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 and Service Lead for Complementary Therapy, Cancer Services at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Trust. Looking ahead to 2026, I am excited to return to The Quiet Way full time and expand my services to include engaging workshops, specialised training programs, and expert leadership and strategy consultancy, designed to inspire wellbeing and empower organisations.
“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.”
