      Jun 1994 - Jun 2010
      Professional Aromatherapist and Massage Therapist ITEC 1994 and 1996

      Working independently, I was a holistic aromatherapist and massage therapist with qualifications in aromatherapy, anatomy and physiology, massage therapy, first aid and baby massage. I am pleased to say my family benefit from this now, and it is a lovely career to have.I still use my knowledge on my family and friends occasionally, and within the home, and it's a way of life.I have since trained in hot stone massage (2021) and this promotes deep relaxation and enhances any techniques already used with aromatherapy and massage.I worked from home and from the Rohais Dental Practice, as well as visiting Alderney on a monthly basis to treat clients, not forgetting giving talks locally for the Guernsey Association of Complementary Therapists (for whom I did the graphic design).I made some wonderful friends and thoroughly enjoyed the complementary therapy community in all its various facets, skills and opinions on the body!
