After many years commuting, working long hours and juggling the pressures of deadlines with home life and family, Amanda decided to leave that aspect of her life behind. Now she is able to help others to relieve their stress, aid health and to help them feel good about themselves.
Skills gained during her previous life of helping others in an office environment, within her Human Resources roles, are particularly useful in her new work life. Amanda’s continued focus of working with people is now with complementary therapies and yoga aimed at working with and helping people holistically in order for them to maintain the best health possible so that life can be enjoyed to it’s fullest.
Amanda aims to continually share her knowledge and experiences with others on this journey of life.
Amanda graduated from the School of Holistic Aromatherapy where she learned the professional practice of aromatherapy and the skill of massage and touch. Her studies also included the practical and theoretical knowledge of the therapeutic and healing properties of approximately 50 essential oils. Her aromatherapy studies focused on a holistic approach to work with, and, to be aware of energies of both client and herself.
Amanda is a registered and insured member with the International Federation of Aromatherapists (IFA). The IFA is the longest established organisation for professional aromatherapists worldwide, they set and maintain the highest standards in aromatherapy. Hot Stone Massage skills and techniques were acquired at an advanced massage workshop with the Middlesex School of Complementary Medicine. In addition she has attended a workshop to learn and apply Indian Head Massage.
