I was born in the Caribbean and moved to London then onto Essex where I grew up.
I left school to work as a Nursery Nurse for a holiday company before joining the NHS as a cervical and breast screening manager.
After having children I realised I wanted to spend time with them so returned to work with pre-school children within a private nursery where I was a deputy manager. I continued to work with pre-school, primary age, and children with special educational needs as my family grew up. I continue to teach parenting classes and work with families providing advice and support through schools.
Having had an interest in alternative holistic therapies I decided to retrain in 2007 following an introduction to reflexology and a personal experience of its benefits. Since then I have continued to train in other holistic practices including palliative care.
In 2011 I began volunteering with the local hospice offering reflexology, I went on to be involved in the forefront of developing community services for the local hospice and visiting people in their homes providing relieving therapies for patients with life-limiting illness and their families.
I have also been running my own practice offering a range of complementary therapies since 2008.
As a child I always wanted to be a nurse, so after leaving college I started my General Nurse training at Hastings School of Nursing which eventually became Brighton Institute of Nursing and Midwifery.
I gained my qualification and joined the Nursing Register in 1995, with my first position being in Radiology, Trauma and Orthopaedics. During this time I developed a keen interest in the muscles, bones, function and movement of the human form.
In 1997 the opportunity arose to take a position in the Operating Theatres where I was able to get to know the human form both inside and out!
In my spare time I enjoy Obstacle Course Racing, Marathon running and Bootcamp fitness. However, these activities take their toll on the body and I eventually managed to strain a calf muscle for which I sought the help of a Sports Massage Therapist. I was so impressed with the effects of the treatment that I wondered if it was something I could learn to do, once again using my caring nature to help others.
I signed up for the Level 3 Sports Massage Diploma at Brighton Holistics and on meeting Jon, Ryan and the team I knew I had made the right decision.
I have since studied Sports Massage up to Level 5 so when Jon approached me with the suggestion of becoming a Tutor at Brighton Holistics I felt it would be the perfect opportunity to share the knowledge that I have gained on my alternate career path, helping others to help others!
Eugény graduated in Holistic Massage from the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork in 2013 (MTI), and in Aromatherapy from the Jotra institute in 2014 (ITEC). She was immediately employed as an In-House Aromatherapist for the cosmetic brand, Amphora Aromatics, where she got to film promotional movies, write press articles and also develop new cosmetic ranges as well as helping to improve existing ones by making their composition greener. This work allowed her to receive a series of awards delivered by the specialised press.
Moving forward as a freelance Consultant Aromatherapist, she accepted a position of Head Therapist for a renowned Spa in Bath, where she helped launch the new venue, secure business and spent the following 2 years travelling and appearing in the press and on stage, all while still delivering treatments, managing the therapists team in the Spa and qualifying in more holistic therapies as part of her continual professional development. Keen to challenge herself further, she finally moved in Hove in 2017 and now runs a successful complementary massage practice from the Tree Of Life Integrated Health Centre in Hove.
I stepped back from teaching in 2019 but I oversee the day-to-day running of Brighton Holistics. I still practice therapy and specialise in palliative and end-of-life treatments.
I was born and raised in Peterborough and moved to London in 1992 where I worked in a very demanding high profile job. Eventually, this lifestyle took its toll on my health and well-being – an all too familiar story these days.
It was because of this that I decided to give up my life and career in London, and move to Brighton for a more relaxed and peaceful lifestyle by the sea, and cherish the time with my family and friends. I love being by the sea and on the edge of the South Downs National Park and have found this incredibly calming and energising.
Before moving to London, I was training as a nurse and realised very quickly that the general route was not for me. Instead, I went on to train in body massage at Peterborough City College. In 2006 I re-sat my qualifications and have added new therapies and treatments since developing my skills and knowledge of the holistic, complementary and beauty industry.
Without even realising it, holistic health and the holistic approach has always played a part in my life, it was after my Reiki ‘attunement’ that my life pathway changed, and over the years my personal growth has been incredible. This wonderful energy has helped me to develop calmness and stillness and has helped me to recognise compassion for other people’s needs and give me the understanding for me to be a better person, practitioner and tutor. Also teaching me that being a dyslexic is not a problem, but a gift.
I have met many wonderful people on this very exciting journey and realised how powerful holistic energy’s gift is and how rewarding life can be as a holistic practitioner and tutor. I was honoured to be awarded Commended Tutor for the Federation of Holistics Therapists in 2012. In 2015 I was humbled when the Federation of Holistics Therapists made me a Fellow Member, also in 2015, I was awarded FHT Excellence in Practice – Advocate. I am also registered with the Reiki Federation as a Reiki Master Teacher.
I have worked within the training industry since 2002, training people of all ages and with very different learning needs. I’m a great believer that training should be fun and informative. I hold a City & Guilds Certificate in Education & Training (CET) Level 4 and am also a qualified A1 Assessor and Internal Quality of Assurance Officer I am also registered with the Institute for Learning (IFL).
Historically I have sat on the Management Committee for UK Reiki Federation as Vice-Chair and as a member of UK Reiki Council
