About Liz
Guest Host & Holistic Therapist
My interest in holistic health began at the age of eighteen while working at a women’s centre, where I coordinated weekly sessions in massage, reflexology, and Applied Kinesiology. During that time, I saw first-hand how powerful these therapies could be, watching women arrive tense and leave visibly calmer, more relaxed, and feeling better in themselves. Those early experiences stayed with me as I went on to spend twenty-five years in a highly stressful career.
To manage my own anxiety during that period, I began having regular Indian head massages, which proved incredibly beneficial and strengthened my belief in the restorative power of therapeutic touch.
Eventually, I made the decision to leave my job and retrain so that I could help others experience that same sense of relaxation and wellbeing. I have now been self-employed for ten years, continually expanding my skills as my passion for holistic treatments has grown.
Over time, I have trained in a wide range of therapies, including Swedish massage, sports massage, reflexology, facial reflexology, and Indian head massage, among others. My work has taken me to a variety of settings, from running a travelling spa at festivals to supporting retreats around the country.
I very much look forward to being a Guest Host and Therapist at Jackie’s Retreat in Corfu.
