With over 20 years experience in aromatherapy, healing and massage I’m here to offer a place to rest, to find sanctuary and support your healing journey.
I offer a selection of traditional healing modalities that can enrich your life, health and wellbeing.
I’ve learned skills and developed ways to live with my own chronic health conditions, including PMDD, CFS and CPTSD. I personally know the struggles that can arise between the body and mind when living with long term illness, anxiety and depression.
I know what it’s like to walk through the world as a highly sensitive being, feeling as though you don’t quite fit.
I offer a place for you to rest, relax and recharge your mind and body. I offer time and space for you to offload, to receive healing and to experience something just for you.
I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2023 and during my lifetime have learned to live with and manage multiple chronic illnesses including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, PMDD (Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder), CPTSD, Chronic Pain, depression and anxiety.
My health can limit the amount of clients I can see as therapist, so between clients I create art and tend to my Physic garden. I enjoy sharing my art process, new creations and hope that sharing inspires others to get creative.
I offer abdominal therapy, aromatherapy, Reiki and Tarot readings from my home and love to share my spiritual practices. My garden is essential to my mental health and I enjoy photographing the plants and wildlife that visit the garden. I love to use the plants I grow, from tisanes to infused oils, spiritual bathing to ceremonial fires.
Ko-fi members and supporters get discounts on some of my services and offerings. It’s a great way to help me keep my business running and I’m so grateful for every donation or monthly membership.
Happy Clients
Caroline
“I would not hesitate to recommend Cat to anybody. She is professional, friendly, intuitive and very knowledgeable. With many years experience behind her she continues to research, learn and add skills in order to help her clients. Absolutely the best”
Nick
“I am not a man lightly to bestow praise upon anyone or anything… But today, a session of aromatherapy massage plus a little Arvigo from Cat, has made me feel better than I can remember”
Cath
“The distant Reiki healing session I had with Cat was pure heaven. The way she set the session up and talked me through every move, made it so comforting and relaxing, and incredibly connected even though we were in different places”
Fi
“Wow! I wasn’t expecting that! I had the most wonderful, relaxing Reiki treatment with Cat. I did wonder how it was going to work over zoom?… but, I have to say, I was blown away at how powerful it actually was”
Laura
“I was suffering extreme chronic pain and fatigue and Cat said this treatment would be therapeutic. I couldn’t equate with how an abdominal massage would help my whole body, but was very keen to try”
Ani
“I had my first treatment with Cat last week and it was *amazing*… I was a bit nervous and wasn’t sure what to expect, but Cat held the space perfectly and I felt safe, heard and held throughout. It was an empowering, connecting and relaxing experience”
