Based in Scotton, Harrogate, offering nervous system support through personalised massage and hypnotherapy for relaxation, anxiety and wellbeing. Working not only with the body, but also with the more subtle energetic and emotional patterns held within it.

I work with people who are carrying a lot.

Many of my clients are women who are supporting children, parents, partners, workplaces — while navigating perimenopause or menopause themselves. Many are carers, used to being the reliable one, the strong one, the
​one who copes. Over time, that level of responsibility can take a quiet toll on the nervous system, sleep, mood, confidence, and health.

My work is about helping you feel steadier, calmer, and more like yourself again — not by pushing harder, but by working at the level where change actually happens.


A grounded approach to change


I have been a  licensed massage therapist since 2001 and, more recently, a licensed  hypnotherapist and a professional member of the National Hypnotherapy Society. Hypnotherapy allows us to work directly with subconscious patterns that drive anxiety, overwhelm, people-pleasing, emotional burnout, and stress-related symptoms — without having to endlessly analyse or relive everything.


This approach is particularly supportive during perimenopause and menopause, when hormonal changes can amplify stress responses and make familiar coping strategies feel less effective.


My style is calm, collaborative, and respectful. There is no pressure to “go deep” before you’re ready, and no expectation that you explain or justify how you feel.



Hands-on therapies that support the nervous system


Alongside hypnotherapy, I offer massage therapy, facials, and Reiki. These treatments are not about indulgence or fixing you — they are about regulation, rest, and restoration.


My background includes over two decades of hands-on therapeutic work, which has given me a deep understanding of how stress, emotion, and lived experience show up in the body. For many clients, combining talking and non-talking therapies is what allows them to finally settle, reset, and integrate change.


Reiki is offered in a simple, grounded way — as a gentle supportive therapy rather than a belief system. You don’t need to be “spiritual” to benefit from it.



What clients often notice


Clients often tell me they feel:
• calmer and less reactive
• clearer in their thinking
• better able to cope with ongoing demands
• more at home in their bodies
• more rested, even when life is still busy


My aim is not to take responsibility away from you, but to help you meet your life with more internal support and less depletion.



A note on how I work:


I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Each session is shaped around you — your needs, your capacity, and where you are right now. This is especially important for women and carers who are already giving so much to others.


My work is trauma-aware, nervous-system informed, and paced with care.


If you’re tired of holding it all together, you’re very welcome here.
