Launch first week of November - details to follow. Summary of achievements
- 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. Future Plans
- build another thriving massage practice in Calderdale, my home for twenty years
- integrate the learning and depth generated by my engagements with meditation, dance and Integral philosophy
- complete a full training in Psychotherapy
- build an integrated bodywork and psychotherapy practice
