I trained under Gabriel Mojay at the Institute for Traditional and Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy, qualifying in 2006. I have had my own aromatherapy and massage practice since.

Over the years I also have worked on different projects in a variety settings including corporate massage, training special education teachers to use aromatherapy in their sensory classrooms, and offering aromatherapy to clients within a local Multiple sclerosis charity and a transition unit for teenagers with complex special needs.

For the last few years I have been co-writing aromatherapy CPD courses for The Well School and teaching. In 2020 I wrote my book Working with Unusual Oils Volume 1 which includes profiles on 18 essential oils not normally included in initial aromatherapy training. Since then I have written for several international aromatherapy journals (including peer reviewed ones) such as IJPHA, Aromatika, In Essence and Aromatherapy Today. I am publishing Working with Unusual Oils Volume 2 very soon and have more planned. Turns out I really like writing about aromatherapy!
