Lucy first became interested in Complementary/Holistic Therapies in her early twenties when she completed the ITEC level 3 Diploma in Swedish Massage and Anatomy and Physiology in 1998. She practiced as a Massage Therapist for a few years when her daughter was small and loved it. Unfortunately, due to a change in personal circumstances she needed to get a full time ‘proper’ job to enable her to pay the rent and bills.

After being made redundant from her ‘proper’ job after 14 long years Lucy hit perimenopause and the feelings of anxiety and depression ensued, she felt tearful, tired and lost her confidence and self-esteem. It was during this period of sleepless nights and what seemed like never-ending anxiety that she started to reignite her love for complementary therapies and treatments again. Her passion to practice as a Therapist came back with a huge bang; she particularly wanted to help women feel better. Lucy decided to requalify and update her skills and start practicing as a Professional Holistic Massage and Bodywork Therapist with a focus on Wellbeing for Women. She is delighted to be here and happy to be back doing what she loves.

It is Lucy’s belief that we cannot live a happy and meaningful life if we are disconnected and fragmented physically and mentally; that it is so important to look at all the elements of our health simultaneously.
