My story so far ........
In 2007 after working in an office for many years I started a new career as a Youth Worker. In 2013 after completing a HNC in Social Care and SVQ 3 Children and Young People I moved onto work with Looked After and Accommodated Children. Working with young people that have suffered from neglect, abuse and trauma can have an adverse effect on your own emotional well-being. After having complementary therapies myself, which I found reduced my stress levels and improved my mood I started to look into therapies and their healing benefits and decided to do a 2 year diploma course in 2016, the course consisted of 1 year Swedish Massage at Practitioner level and 1 year Clinical Reflexology at Practitioner level. I have been able to use massage techniques with some of the young people that I work with, which I have found has had a calming effect especially with one young boy with autism. I am looking forward to continuing with my personal development and learning new therapies some of which I hope to bring to you all soon.
