ABOUT ME:

I began my careers as a primary school teacher in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. With the arrival of the Bangladeshi and Somali communities, I retrained to become a teacher of English as an Additional Language. This work was followed by several years as project manager for community empowerment programmes for parents. I then became the Tower Hamlets Primary Advisor for the English Curriculum and during this period I also gained an MA in Education.

In 2000 I again embarked on retraining, to become an integrative Arts CYP therapist and for many years I worked therapeutically with children and young people in schools across East London. During this time I also learned relaxation, meditation and other stress management techniques and ran sessions for teachers in schools as part of the Healthy Schools Project.

In 2008 my husband and I moved to Seaford where I trained in Reiki to Master Level and studies Crystal Healing. I commuted to Tower Hamlets for several years and then retired in 2015. I was then invited by The House Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre to deliver a series of workshop for therapists who wanted to work with children. Following this, I moved my private practice to Seaford. I also became a more confident artist and participated in several Seaford / Lewes events: Artwave, The Crypt Gallery, Lewes Mind Body and Spirit Fairs. I have been a Shamanic Practitioner for several years and this philosophy of interconnectedness informs my life, my practice and my art.

During the pandemic I retrained again to be an EFT tapping practitioner and I now have a practice both online and face to face in Seaford. When appropritate my work blends tapping with other modalities such as Reiki, crystal healing, shamanic healing and stress management.
