About Me

Hello, thanks for taking the time to browse my site and to read this page about me and my therapeutic work.

I am a Medical Herbalist and Ayurvedic Therapist and I am passionate about creating healing spaces using the wisdom of plants, accessing both traditional knowledge and modern scientific research.

I have been working as an Ayurvedic Therapist and Consultant for over 10 years, and through my work I am always meeting more and more new friends and interesting people, giving me deeper perspectives and enabling me to share the knowledge I have learned to help others to direct their own healing journeys.

I completed an advanced course in Ayurvedic Herbalism with Sarah Williams (MNIMH) in 2016, which deepened my knowledge of herbs and enhanced my ability to work with them from the Ayurvedic perspective. I have recently completed 4.5 years of professional medical herbalism training with Heartwood Education and I will soon be a full member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists.

I am still offering massage alongside my herbal medicine work, and I utilise a blend of all the techniques I have learned in the many massage courses I have completed since I first qualified in Ayurvedic massage in 2013. I studied Sports Massage Therapy up to ITEC Level 4 at the London School of Massage. This enabled me me to use some of the most up to date sports massage techniques within the Ayurvedic framework, and the two approaches work beautifully together. I completed further training there to qualify as an Advanced Therapeutic Massage Therapist and an On-Site Chair Massage Practitioner. I also worked at the London School of Massage for a year as a tutor, teaching Ayurveda Massage Therapy and Indian Head Massage.

I am a master level practitioner in Reiki, and I either offer this as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with other treatments.

I work with many regular clients, to provide a relaxing massage, to ease a specific physical problem, to help reduce stress, or I work out a more detailed therapy plan to treat more persistant health complaints.

Please call me on 07834 354151 or email info@aliatherapy.co.uk for more details and click here for all the treatments I offer.

Love

Marie
