 "From the start I felt very engaged with the whole process. I was taking part rather than just being the passive recipient. Throughout the massage, Aimee explained each step and described the muscles and nerves involved, asking me if I was comfortable. In my relaxed state, my response was always mmm. She also reminded me how to breathe and relax. Her hand manipulations were confident with just the right amount of firmness. To sum up, I felt completely confident in Aimee’s very professional hands throughout the 30 minutes. I felt very good afterwards with all the built up tension released" Freda Bayne, Stromness, Orkney

My Training

 

I trained in Vocal Massage Therapy with Stephen King at The Voice Care Centre in Devon, a leading UK centre for vocal health and rehabilitation.

​

Combining this with my Estill Mentor and Course Instructor training enables me to combine specialist hands-on treatment with a detailed understanding of how the voice works, helping me tailor sessions to teach individual client.
