About the practitioner

I became interested in massage over thirty years ago, when I was taught informally by a therapist practising Swedish massage and in 1991 I began training in therapeutic massage. I gained my qualification in sports and remedial massage with Active Massage in 2002, since when I have broadened my knowledge into using acupressure for chair massage, myofascial release techniques and the use of ‘Kinesiotape’ for injuries and lymphoedema.

I treat clients in clinics and also at home by arrangement, and on site at sport, theatre, musical and charitable venues. I became a fully qualified Dr Vodder School MLD and CDT practitioner in 2003, having first came across Manual Lymph Drainage in an article about the lack of information and help in this country for women who develop lymphoedema after surgery for breast cancer, and discovering as I trained that MLD also works very effectively with many other conditions.

I am also currently the only practitioner in Britain trained and qualified to use Manual Lymph Drainage with horses, for more information about this, please visit my website: www.equinemld.com
