Take Ten Workshops have evolved as a result of my own children's passion for Reflexology! Our bedtime routine of a little 'foot massage' definitely makes it a simpler and more peaceful time, as opposed to the dreaded “I don't want to go to bed” struggle. So I decided other parents could benefit from something similar.
My workshops are designed to be simple, fun, and brimming with creativity.
Serving Moneymore, Magherafelt, Cookstown, and the surrounding areas, we use The Story Massage Programme alongside our specially designed Take Ten Hand Massage book to help children unwind and relax. The massage movements are easy to learn and remember, while the stories captivate young imaginations.
My aim is to help children learn self-soothing techniques to use in our busy lives, to help regulate their emotions in times of worry and stress and to strengthen their self-esteem. While I am a trained reflexologist, the massage techniques I use within Take Ten are only loosely based on Reflexology and should be seen as basic massage techniques.
Originally gaining my degree in Early Childhood Studies in 2004, I worked in the childcare sector for over 14 years. In 2013, I studied for my Reflexology Diploma purely as a hobby, which led to some part-time work and my interest grew as I completed more training courses.
In 2022 I started to work full-time in Holistic Therapies, offering Reflexology, Face Reflexology, Indian Head Massage and Hopi Ear Candling from a treatment room in my home. This then progressed to home visits for more vulnerable people and residents in Care Homes. And more recently, evolved into Take Ten Relaxation Workshops in some local primary schools.
