My Background

I am an animal-loving, tree-hugging, travelling hippie with a passion for bodywork. As a former performing arts student and hobby photographer, I embarked upon a spiritual journey in 2020 during the pandemic. I had been stuck for the best part of 10 years in low paid work, not utilizing the skills that I knew I had, and losing my mind to the mundane and repetitive tasks. I took inspiration from my grandfather, Stuart Korth, who is a renowned osteopath with clinics in the South of England, including the Osteopathic Centre for Children, of which he is a founder. His parents were also holistic healers, and ran a successful retreat between the 1930s - 50s; you can find a number of books related to alternative medicine written by Lesley O Korth with a quick Google search.

​

At the start of 2021 I completed an International Massage Diploma, various qualifications in healthcare studies as well as my own independent research into psychology, anatomy & physiology, and affects of the natural world on human health & personality. Further to these studies, I completed a Pregnancy Massage Diploma & am currently undertaking a Sports Massage course to advance my techniques. I am also looking to undertake an Oncology course in the near future.

​

As well as changing my career and progressing myself as self-employed, I also embarked upon a spiritual journey for my health; the "party" lifestyle had ruined my life from drinking and substance abuse, poor friendships and lack of proper self-care, not to mention being in debt all of the time. My partner and I built our own raised beds in our concrete backyard, where I grow my own herbs and use them for cooking, cosmetics and spiritual practices. Learning massage and a holistic approach helped me change my life for the better and it is the best decision I made for myself. Providing this gift to so many people draws so much love back into the world.

​

In 2022 my partner and I drove from Newcastle to Rome and car-camped along the way. We then flew to America where we bought our van, Gem, in Florida and drove him all around the States - totalling over 11,000 miles and embracing all the elements, from the sweaty swamps of Louisiana, to the dust storms at Burning Man, the forests of Oregon and even the vertical streets of San Francisco. We actually cried when we had to leave him at the storage facility, because our adventure really had been so beautiful and we didn't want to come home! 

​

After qualifying, I gained experience working for festivals, luxury spas and even massaging the band for Rick Astley. I do everything by myself from accounting to bookings and even using all my original photos. I am open and honest; I don't claim to be an expert as I have only been in practice for less than 2 years, but I am confident in my abilities and am constantly learning and gaining more experience by the day. My long term goal is to open my own spa and community, and to continue the legacy of my ancestors.

​

I also take a great interest in witchcraft, especially less commonly known or misperceived cultures such as Voodoo and the Artha Veda - I have combined my knowledge of these practices with my massage skills to create my own unique Spiritual Healing services, which you can read more about here. I am a hard working person who strives for excellence in my service and am always looking for ways to improve or introduce something new and exciting.
