All that we can be, feel and know to have a happy and healthy life is already within us. Sometimes, we forget how to 'bring out our magic' and heal ourselves – physically, mentally and emotionally and need a helping hand.My intention, as a therapist, is to assist clients with this process with patience, acceptance and no judgement, being guided at their own pace, needs and wants. The aim is to nurture the client’s body, mind and spirit, so that a profound and long-lasting self-healing may happen. More than focusing on a symptom or injury, it is supporting the whole individual person, taking into consideration the influences their job, relationships, lifestyle, diet and physical activities exert on their health; this is the main driving force behind the treatments offered.
Today, we live in an extremely fast-paced world from which often demands focus on having and doing instead of being. Sadly, what we have or do is becoming more important than who we are. I believe that this way of life is creating imbalance in all aspects of our health.Maybe, if we took more time to be and in self-care, it would be much easier to fulfil our true and vital needs - everything else we aspire to in life would fall into place. Bearing this in mind, the ability to focus on the present, be still and clear the mind are also feelings that I wish to bring to clients within and beyond their sessions. Hopefully, this will have a positive impact on their daily life and general health.

About Me
Originally from Brazil, I came to the UK in 1997 to improve my English, having just finished my BA in Translation. From the beginning, I felt a great affinity with the British people, their way of life and diversity (although I’m still getting to grips with the British weather!). Around that time, I met my now husband, born and bred in the Bromley area. We were blessed with a son and a daughter, my greatest source of joy and learning. Raising a family here has strengthened my bond with the UK even more deeply.Coming from such a different professional background, one might wonder why I ended up venturing down the path of aromatherapy and bodywork. The answer is simple! My mother and grandmother have always used their knowledge of plants to treat us, so, ‘being healed by nature' has always been part of my life. With regards to bodywork, since coming to the UK, I have had the chance to experience all sorts of massage therapies and was amazed by how much healing and profound changes they can bring about.In 2019, when my children were old enough, I went back to studying and took the Diploma course in Aromatherapy and Essential Oil Science at Neal’s Yard Remedies. For two years, I completely immersed myself in the world of the essential oils and human anatomy; the more I learned, the more I wanted to learn, not only for my own edification, but to help others. I felt then that I had finally found my calling in life.I am now a qualified massage aromatherapist, member of IFPA – The International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists and thoroughly committed to Continuing Professional Development to ensure the highest levels of practice.Aiming at expanding my bodywork skills and area of practice, I am currently taking the Diploma course in Soft Tissue Therapy, including Sports Massage, at the LSSM (The London School of Sports Massage). So, please do watch this space as I will be offering a wider range of treatments in due course.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is an art and a science that has been used for thousands of years by several ancient civilisations. It is a holistic treatment which uses plant extracts or essential oils to assist the body in its innate ability to heal itself, prevent imbalances and promote well-being.Essential oils are extracted from several parts of plants including roots, seeds, leaves, flowers, wood, peel of fruits. Used topically or by inhalation, their therapeutic properties and beautiful scent have the potential to bring about positive changes on physiological and psychospiritual levels.Many essential oils have a complex chemical composition and, because each one of them is so unique, an accurate, well-thought-out and bespoke blend for each individual client is of utmost importance – not only to maximise the power of the essential oils’ therapeutic properties, but also to avoid adverse effects.One of the most enjoyable ways to experience the effects of aromatherapy is through a massage treatment. More than a 'luxurious treat', it is profoundly nurturing for the body, mind and spirit.Make sure to always choose a qualified aromatherapist, trained at a well-established institution, so that a high level of practice can be expected.
Essential Oils Safety
Essential oils are highly concentrated and should not be applied directly to the skin; they should be diluted in a vegetable carrier oil and their contact with sensitive areas, such as eyes and mucous membranes should be avoided.A qualified aromatherapist should be consulted for the use of essential oils during pregnancy, for children, the elderly, the frail, those with sensitive skin, pre-existing medical conditions and if taking prescribed medication. Further consent from a GP or consultant may still be necessary.Essential oils should only be purchased from a reputable supplier to avoid adulteration. Beware of price-for-all-oils, as essential oils costs vary greatly for reasons ranging from methods of extraction, storage and handling to the rarity of a specific plant.Essential oils are active agents, many carry contraindications and some are toxic. They should NOT be used or taken internally, unless prescribed and administered by a practitioner qualified to do so.
The Importance of a Consultation
Sometimes clients are surprised by how thorough their initial consultation is - after all, "It is just a massage treatment!". It is only by making sure that there are no contraindications for their treatment and by understanding their needs and expectations, that I will be able to provide a safe and bespoke treatment, therefore supporting clients on their path of self-healing (physically, mentally and emotionally). With that in mind, please read below what to expect when coming over for a treatment.

Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy massage is a means of applying therapeutic and beautifully scented essential oils to the body, using Swedish massage techniques. The intention is to support the whole person, aiming at balancing and improving their physical, mental and emotional health and promoting well-being.Appointments are held at a summer house in my back garden, especially converted into a therapy room with a lot of thought and care. Clients say the therapy room smells beautiful and that they feel a great sense of privacy, emotional safety and closeness with nature being there – "It is surrounded by greenery and trees where birds can be heard singing whilst being treated like the most important person on Earth!".
