Personal Statement
I am an experienced holistic health practitioner, self-motivated, energetic, enthusiastic, dedicated, and commited to my profession. I can work just as well in a team as I can independently.
I am confident in my own abilities as a therapist and enjoy developing personal and professional skills. Keen to learn from the best and happy to share my knowledge, experience and skills. I have a lot to give, and looking to gain more knowledge and skills through practice.
I love what I do and I've often been told that it doesn't just show, but it produces a marked improvement to my client's sense of satisfaction, health and wellbeing.
I'm open to opportunities in the corporate environment, ready to provide stress management solutions and staff wellness programmes.
Very keen on learning spa rituals and providing deeply relaxing, luxuriant and indulgent treatments on land or at sea.
Interested in work opportunities in London, UK and abroad, on land or at sea.
My ideal job? I would like it to satisfy my love of travel, learning about other cultures, especially their health and healing traditions and rituals, which would ensure my further professional development and feed my passion for holistic health, fitness and wellbeing

Hobbies and Interests
Fairly dynamic by nature, I enjoy travel and physical exercise, I go to gym, yoga and dance classes to keep fit, healthy and energetic.
My interest and enjoyment of health & fitness is one of the reasons I decided to enrol on a full year Level 3 Sports Massage Therapy Diploma course (2010-2011), which has added a very useful range of skills and techniques to my bodywork practice.
Although I work mostly from a physiotherapy clinic, I love the spa environment and sometimes blend bath salts, massage balms and butters, lotions and potions to pamper myself and my clients. I would love to learn spa rituals and treatments, and I'm keen to find a position in a spa that uses natural and organic products.
