My Story

After moving to the UK from Lithuania in 2007, I faced the challenge of starting anew, armed with my nursing and physiotherapy experience but lacking language skills. Embracing life with an open heart led me to meet incredible people who challenged my perspectives.

In 2013, I founded my massage therapy practice, focusing on treating repetitive strain injuries and promoting relaxation. This journey sparked my curiosity about the connection between the mind and body, as I observed how soft tissue therapy could alleviate pain, yet in some cases symptoms persisted, prompting me to explore the impact of lifestyle choices and the mutual connection between emotions, mental wellbeing and physical health.

In 2018, I began my studies at Middlesex University London, graduating with a BSc (Hon) in 2023, an experience that was both challenging and humbling. During my time there, I completed a counselling practice at Iceni in Ipswich, a charity dedicated to supporting families affected by substance misuse and relationship harm.

Reflecting on my journey, I recognise that my true breakthrough came when I chose to leave an abusive relationship, a decision made possible with the support of empathetic individuals. My life experiences combined with the stories I've heard and the lessons from my early philosophy class have reinforced my belief that healing is attainable for everyone when we embrace responsibility for our wellbeing.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to guiding clients on their journey towards mental, emotional, and physical wellness. I provide a supportive space for exploration and healing, welcoming anyone ready to take charge of their lives. Together, we can embrace the path towards wellbeing and success, fostering resilience and personal growth.
