I have always had an affinity with holistic therapies such as massage, acupressure and Aromatherapy, which was nurtured during my childhood raised with an Indian heritage. In our ancestral home, on the outskirts of Kolkata, India, we lived as an extended family, thirty or more members and many children. The home had a big courtyard with a temple within it and its own lake. There were long balconies and rooftops, for us all to play, study, celebrate life and festivals as well as occasionally the mourning of passed relatives. Massage and scents are used extensively from birth through to the end of life. We would bathe and swim in the lake, wash and be massaged with various oils, there were always the smells of Neem, sandalwood, Rose, Jasmine filling the air, and our home with incense sticks and scented burners. There were other smells of spices from the wonderful cooking and the abundant smell of roses, carnations, lilies, hibiscus, and lotus flowers for the garlands (Malas) and pujas.

I have an extensive background in Psychology and Health and Social Care, Where I have carried out roles which required sensitivity, empathy as well as resilience, to enable me to support or advocate for people who have had difficulties or been in vulnerable situations. I have also worked within multidisciplinary teams which involved teams working with clients from a variety of modalities and have seen how reflexology and other body work has achieved great results, enabling Clients to feel more relaxed and connected to themselves and others. Together all these influences and experiences add to my reflexology practice.

I am an experienced and empathetic reflexologist who is passionate about helping people through Reflexology.
