I became interested in holistic medicine, talking therapies and natural healing through my own journey over 20 years ago, developing a belief that our lives sometimes become dominated by stress, pain or unfortunate life events and yet there is a way that we can naturally begin to restore the balance to our physical bodies and minds.
