About Katy

The challenges I faced with my own health as a teenager led me to the path I take today of complementary and holistic therapies. Although initially I followed a career in nature conservation and environmental projects my health issues caught up with me and it became obvious that a change of direction was needed and so my complementary therapy career began in 1994. 

My journey and discovery of the comfort that complementary care can bring began with an introduction to palliative care during a hospice work placement, where I was able to witness firsthand the transformative effects of holistic care on patients facing life’s most challenging moments.

Driven by those early experiences, for many years I combined my work in private practice with volunteering as a therapist at a local hospice, thereby deepening my understanding of palliative care whilst exploring a wide range of complementary therapies.  I then transitioned to become a complementary therapies coordinator at a local hospice, leading a team of dedicated therapists to provide holistic support to patients, their families, and hospice staff.

I believe wholeheartedly in the integration of complementary and conventional medicine and recognise that true healing encompasses emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions; my approach is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves personalised care that honours their unique needs and preferences. By connecting with patients on a sensory and holistic level we empower them to take an active role in their health journey, restoring balance and fostering a renewed sense of wellbeing.

Today my qualifications include Clinical Aromatherapy, Therapeutic Massage, Clinical Reflexology, master-level Reiki and Clinical Hypnotherapy, allowing me to bring a wealth of experience and a blend of techniques to every treatment.

How can I help?

A natural extension of my hospice work has been informing and teaching those with caring responsibilities how to perform gentle yet effective treatments that can be safely practiced at home for times when travel is simply not practical.

As these requests for one on one, in person, training increased I decided to continue my palliative care work using a different methodology; now I bring my tranquil holistic therapy practice directly to you in your home and complement this by sharing my knowledge via one to one training with carers.

If you’re in need of solace and determined to do your best to reclaim your inner peace I will assist. Working with those who are firmly committed to their own personal healing, who want to improve their quality of life and are ready to embrace change is my biggest joy.
