 Welcome to Retreat@SW15! I have always had a very keen sense of smell and noticed how evocative aromas could be; a waft of jasmine transports me back to the Greek Islands, Lapsang Souchong tea conjures up images of log fires in sleepy country villages in winter and cut grass reminds me that warmer weather is on its way. My collection of essential oils finally reached the point where I decided to invest in a professional course to learn how to use them properly! This led me to the Institute of Traditional Herbal Medicine & Aromatherapy in beautiful Regents Park, where I qualified in Holistic Clinical Aromatherapy & Therapeutic Massage (with Oriental diagnosis). Initially intending just to teach product-making workshops and to develop my own range of products, I found that I also really enjoyed the treatment aspect of the course and I have since gone on to study Holistic facials, Indian Head massage, Pregnancy massage, Reiki and Meditation and I now run my own clinics in Putney and Richmond, offering tailor-made treatments for my clients. I very firmly believe in a holistic approach to treatments and feel that we should respect and be grateful for what our bodies do for us, making time to take care of ourselves to the best of our abilities with fresh food, adequate exercise and healing & nurturing therapies. It may be the case that we already have issues such as anxiety, depression, IBS, insomnia or muscular aches & pains, all of which can benefit enormously from massage or reiki; or it may be that you are in good health in which case treatments will act as a preventative measure, ensuring that you will be strongly placed to fend off those pesky viruses and other ailments that we may become prone to, when overtired, stressed and generally run down. So, either way, invest in some "Me Time"; your mind, body and spirit will thank you for it!
