Hi, I’m Catherine, a holistic therapist weaving together facial therapy, gua sha, clinical reflexology, aromatherapy massage, hormone-balancing bodywork, and acupressure to support both skin and whole-body wellbeing.
I’m not here to preach about unreachable wellbeing ‘should do’s’, I want to help you to live well and feel at ease in your skin.
I figured it out the hard way. I was out of tune with my body, I had angry skin and couldn’t switch off. Life was 24/7, I’d spent 20 years as a designer in the fashion industry with some major health bumps along the road. I went on many wellbeing missions, did all of the thing's, messy rabbit holes of restrictions and ‘miracle products’ that didn’t work. Until I learnt how to tune into my whole body and nervous system. By nurturing myself, my skin and health began to transform.
What I experienced wasn't unusual. I saw it all around me in the industry, women holding full careers and full lives, burnout accumulating. Their bodies gave them signals but it was hard to piece it together.
What I eventually understood was that if you’re living under sustained stress, your skin and your wellbeing will keep reflecting that.
That shift in understanding laid the foundations of how I work. Every treatment considers what your body is actually holding, and what it needs today. The results that last (and the ones clients come back for) happen when we work with the whole system, not just the surface.
Now I support others to unwind and let go, manage skin concerns, stress, aches, and hormone imbalances, insomnia. Take my hand, I can guide you.
Not sure where to start?
A Skin Consultation + Facial is an ideal introduction.
