My name is Natasha Mannion. For as long as I can remember, I've been interested in complementary therapies and enjoyed regular treatments. In 2004, I developed a nasty viral eye infection three days before my wedding. This was devastating news as I didn't factor on having sore, red, bulging, weeping eyes on my big day. A specialist at a renowned eye hospital, informed me that my symptoms would persist for two weeks and there was no treatment. In an attempt to try and improve the condition, I ventured to the local complementary health clinic. I was advised that acupuncture might help. So for the following three days, I had three intensive treatments. The results were astonishing. In just three days the pain had gone, the redness disapperared and they were no longer weeping. Perfect.

After this experience, I was convinced that alternative therapies were not only 'pampering' but had real positive health benefits. With the increasing popularity of alternative therapies, I decided to follow my passion and retrain. After much research, I chose to study my favourite therapy, reflexology. In 2007 I completed my reflexology training with the Central London College of Reflexology and graduated with the highest level qualification. The course is accredited by the Association of Reflexologists. I maintain full membership to the AOR, which ensures professional standards and continual professional development.

Since then, I have completed professional practitioner level training for ear candling, acupressure chair massage, Chinese foot massage and natural face lift massage. I love my job. It gives me great satisfaction to work with clients and help them on their journey to a more balanced mind and body.
