A Holistic Start

Hi, My name is Amanda and I have been a qualified Therapist since 1994. My introduction to Holistic Therapy was when I was 18 years old.

I suffered with anxiety throughout my teens. At 18 yrs old my best friends mum bought me an Aromatherapy book for my 18th Birthday. I read this book from cover to cover with great interest and excitement, learning about natural medicine.

I found this book opened my eyes to the world of healing through essential oils. With enthusiasm I wanted to learn more and study professionally.

My First course at 19 yrs old, I studied with the Oxford School of massage and gained a qualification in Massage and Reflexology. From there I went on to study Beauty Therapy.

True Passion

I continued working as a Beauty Therapist into my early 30’s but my real true love and interest was HEALING.

This is when I went on a path of self discovery to heal my anxieties that I had suffered for many years.

I new in my heart my career in Beauty Therapy wasn’t satisfying enough. I loved the healing side of the massages and facials and so the journey began…………….

Learning and exploring many courses from Ayurveda, Indian Head Massage, Foot Reading, Chi-Medics, Angelic Healing, Reiki to Gua-Sha, Facial Cupping and more…………….

Feeling so blessed and grateful each day, I found a path that I am so passionate about. My job is creating bespoke and individual treatments allowing healing to shine through each treatment to bring the body back to a state of balance where the body can heal itself.

Relaxing Environment

Stonehaven Therapy is situated at the bottom of White Horse Hill with the most amazing views and tranquil settings. I feel so grateful to wake up every morning to stunning views.

When you enter my Therapy Room you will feel a sense of calm and peacefulness with relaxing energies to experience such wonderful treatments.

In my spare time you will find me out on my bike, running, cycling, swimming, paddle boarding at the Lakes or on the yoga mat. Enjoying nature at its best, a good place to start to Heal the mind and body.

I look forward to creating you a magnificent treatment that you will truly enjoy.

Namaste
