About Jane

My main aim in practice is to support peacefulness and wellbeing. It makes sense that when we are relaxed and happy we are nicer to be with, more likely to make good choices and to treat ourselves and others well. 
 
I have diplomas in holistic therapies and nutrition, together with appropriate levels of training in counselling and teaching.  
 
Two years' undergraduate study of Philosophy at Reading University and one year’s degree level study of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading have both enhanced my holistic thinking.
 
I have taught massage at NVQ level for Basingstoke College, as well as an introductory course in Reflexology at Newbury College and Reiki and meditation classes privately for over nine years.

In addition to private practice, I visit a corporate client at Thames Valley Park twice a week to provide short head, neck and shoulders massage to their operations and call centre staff.  My work experience includes over three years' provision of reflexology in care homes for resident service users with learning disabilities related mainly to autistic conditions and provision of stress relief to carers via respite funding.    

Over 20 years ago, I learned Transcendental Meditation (TM) which has been a life-enhancing practice for me. I teach a simple form of mantra meditation based on this practice.

I live in Thatcham with my partner, David Wilder, who was born in Chaddleworth.  We think our beautiful West Berkshire countryside is the best therapy anyone could find!

I am registered with the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) and appropriately insured. My practice is ethically focused and I will always put you first.
