About Mandy


I have 16 years experience in the field of Complementary Therapies and as a Holistic Therapist. I initially trained in reiki levels one & two in 1999. An I.T.E.C. diploma in anatomy, physiology and massage followed in 2001. In the same year I gained my reflexology diploma with the Association of Reflexologists with whom I am a member. I also gained a diploma in Indian head massage with IIHHT in the same year. Since then I have continued to regularly further develop my knowledge and skills and have undertaken many post graduate courses to advanced level.

I chose to change my career after 11 years working for Social Services as a residential care officer. My own personal journey to better health, enlightened me that I should be following a less stressful life as well as a fulfilling path.
I reduced my stress levels, enhanced my personal well-being and became more creative, empowered and productive in all aspects of my life.

Inspired by my own journey of development I feel a strong desire to share with others that you can heal yourself naturally and achieve optimum health and well-being by discovering the dynamic potential of the human being.

Holistic Health


Holistic healing is a complimentary therapy with an approach to good health that considers all aspects of a person. The holistic approach to health looks for 'wholeness' and 'balance'. A way of life chosen to promote optimum health and well-being. For example, should a physical symptom such as migraine be presented I would consider all possibilities for cause which encompasses all aspects of the person; emotional and mental states; stress and outlook on life, diet, exercise, lifestyle and the spiritual. Added to this, conventional information such as health history and innoculations, ancestral health history, general physical health, operations and medications.

The holistic approach to a condition does not necessarily treat directly the physical symptoms. Like taking a pain killer to lessen the pain of migraine. The symptoms can be masked but the cause can be found elsewhere. There could be a deeper underlying issue 'hiding' somewhere within the 'whole' of the person which needs to be uncovered.

After the first holistic treatment people have reported a relief from their symptoms, coupled with a sense of wholeness & balance. Even bliss!

Holistic living is an enlightening, empowering journey of self-discovery which unfolds the dynamic potential of the human being. We really are all 'unique' with unique talents and unique paths. It is a journey of personal discovery and growth which brings with it optimum health, happiness and abundance...... We truly have the ability to heal ourself

Massage Therapies


Massage has been found to improve circulation, skin tone and condition, promote lymphatic circulation, joint range-of-motion, flexibility and healing.


Massage can reduce many common ailments such as stress, muscle tightness, aches and pains.
By enabling the muscles to return to their natural healthy state enables blood to circulate, delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and effiecient removing of toxins and waste from cells. Therefore, massage can promote proper nerve functioning enabling optimum performance of the organs and systems of the body including healthy lymphatic drainage of the body boosting the immune system.

Massage de-stresses the mind and emotions as well as the body and can reduce anxiety - even depression. Massage releases key chemicals such as endorphins to induce relaxation.
Deep seated emotions and fears can fester about the cells of the body. This can create blockages inhibiting the correct functioning of organs and systems such as the nervous system and muscles. This can affect the way we think and from where we see things.
Holistic and complementary approach to health use the body’s own healing mechanism to assist healing and ease symptoms of pain.
Massage can provide an invaulable investment in health and well-being.
Experience deep healing from the power of touch

Reflexology Therapies


CRANIO-SACRAL REFLEXOLOGY (CSR)

I specialise in Cranio Sacral Reflexology to advanced level.

CSR has all the benefits of Reflexology and Craniosacral Therapy by working through the reflex points of the feet. And can be even more powerful in its effect.

CSR may assist a multitude of conditions. It could be beneficial for example; the treatment of whiplash, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, migraines, stroke, Multiple Sclerosis.

I deliver a firm and intuitiative manipulation of the points of the feet that correspond to the cerebral fluid that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord.

CSR can be used as a preventive treatment to enhance the body's natural ability to heal and as with all reflexology promotes deep relaxation.

As with all 'deep' body work, CSR may release deep ‘stuck’ energy blocks, thereby, releasing emotional blockages as well as those on the mental, physical and spiritual levels.

I was trained to advanced level by Martine Faure-Alderson, D.O.,. who pioneered and developed CranioSacral Reflexology. Martine trained under Dr Upledger who pioneered CranioSacral therapy. Martine is the founder of the Total Reflexology school in Paris.
She is an inspiration to work with and a truly wise, loving and compassionate human being. Plus a really 'yummy' chef too!

A brief history of Reflexology

Reflexology in the Western hemisphere was developed in the 1930's by the American Eunice Ingram. Images of the feet being treated can be seen in ancient
Egyptian hierogliphics.
Chinese reflexology was developed over two thousand years ago.

The benefits of reflexology has been recognised by many of the conventional medical professionals with many GPs recommending reflexology as a complimentary treatment.

Sekhem/Seichem/Reiki


Sekhem/Seichem/Reiki (SSR) healing system is truly holistic as it promotes healing by the balancing of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.

In common with all these healing systems is that they work using the life creating and healing power of universal light rays and through simple love, unconditional, transformational, healing loving energy. These energies can never hurt or harm....only heal

Once attuned to the ancient symbols by a Sekhem/Seichem/Reiki master the healer is enabled to draw the universal healing energy of light through their body and pass this on to the recipient by placing their hands on or near them. Can also be used effectively for distant healing.

Reiki (RAY-KEY) A Japanese word meaning Universal-Life-Force-Energy

The Japanese Monk and philosopher Dr Mikao Usai discovered this ancient and protected secret form of healing during his time in Tibet in the late19th Centuary whilst searching for an answer to how healers such as 'jesus' healed. Dr Hayashi studied directly under Dr Usai.
Reiki was brought to America and the Western hemisphere by Dr Hayashi's student Mrs Takata just prior to World War II.

Seichem (Say-Keym) Sanskrit character meaning
Living-Light-Energy


A feminine, compassionate healing energy that works primarily on the heart chakra and emotional bodies. Discovered in the later part of the 20th century by the american healer Patrick Zeigler whilst on a trip to the Egyptian pyramids.

Sekhem (Say-Kem) translated as meaning Power or Might

Sekhem is a multi-dimentional healing energy founded around the later part of the 20th century at about the same time as Seichem by Helen Belot.

Sekhem is thought to have pre-dated Reiki or Seichem as a healing system, taught and used by the high priests in the sacred temples during the early period of Ancient Egypt, according to ancient Egyptian scrolls.

Reiki and Seichem are believed to have derived from Sekhem.
It is also belived to have been used earlier in the temples of Lemuria and Atlantis.
Sekhem is related to the Egyptian 'lion headed' Goddess Sekhmet. The Goddess Sekhmet was revered for her dynamic, feminine healing. She is also known as the goddess of destruction. Destruction understood as
transformation and ridding the self of old habits and thoughts which no longer serve.

About my lineage

I am attuned to all three of these healing modalities to second degree level.
I was taught and received my attunment from the Sekhem/Seichem/Reiki Master Julliete Bryant. The unique combination of healing energies of Sekhem, Reiki and Seichem are channelled through me and assist how ever and where ever their specific healing energy is needed. Together these three energies provide a powerful trinity of holistic healing.

The experience is powerfully healing, grounding and often deeply spiritual for all participants.
