Hello
Welcome to North Star Complementary Therapies, where I help you find balance and well-being through clinical massage, aromatherapy, Reiki, and reflexology. Just like the North Star has guided travelers for centuries, I believe complementary therapies can help you reset, heal, and realign. In addition to my therapies, I handcraft aromatherapy soy wax candles, create photographic prints, and design fibre art pieces, all inspired by nature and mindfulness. Explore my offerings and let me help you reconnect with your own North Star.
My Story
After years of hearing family and friends say, “You should do this for a living,” I finally took the plunge and started North Star Complementary Therapies.
Why North Star?
Before modern technology—before GPS, radar, and satellites—navigators relied on celestial bodies to guide them. While the stars and planets move across the sky, one star remains a constant point of reference: the North Star. It helps travelers find their way, set their course, and stay on track.
I believe complementary therapies can be your North Star. In today’s fast-paced world, we push our minds and bodies to the limit. Stress, tension, and exhaustion creep in, leaving us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and disconnected. That’s where therapies like clinical massage, aromatherapy, Reiki, and reflexology come in—they help you pause, reset, and realign. By treating the whole person, not just a set of symptoms, these therapies promote deep healing, relaxation, and well-being.
I also believe that the power of essential oils should be accessible to everyone. That’s why my shop offers high-quality oils at reasonable prices. My supplier is a member of the Aromatherapy Trade Council, International Federation of Aromatherapists, and International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists, trusted by thousands of therapists and training colleges across the UK.
More Than a Therapist
Beyond complementary therapies, I’m also a photographer and fibre artist. My shop features photographic prints, available framed, mounted, or unframed. I also handcraft scarves, beanies, blankets, and cushion covers, using locally sourced fleece whenever possible. For those who prefer non-wool options, I offer acrylic pieces as well.
Additionally, I make and sell my own handcrafted aromatherapy soy wax candles, infused with pure essential oils. These candles are designed to create a soothing atmosphere, bringing the benefits of aromatherapy into your home in a natural and gentle way.
Everything I do—whether through healing therapies, photography, fibre art, or candle-making—is about helping people feel balanced, connected, and inspired.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope to help guide you back to your own North Star.
