Lucy Chapman

Lucy first became interested in Complementary/Holistic Therapies in her early twenties when she completed the ITEC level 3 Diploma in Swedish Massage and Anatomy and Physiology in 1998. She practiced as a Massage Therapist for a few years when her daughter was small and loved it. Unfortunately, due to a change in personal circumstances and the added pressure of becoming a single parent, she decided to embark on a career in education for more financial stability. However, Lucy never really lost her passion for Holistic and Complementary Health Therapies and still made time to offer treatments to friends and family, as well as attending various CPD courses over the years to keep up to date with any changes in the Complementary Therapy World.

After being made redundant from her ‘career’ in education after 14 long years, perimenopause hit Lucy hard: feelings of anxiety and depression, constantly feeling tearful and tired; all resulted in lost confidence and self-esteem. It was during this period of sleepless nights and never-ending anxiety that she reignited her love for complementary therapies and treatments again. Her passion to practice as a Professional Therapist came back with a huge bang; she wanted to help people, particularly women, to feel better. Lucy decided to re-qualify and update her skills and start practicing again as a Professional Therapist. She also took additional Level 3 training in Reflexology, with a focus on 'Wellbeing for Menopausal Women'. Lucy is a fully registered member of the CThA (Complementary Therapists Association) and is delighted to be here and very happy to be back doing what she loves.
