About Amanda

Amanda Lyons ICA IIST ATP


BSc (Hons)  


PGCE Further Ed / Higher Ed

 

Amanda was first introduced to holistic therapies in 1990 and was particularly drawn to the healing potential of essential oils therefore after completing her training with Eve Taylor in London she gained a Diploma in Clinical Aromatherapy in 1993 and set up her business in 1994.

Over the last 20 years Amanda has continued to develop her awareness and understanding of holistic therapies both through professional experience and further education, gaining qualifications in thermo-auricular therapy, Indian head massage, remedial massage and sports injury treatment. 

In 2002 she achieved a 1st class honours degree in Human Biology and Health Sciences - a fascinating course which enabled her to fine tune her knowledge of the human body and also explore the mind-body-energy connection so central to all holistic therapies.

Amanda's Post Graduate Certificate in Education from the University of Huddersfield has been invaluable in providing the teaching skills needed to facilitate workshops and provide teaching services to other organisations and social groups. With this capacity to offer a broad range of services, Amanda is often invited into schools, Sure Start centres and other community groups to deliver workshops on stress management, massage techniques and/or Kundalini Yoga. All sessions can be tailor made to fit the needs of the group.

Amanda's initial training and experience with Holistics lead her into adopting a clinical approach to many of the treatments and consultations, but following further study and the attainment of qualifications in Spiritual Healing, Reiki, Crystal Healing and Angel Therapy she has experienced a broadening of perspective and embraced the knowledge of our energy systems thus adding another dimension to the services offered. The diversity of approaches has created a balanced mode of work which allows all clients to feel comfortable, from sportsmen looking to speed up the recovery of torn muscles to those experiencing emotional and psychological difficulties due to the challenges of life, Amanda's style fits all!
