- Founded and managed a thriving massage practice, 'Bodywork', at Organic House, Hebden Bridge

- Developed bodywork skills to a high level in group led by Gerry Pyves, creator of No Hands Massage

I developed a successful massage practice grown through of client recommendation. I have a reputation for powerful and effective bodywork, helping to raise the profile and status of massage to its rightful place of pre-eminence among therapies, as the medicine of our primal sense of touch. My level of skill and training enables me to deliver on a whole range of structural and functional therapeutic contracts. My particular interest is in massage for personal development, a powerful and safe way for clients to experience their deeper self and take this enrichment and expansion into their lives.
