I have been practising Shiatsu for 14 years. I have concentrated on this beautiful, subtle, hands-on therapy. My strength is deep, nurturing touch, warm strong hands, thumbs that always find the pressure points that need to be treated. I have also learned to trust in my emotional empathy. When people come in frazzled, they go away with a relieved smile. When they have felt overwhelmed, they are clearer and more in control. To their surprise, very often backaches and headaches go, sore joints stop aching and digestion improves.

I have also been teaching Qigong in Frome for over 10 years. Qigong is a gentle, yet powerful combination of movement and stillness. It is similar to Tai Chi but you do not have to memorize a sequence. Suitable for all levels of fitness, it promotes self-healing. It has helped many people to feel centred, more energized, sleep better or be calmer, keep flexible, especially when older. Classes are calm, friendly and flexible in responding to people's needs.
