I have extensive experience working with disabled adults via both hands on care and working in social services sensory support team working with profoundly Deaf people.

I have worked extensively with in "mainstream" service providers and seek to offer and merge "alternative" into "mainstream" whether it be in an educational, personal or professional setting.

Most notiably the people most embracing of the therapies as a personal support is the 45 plus, female sector.

I offer servies to help support individuals by reducing stress levels and improving personal performance..
Also specialising in Ante Natal and sudden disabilities.

In 2010 I have established a new business with Sharon Austin offering remedial equine clinics incorporating Animal Communication and EmoTrance please visit www.acet.uk.com for more information.

I currently work as a self employed trainer, and consultant complementary therapist.
I work with in groups, individual basis and offer consultation to corporations and small businesses how they might best offer a comprehensive package so they might get the best out of their work force byreducing long term sickness.

My company offers traditional, proven therapies with a modern approach. My dynamic company offers the benefits of complimentary therapies whilst reducing long term sickness and expectant parents hopefully a significantly less stressful pregnancy with Alternatively You Ante natal and post natal groups.
If you worry about feeling big, if labour hurts, will you be a good parent or the prospect of new responsibility is over whelming than Alternatively you is just when you need.
Why? Because every thought and every emotion is perfectly valid. There is no right or wrong, they are your emotions. So lets work with those emotions so the ones that rule are the good ones, that help us enjoy your personal journey to having that beautiful new baby!

Have you considered that by offering a holistic programme of counselling and complimentary therapies could significantly reduce your long term sick amongst your employees. Stress and other related illnesses account for 1/4 of the work force followed by bad back problems. So whats in it for you?
What about employing a group of practioners that offer counselling and complimentary therapies such as what i am qualified in to adress the problems, and lets face it regardless of whether the stress is work or home based it all costs... so which would be cheaper £40 a week or a full weeks wages with no return, you do the sums!

The therapies that I offer are all non invasive, and work amazingly well on their own, and along side modern medicine.

I hold regular groups and work shops working on self esteem, and learning to love and like oneself, because lets face it we are our own worst critics!

Reki practioner tuition also available.
Also provision and retail of crystals for healing.

Pampered Parties also offered

I worked as an assistant prationer in social services representing and supporting profoundly Deaf people whose firth language was British Sign Language.

Also responsible for sourcing independant areas of funding and services both with in and out side county borders.

Accurate record keeping and meetings arranged.
use of interpreters and support workers and advocates used.

Life skills provided and occasionally taught.
Due to the complexity of the language barrier and expectations services and support were often sourced "out side the box" this brought unexpected but enjoyable results.

Prior to joining social serivces in 2002 I worked as a care worker in John Grooms Court, a british charity established to support and house people with physical disabilities.
The home offered housing for 20 residents, all of whom had varying physical and mental needs.
The role of staff at John Grooms court was to de institutionalise those that lived there. Offering support and tuition regarding life skills and independent living.

There was a hight expectation that one provided a good standard of care, whislt encouraging where ever possible individuals to do as much as possible. Not easy when it could be quicker and easier to do it yourself.

Care plans, physical care, medication and close working with external agencies was necessary.
An excellent sense of humour and a desire to improve lives was essential.
