My interest in therapies began in 1986 when I participated in a course designed to help people with various eye conditions including my own. I increased my general knowledge of holistic therapies at evening class. I took early retirement approximately 6 years ago which gave me the time to gain qualifications in Swedish Massage, Sports Massage, Remedial Massage, Reflexology and Indian Head Massage.
