IN THE KNOW

Hey, I’m Fiona! Allow me to introduce myself…

My fascination with health, healing and spirituality began when I was a child, largely inspired by my mum. I grew up visiting health food shops with her and listening to her talk about the alternative therapies and natural remedies she’d been reading about. We both developed a love of exploring different approaches to health, a willingness to question conventional thinking and a curiosity that drives us to look beyond the obvious for answers. That early influence helped shape not only what I’ve chosen to study, but also the way I see the world.

I’m naturally analytical, a bit of a perfectionist (OK, quite a big one!) and I love a good problem to solve. I’ve never been someone who likes to accept that there’s only one way of looking at things. I enjoy investigating things, making connections and thinking outside the box, particularly when the obvious answers don’t seem to be working.

I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2000, and while my clinical background has given me a strong foundation in understanding the physical body, I’ve always believed there’s much more to us than that. Spirituality has long been an important part of my life, and I’m fascinated by the connections between our physical health, our thoughts, emotions and the less tangible aspects of our existence. That curiosity has led me to explore a wonderfully diverse range of therapies and complementary approaches to well-being, and I love being able to draw on different perspectives when working with people, especially those who haven’t found the answers they’re looking for. I’m always learning, always questioning and always exploring new possibilities, with the simple aim of helping people enjoy healthier, happier lives – just as I’ve always wanted for myself and my own family.

I have a special interest in Energy Medicine and have qualified as a Reiki Practitioner and Master in both Usui Reiki and Karuna Reiki®. This allows me to provide healing using spiritually-guided universal life force energy and to train others to become Reiki Practitioners and Masters themselves.

I have also received the 9 Munay-Ki Rites of Initiation and I am able to transmit these powerful shamanic rites to others.

I am also qualified in Homotoxicology, Thermo-Auricular Therapy (Hopi Ear Candling), Indian Head Massage and Dowsing (both for health and space clearing) and have developed a particular interest in “healing sick houses.”

I am an accredited member of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP), having completed an M-Level module in Acupuncture for Physiotherapists at Coventry University.

In 2018, I travelled to Denmark to learn AcuNova – a modern system of acupuncture – from it’s founder, John Boel Snr. AcuNova has been amazingly successful in the treatment of eye diseases (such as glaucoma and macular degeneration) and is also very effective for pain.
