I have always been deeply passionate about health and wellbeing, a journey that began in the sports and leisure industry where I gained valuable experience in various administrative and management roles. At 24, following the unexpected loss of my father, I took time off to travel, a transformative period that not only helped me navigate my grief but also opened my eyes to diverse cultures, spiritual traditions, and holistic health approaches.
Over two years, I explored Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. It was during this time that I embraced practices like Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, and experienced the wonders of Thai yoga massage. This journey ignited a strong desire to become a therapist, fuelled by a passion to share the practices that had made such a profound impact on my life.
In 2000, I graduated from the University of Westminster, London with a BSc in Health Sciences and Complementary Therapies. This education provided a solid foundation for my practice, blending intuitive understanding with the knowledge of Western science and Eastern traditional systems. Over the next few years, I dedicated myself to personal development and practitioner training, whilst continuing to explore different parts of the world, understanding how different cultures experience and treat illness and promote wellness.
As I developed my practice, I brought therapies into the corporate world and enjoyed many seasons working at some of the UK’s largest music festivals. Between 2010 and 2013, I volunteered with the charity Healing Hands Network, offering therapies to civilian survivors of war in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Each year, we’d spend two weeks offering therapies and I was touched by the dignity and grace of the people, despite the horrors they endured.
After a family member was diagnosed with leukaemia my interest in Cancer Care developed. I worked as an Aromatherapist for Sue Ryder and completed a Diploma in Adapting Complementary Therapies in Cancer and Supportive Care from The Christie NHS Trust in Manchester. Soon after, in 2013, I secured my first full-time position as a Cancer and Palliative Care Complementary Therapist at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust in London.
I moved to UCLH Macmillan Cancer Centre, London as Service Manager/Senior Complementary Therapist covering sabbatical leave. My next NHS oncology and palliative care experience was as an Integrated Therapist and Tutor at The Christie NHS Trust in Manchester between 2020-2025.
In between NHS contracts, I founded The Quiet Way and at the same time completed my Mindful Yin Yoga teacher training. Soon after qualifying, I had the pleasure of living and working at the award-winning retreat and yoga teacher training centre, Suraylila, in Andalucía, Spain, for one year.
‘The Quiet Way’ name was conceived on a car journey from London to Berkshire. I said, “I work quietly, there is unspoken communication through touch, I am the quiet way”. The hairs on my arm stood up, I knew I had my business name!
Returning to Berkshire in 2025, I welcomed contracts as Complementary Therapy Coordinator at Princess Alice Hospice, Surrey, followed by Service Lead for Complementary Therapy, Cancer Services at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Trust.
Into 2026 I returned to The Quiet Way full time, broadening the work I offer to include Lymphatic Drainage Massage, working with adults with Learning Disabilities living in Residential Care and Supported Living in Berkshire and developing a new methodology called ‘The Compass’, a gentle framework for finding your way back to yourself in a world that never stops asking for more.
“At the heart of my practice is an intention to create an environment where you feel comfortable and safe. A place where you can take a breath, slow down and rest and release or dissolve, a pain or hurt, and welcome wellness.”
