• 2007 – 2012.

Following on from this, I then moved on to support families with multiple and complex needs.
• 2013 -2023.  I found NO HANDS® massage and immediately, I knew that this was the right thing for me to do.  NO HANDS® massage not only taught me to be able to deliver deep and powerful massage without injury to my clients or myself. It also enabled me to work with clients in an holistic way, offering solutions to meet each individual client’s needs.  NO HANDS massage offered so much more than just learning techniques and strokes.  I have found NO HANDS to be a comprehensive and truly holistic approach to helping people be well, on every level i.e. Physically, Energetically, Emotionally, Mentally and Spiritually.  In fact, I found NO HANDS massage so beneficial for both clients and for therapists, that I became an instructor so that I could help other massage therapists learn how to use this for themselves.
