She spent many years attending groups, seminars, lectures and classes at locations throughout the UK, Heather has practiced in a variety of techniques and approaches to this diverse subject and gaining a vast amount of experience.
After a great deal of self discovery Heather wanted to develop herself Professionally and trained at the Northern School of Aromatherapy, an ISPA accredited school, and passed her theoretical examinations in Anatomy, Physiology and Aromatherapy, along with a practical examination in Massage, gaining qualification in Holistic Clinical Aromatherapy.
Heather interrupted her Aromatherapy studies briefly to take 1st degree Reiki, and was so committed that she took 2nd degree soon after. Heather then focused on developing herself further, to a high standard before progressing onto the next level, and has now achieved Reiki Master Teacher degree.
Heather was accredited for her work and development in Healing practices over the years, and was accepted as a full practicing Healer by the World Federation of Healing , Heather also achieved Complementary Therapist status via the WFH for her work in other healing modalities.
Heather went on to gain a qualification in Crystal Healing Therapy, studying a two year Diploma course via the Spiritual Venturers Association, based at the Natural Healing Centre in Goole. Heather initially worked licentiate after completing practical examination and thesis, then continued to complete her two years of study.
Whilst focusing on Heathers initial passion- Crystals, this period of training encompassed every aspect of all Healing therapies, and so provided a firm foundation for the whole of Heathers teachings.
Heather completed a Diploma in Nutritional Therapy and integrates this knowledge into the consultation process required before treatment and in her commitment to treat the whole person looked towards Oriental Medicine to complete her repertoire.
Heather studied Oriental Body Balance (now KORE Therapy) with Dr John Brazier and Acupuncture at the College of Oriental Body Balance in Lytham St Annes, Completing further examinations in Anatomy and Physiology, Chinese medical theory and practical application.
