Natural Balance Holistics

Connecting to the Balance Within

A little about me and what I do

I am no stranger to stress! As a qualified Solicitor, I spent most of my career working with clients on family matters in the UK and Southern Africa. My work was in a high-pressure environment, with a never-ending ‘to do’ list, I pushed beyond my capacity to manage my workload - as so many of us do! I always felt I was in a precarious juggling act between work and family life.

I thought I was resilient and just kept going, but in 2021 my body demanded a break and I ended up off work for 6 months. Some days I wasn’t even able to get out of bed! After being in complete shock & literally not understanding what was happening to me, I learned to be patient with myself and I started to look for ways to recover. It was then I initially discovered the power of breathwork and meditation.

I got better & went back to work &, although I loved so many aspects of my job (particularly tailoring help and advice to clients to fit their needs), it just didn’t feel ‘right’ anymore. I felt that I wanted something different, but I had no idea what! All I had ever known was the
world of law. It took me a while &, without any ideas of which direction to take, I just started following whatever I found interesting. So, early in 2024 I stepped out of my comfort zone and trained as a meditation and breathwork instructor. I returned to practising reflexology too (which I had trained for in 2003) and I also became a Reiki Practitioner. Then I discovered sound healing! I found it mesmerising…. And at the beginning of 2025 I trained as an Internationally Accredited Sound Healer - taking a Certificate and then a Diploma so I could facilitate group Sound Baths and 1:1 Sound Therapy sessions.  As life so often teaches us, opportunities I had never even thought of came along & I have also now added facial reflexology to my skills & I am currently completing my training to share yoga.

Nowadays, I love the fact that my skills can be blended and moulded to suit the specific needs of the people I support. Plus, my life experience helps me to truly understand individual pressures - those managing stress, feeling time-restricted and needing to be strong for others,  juggling in all the different roles we play. ...   I really believe that the right tools and support can create a stillness within and help us to build and maintain resilience, even in challenging circumstances.

If you are interested in any of my treatments or classes please do reach out. Together we can find the right support to help you flourish on your individual journey - one that is as unique and wonderful as you are!
