I began my journey in beauty and holistic therapies in 2004, studying at the Mary Reid International School of Beauty in Edinburgh, where I earned diplomas in Beauty and Body Treatments, including electrical therapies. I also achieved prestigious ITEC and CIDESCO International certifications.
My professional career started at The Balmoral Hotel, a 5-star luxury establishment in Edinburgh, where I specialised in ESPA body treatments and Jessica manicures and pedicures. After a year, I moved to the Holyrood Hotel, a 4-star hotel, where I trained in Decleor products and treatments.
To continually expand my expertise, I trained in Indian Head Massage at the Krysalis Training Academy, as well as Thai Massage and Thai Reflexology at the renowned ITM International Thai Massage School in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in 2006.
In 2009, I transitioned to self-employment, offering therapies at the Lexden Retreat while training in Microdermabrasion with Crystal Clear and working with Nimue products. My career then took me to Peru, where I lived in Arequipa and Cusco, working at the stunning Samana Spa Hotel.
In 2011, I moved to Mancora, northern Peru, where I lived for 2.5 years. During that time, I became a Reiki Master, earned a Spanish diploma through the Open University, and completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training course with Drishti Teacher Training at Samana Chakra Hotel. I later taught yoga and offered holistic treatments to guests there.
Continuing my education, I completed a Yin Yoga Intensive course in London with Norman Blair in 2013, deepening my understanding of yoga principles and meridian theory. I then spent time in the surfing town of Lobitos, Peru, in 2014, where I offered massage, yoga classes, and Reiki courses at Las 3 Cabanas.
In 2015, I became certified as a Baby Massage and Baby Yoga instructor with Hands on Babies, and in 2017, I specialized in Yoga for Scoliosis, training with Elise Miller at the Iyengar Yoga Institute in San Francisco.
For five years, I worked in Colchester, England, offering yoga classes, holistic therapies, and accredited courses through London Therapists. During this time, I also created a YouTube channel dedicated to yoga, launching a "30 Days of Yoga Challenge" in January 2019.
Currently, I live in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where I offer massage workshops and courses. With a wealth of international experience and a deep commitment to personal and professional growth, I look forward to sharing my knowledge and passion for holistic health with you.
There are many benefits from practicing yoga every day, and it isn't always possible to attend a class. Therefore I have created some FREE online yoga classes on my YouTube Channel, to help motivate you and guide you at home. Please click here to see a list of classes
