happen.

I was introduced to reflexology while living in my hometown of Antrim, Northern Ireland, at a time when my body was under significant stress. My first treatment regulated my nervous system in a way nothing else had and I knew immediately this was something I wanted to learn and offer to others.

We live in a fast-paced, sympathetic-driven world that keeps our bodies constantly activated. Many people are unknowingly living in chronic fight-or-flight, which over time impacts sleep, energy, emotional regulation, and overall wellbeing. My work focuses on supporting the body to shift out of this state and return to the parasympathetic nervous system, where rest, repair, and healing can occur.

Reflexology is not simply about relaxation. When the nervous system is supported, the body is better able to regulate itself, build resilience, and respond to stress in healthier ways. This work is grounded in science and in the body’s innate intelligence. When the body feels safe, it knows how to heal.

I am deeply passionate about health and wellbeing and creating a calm, nurturing space where clients feel genuinely supported. I offer calm, restorative sessions that meet your nervous system exactly where it is, helping your body feel balanced and held. My intention is that you leave feeling steadier, more resilient, and better equipped to meet the demands of everyday life.

I completed my Diploma in Reflexology and Level 5 Anatomy and Physiology in 2020 and continue to develop my knowledge and skills through ongoing learning and practice.
