About SMARTfoundations -Meet the Team

Our mission is to promote wellness and prevent stress. We support health promotion in society and think all people deserve health and happiness. SMARTfoundations positive psychology 'It's all about you!' builds on the following beliefs: Your time is important and using practical psychologies you can learn more in 5 minutes than you might in a day driven by theory.

We know the time you invest in learning does not always mean you learn more! It's all about you - really - we help the change process happen rapidly by highlighting that 'winning with well-being' is in the customers own best interest. Research is on our side - really the proof is in the pudding! We create our world by how we think, act and speak - our mind is the experiment and like any good scientist we choose it's direction.

Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint we know they have a unique mind and we celebrate individual differences. We think the mind needs as much attention as the body. Think Mind Massage instead of Deep Tissue Massage - giving it attention regularly reaps great health benefits.

I primarily work as massage and EFT therapist working in and around Brighton. I love teaching massage whether that’s sports, shiatsu, head and shoulder or Japanese. A core part of my training is to teach clients self massage. I have developed over 20 years of treating a unique system of 'body memory therapy' which I use with a small number of clients who wish to work deeply into their relationship between the underlying emotional reasons for their physical conditions.

I’ve trained in healthy cooking and have had the pleasure of serving up delicious nutritious food to whole range of clients including ‘Hollywood’ A-listers! I am totally passionate about healthy living and teaching others what I have learned works. I meditate every morning and feel it is the most important thing I do for myself. I also start the day with a fresh vegetable juice and enjoy really healthy food.

I love: my children with a passion, walking in the nature and drawing it, (nature really relaxes me – I paint and draw in my spare time and occasionally exhibit and sell my work) I also love dancing, cooking and people who make me laugh, and oh yes - almond chocolate. ..

My passion is natural holistic health – supporting and educating people to take care of their whole being - harnessing the powerful, miraculous ability of the human body to heal itself.

As well as leading group sessions in relaxation, meditation, bio-energetics and emotional expression and awareness, I give healing sessions at private clinics and detox retreats.

My interest in holistic health has grown out of the enormous benefits I have experienced by changing the way I live my life – what and how I eat and drink, how I exercise and relax, how I relate to my friends and colleagues, how I express myself, how I take care of my living environment, and even what I think and feel.

I have a rich and varied work history, having managed marketing and communication projects for a Department of Trade and Industry Best Practice Programme and worked in banks, law firms and consultancies in the City of London........ I even have a Physics degree and spent 5 years working in science research in Colorado, USA.

I love living and working by the sea, fresh fish, sprouts, silly board games, trashy crime fiction, Richard Branson and his philosophy of “Put employees first!”, laughing, hugging and chocolate!
