About

While working as a clinical reflexologist, I felt drawn to treating and supporting people living with cancer, fertility challenges and dementia on their health journeys.  This led me to complete further advanced reflexology training in Canada related to Oncology Care, Fertility and Dementia.  Unlike Eastern Reflexology, I use a light pressure based on Western Reflexology techniques introduced by Eunice Ingham.  My aim is to help my clients enter a deep relaxation state called ‘rest and digest’, where the body’s internal healing response is activated and balance is achieved.  I find it very rewarding to facilitate this process and seeing anecdotal improvements in health and quality of life.

Born in South Africa, my journey into the natural health industry began in May 2001 when I joined a herbal medicine company. Witnessing the healing power of plants sparked a profound curiosity within me, leading me to explore this new realm of knowledge. To delve deeper into natural health, I ventured to London for studies in massage and beauty therapy, becoming a qualified Dr Hauschka aesthetician. Upon my return to South Africa, I spent several years as a therapist until I decided to embark on a joint venture with my husband, running our own medicinal herb production and export business, Zizamele Herbs. For nine years, we focused on cultivating and processing indigenous medicinal herbs, during which I furthered my knowledge through a Practical Herbal Applications and Preparations course.

In pursuit of our dream to live in Scotland, we sold the business in 2013, arriving in Edinburgh with hope and anticipation. There, I had the privilege of working at Jan de Vries Healthcare, a company offering a wide range of health foods, supplements, and therapies, and had the opportunity to learn from the renowned naturopath, Jan de Vries, until his passing in 2015.

In 2018, I resumed my practice in massage and facial therapies and pursued my passion by enrolling at Formula Botanica in Scotland. By 2020, I earned diplomas in Organic Cosmetic Formulation. My interest in reflexology led me to The UK Complementary Therapy School, where I graduated as a clinical reflexologist in June 2021.

After spending nine fulfilling years on Scotland's west coast, we made a leap of faith and relocated to British Columbia in January 2022 to be closer to our family, now residing in Langley.

My approach to treatments is holistic, focusing on tailoring each session to meet individual needs, promoting the well-being of mind, body, and soul. Creating products is an endeavor I cherish, involving thorough research, patience, and continuous refinement. I take joy in foraging from the wild and cultivating ingredients, allowing me to create unique, high-quality products from 'soil-to-bottle' with a sense of deeper purpose and local essence.

Amidst life's hectic pace and constant demands, my treatment room offers a safe haven, providing clients with an escape from pressures and stresses, allowing them to find stillness and rejuvenation. My ultimate goal is to leave clients feeling vibrant and in harmony with themselves and the world around them.
