About Me

"Today I am literally called on from around the world to treat clients, but since my first years training as a nurse (& in those early days often guided more by instinct than technical knowledge!) I have been successfully treating neck, back or shoulder pain & injury."

"Further experience & recommendations led me to pursue formal training in 1986, when I trained  in Indian Head Massage & lymph drainage. In 1992 I was taught by a highly respected Midwife in the use of reflexology & essential oils for inducing labour & reducing pain."

"In 1994 I was diagnosed with cancer, which wasted so much precious time... But I qualified as a Counsellor during this time, improving my empathy & communication skills on many levels. In 1995 I beat cancer & started to recover, whilst also qualifying as a nutritional advisor. In 2000 I studied Reiki, & by now was using reflexology & Reiki to control pain for terminally ill people, as well as continuing with pregnancy reflexology & labour induction. In 2002 I went back to college & re-qualified in all my therapies to satisfy insurance requirements, as well as adding Reiki Master & Karuna."

Dawn, being local to the area, had treated many clients some of whom worked at the Hotel Tresanton. Following glowing reports, the manager (in 2004) contacted Dawn directly with a view to her offering her treatments 'in house'. Many clients who return regularly book Dawn in advance to ensure a treatment with her.
Here's what some of them have said...

"I have undergone extensive training & qualification, lectured in colleges, & practiced my therapies around the world, my home always remaining based in Cornwall, UK. I now run a regular clinic in Central London, as well as working with a number of private clients in their homes - & am as passionate about my work now as when I first started to help people more than 20 years ago. I have been asked many times to classify myself or describe what I do, and to be frank I always struggle. I can only say that I think beyond the realms of a classic or 'conventional' massage & instead rely on a lifetime of experience, instinct & success to find the right treatment for every individual."

I am listed on the Embody website which shows the treatments offered & insured, I am also a member of the Complementary Therapy Association (CTHA) which requires annual continual professional development & training, as well as insurance.
