My interest in natural plant remedies and complementary therapies led me to become a therapist.
I have over 20 years' experience in herbal medicine, aromatherapy, massage and reflexology, including providing treatments, teaching and running workshops in the UK and abroad.

As part of my commitment to serving the local community, I worked as an activity leader during after-school sessions. This involved providing massages to secondary school pupils to help relieve mental stress.

Furthermore, I have worked as an honorary complementary therapist with the Dimbleby Cancer Care Team at Guy’s Cancer Centre (part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust) in London Bridge since 2024, providing reflexology and aromatherapy treatments.

I have also written many articles about herbal medicines and published a book on the subject titled British Herbal Medicine and Healing. It is now in its third successful edition for Japanese readers. My second book on herbal medicine was also published in 2013.

I am constantly trying to build on my knowledge and experience in the fields of Herbal Medicine, Aromatherapy, Massage and Reflexology for my professional practice and my own improvement.
