About Emily

I became a therapist after being involved in teaching – in schools, adult education and prisons - for many years.

I originally thought I would become a psychotherapist and completed a certificate in Pyschodynamic counselling and groupwork, and trained and worked with Norwich Rape Crisis and Relate.

But the lure of the body was too strong!

And in 2003 I gained my professional practitioner's qualification in Holistic Massage, Anatomy and Physiology and Pathology with the Massage Training Institute (MTI). I supplemented this by attending several courses in Dynamic Massage with Darien Pritchard from 2003 to 2006.

I started receiving referrals from the Wymondham Chiropractor Clinic in 2004; and was voted "Massage Worlds' Therapist of the Year" in 2004. Also in 2004, I took an Advanced Massage course with Alison Rostron which included Trigger Point Massage, and Sports Massage techniques.

In 2005 I qualified as an aromatherapist by gaining a Diploma in Aromatherapy with the International Therapy Examination Council (ITEC). I also studied with the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) to become a Certified Infant Massage Instructor qualified to run baby massage courses.

I studied Indian Head Massage with Rosemary Williams in 2006.

In 2007 I launched my massage teaching: I offer individually tailored sessions for people wishing to learn how to massage friends and family members. See massage courses page for more details.

I also attended "Massage – working with people with cancer" at the Penny Brohn Cancer Centre (Formerly Bristol Cancer Care Centre).

In 2009 I received my Diploma in Natural Nutrition from the College of Natural Nutrition; and qualified in Colon Hydrotherapy at The National College of Colon Hydrotherapy. I am a member of The Association of Registered Colon Hydrotherapists http://www.colonic-association.org/

I am qualified as a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner in 2011 and have studied advanced Thai Yoga massage with Kira Balaskas http://www.thaiyogamassage.co.uk/school.html

I am currently training to be a Journey Practitioner http://www.thejourney.com/reviews/
