Since 1999 Caroline Taylor has worked in the field of complementary therapy, initially training for 2 years in remedial massage at the Northern Institute of Massage. She continued her training a few years later with an intensive course in sports therapy, following with Indian head massage, and second degree level Reiki.
Throughout this time she has treated muscular and joint pain due to injury, arthritis, and posture and helped provide stress relief, however, many of Caroline’s clients had other health conditions that couldn’t be helped with massage; this led her to complete a BSc (Hons) degree in Herbal Medicine.
With these qualifications Caroline now feels that she can offer a truly holistic approach when treating clients annoying health conditions or by offering you a little “time-out” from the stresses and strains of life.
For a period of 3 years Caroline was the remedial masseuse/sports therapist at the North of England Endurance Junior Athletes (Ages 16-19) Weekends.
Additionally, from 2006-2007, Caroline has provided herbal advice and information to enquirers at the Southport Flower Show Herboretum Stand.
In 2009 she has acted as a Complementary Therapist Coordinator at Trinity Hospice, supporting people with terminal illness and their carers.
Throughout the last 10 years she has gained a vast amount of experience treating many conditions, along with a greater insight into the fear and confusion we often feel when faced with ill health. Her aim is to help ease this confusion and fear by not only providing you with treatments, be it herbal medicine or one of the other therapies, but also by providing you with answers to questions about various aspects of your health condition and any practical dietary and lifestyle advice, which can all help you on your path to better health.
As a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH) one of the few professional bodies of medical herbalists, Caroline has to adhere to a strict professional Code of Ethics and must have completed 3 years of botanical and medical training in addition to a minimum 500 hours of clinical training.
