My working life has been incredibly diverse. I started in electronics, spent time as a tour rep in the 1980s, and later worked as a nanny before fulfilling my childhood dream of joining the British Transport Police, where I served for over 20 years as a specialist officer. It was a demanding and deeply rewarding career that shaped who I am today and ignited a lasting passion for health, fitness, and personal development. I later became a trainer in officer protection and fitness assessment, mentoring and supporting others in high-pressure environments.

Though I came to sport later in life, I embraced it with enthusiasm—competing in weight training, squash, long-distance running, including the London Marathon, and taking on extreme challenges such as the X-Zone, a televised search for the fittest woman in Britain. I trained and qualified in Exercise to Music, Boxercise, Indoor Cycling, and became a fully certified Personal Trainer.

The Shift into Healing & Holistic Practice

With time, I began to feel the physical and emotional impact of a life spent in high-performance roles. That’s when my curiosity turned inward—toward body mechanics, recovery, and the deeper rhythms of wellbeing. I discovered the power of combining massage therapy with restorative practices like Tai Chi and meditation. These experiences opened me up to a more holistic way of living and healing.

Still working full-time in the police, I began exploring energy therapies in my own time. That initial spark soon became a calling. My personal transformation inspired a new professional path—one that eventually led me to relocate to Tenerife and build a life rooted in wellness.

I first co-founded Healthy Harmony Tenerife, a well-loved practice many will know. Now, I’m proud to be co-director of Tree of Health and Wellbeing, offering a broad spectrum of holistic therapies, Reiki treatments, and accredited training to a diverse and growing community.

My Work Today

Today, I combine science, spirituality, and hands-on experience to offer treatments and courses that are grounded, accessible, and transformational. Drawing from both the Japanese and Western Reiki traditions, I teach Reiki at all levels and integrate specialised practices such as Reiki Drumming, Animal Reiki, and Chakra Healing into my work. My studies have taken me through lineages including Torsten Lange, Martine Moorby, and Garry and Adele Malone, which continue to influence my evolving approach.

I also hold qualifications as a Ho’oponopono Reiki Practitioner, bringing the wisdom of this Hawaiian healing method into my energy work. In addition, I’ve become a fully qualified teacher, delivering accredited Continued Professional Development (CPD) courses in Reiki, massage therapy, and complementary practices—supporting both beginners and experienced practitioners in their journey.

I now work from multiple locations across Tenerife and offer home visits for clients who prefer care in the comfort of their own space. Whether you’re seeking relief from physical discomfort, emotional balance, spiritual alignment, or professional growth, I’m here to guide, support, and empower you on your path to wellness.

I began my professional life in hospitality, successfully managing a leasehold pub and bed & breakfast in London for 15 years. I returned to Ireland in 2000 and moved into the banking sector before establishing a thriving property business in Florida, selling, renting, and managing homes.

Following the 2008 global economic downturn, I moved into community care—a transition that marked a deep shift in both my career and values. As a Care Manager with Care World Ireland, I worked closely with the Health Service Executive (HSE) to coordinate care packages that supported individuals returning home after hospital stays, helping them live safely and independently in the community.

During this time, I earned my FETAC Level 5 in Pre-Nursing, gained certification in CPR and First Aid with the Irish Heart Foundation, and became a qualified Training Facilitator through the Inspire College of London, delivering training within both public and private sectors.

From Caring to Healing

My long standing interest in wellbeing and holistic practices eventually led me to explore Reiki as a way to support my own emotional and spiritual health. I found it to be a powerful and transformative experience—one that inspired me to pursue formal training.

I completed Reiki Levels 1 and 2 and have since progressed to become a Reiki Master Practitioner, with continuing studies toward Master Teacher level with Denise.

This path opened the door to further learning. I qualified in Holistic Massage Therapy, studying a variety of therapeutic techniques to meet individual needs, and I now offer a range of facial treatments that promote both relaxation and skin health.

My Work Today

Today, I integrate my years of experience in care, training, and holistic therapy to offer deeply supportive treatments through massage, facials, and Reiki. My approach is always calm, intuitive, and tailored to each client’s unique needs.

As co-founder of Tree of Health and Wellbeing, I work closely with Denise to provide a safe, welcoming space where clients can truly reconnect with themselves—mind, body, and spirit.

Whether you’re seeking balance, renewal, or simply time for yourself, I look forward to supporting you on your journey to wellbeing.
