After a decade of teaching English in my home country of Korea for an Academy, a Primary School and a mobile tutoring company as well as running my own business at a foreign language school, my whole body suffered from aches and pains. I had joint problems, low energy, a weak immune system and little motivation to do my job. I put it down to being over-worked and stressed, having poor diet habits and eating irregular meals. However, my doctors were unable to provide an exact diagnosis and when my left knee joint flared up I assumed that it was because I had dislocated it when I was young.

To aid my body’s recovery I had a couple of acupuncture sessions and used a home treatment of Moxibustion which helped to reduce aches and pains. This experience started my interest in healing and I chose to change my career by studying oriental medicine abroad.

Since moving to London as a student in June 2001, I have become even more interested in helping people and learned that I could sense peoples’ pain and aid them. For example my English teacher suffered from bad headaches. I could sense he had tensed shoulders and administered acupressure (Tsubo) on one side of his shoulder. His headache stopped.

One of my teachers was a Reiki master and introduced me to Reiki, and I obtained attunement in May 2002. It took time to treat my body, but once I experience the wonderful results I was keen to learn more and help others. When I moved to Inverness, I started to study Complementary Therapies without even realizing Reiki was a part of the course. It was a great time to pursue and I enjoyed it a lot. I became more confident about treating people during my case studies of TCM Reflexology, Sports Therapy and Clinical Aromatherapy. When I achieved my HND qualification I decided to start my own business “HARMONY” based on my client relations. Furthermore, I have achieved my BSc Complementary Therapies, Reflexology (2008) in Napier University in Edinburgh when I was working as a complementary therapist in Inverness.

And then I continued on to achieve BA(Hons) Complementary Healthcare in Edinburgh Napier University. I wrote a reflexology dissertation (2010) about hands on treatments that was titled ” A qualitative exploratory study into the effects of reflexology treatment for a mixed gender group of elderly residents in a nursing home”.
