Unsurprisingly, this led to a spell of depression and associated stress and tension. This in turn led on to a raft of physical aches and pains. The situation was not helped at all by also having hyper mobile joints which means that most of my joints move beyond a normal range causing frequent tweaks, pulls and minor injuries. It took many years to unwind all the stuff going on in my body. Indeed it’s still an ongoing journey for me which I manage with regular therapy sessions myself. When I reflect back though I find I do so with gratitude. I was lucky enough to discover so many forms of therapy – physical, talking, herbal and natural – that helped get me where I am today, and the two that I found really amazing were Reflexology and The Bowen Technique. Time for a change of direction in life and in 2003 I qualified in Reflexology followed by the Bowen Technique in 2010. Having worked with the therapies part-time for years I took the leap to become a full time therapist at the beginning of 2016.
