Background & Healing Qualifications

Jennie began her career as a stage manager; working in theatre, opera & ballet before moving into arts administration to become more instrumental in the overall planning and delivery of live performance. She then moved sideways to produce corporate conferences and events. Experience in both the performing arts and corporate worlds meant she was dealing, every day, with a variety of sometimes challenging personalities - which started her on her journey toward the world of therapy.

In the 1980s many friends and colleagues struggled with HIV and AIDS. She became a carer for one of her closest friends who was critically ill and discovered through that experience she had the ability to help people help themselves. She joined The Terrence Higgins Trust as a volunteer - effectively finding a balance from the then extravagance of the corporate industry - working in several capacities over a 6 year period, including co-managing the North London Buddy group, and devising & running a series of educational workshops for secondary school pupils.

The final part of her therapeutic journey came several years later. Having met a psychologist who was also a Healer, Jennie received Healing for the first time - and the experience really connected with her. Looking further into energy work and its associated therapies, she decided to enrol with a diverse and stimulating training organisation - and two years later was accredited as a Healer herself.

To augment her "hands free" energy work she studied Chakra Psychology; on advice from a reputed crystal therapist self taught herself Crystal Therapy - the two are deeply intertwined - and explored Feng Shui, Dowsing and Earth Healing.

To expand and build her therapeutic "tool box" Jennie added "touch" therapies - aware of a need for greater physical contact for many of her clients, in addition to her energy healing work. She trained and qualified in Deep Tissue Massage, then gradually added Hot Stone Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Indian Head Massage and Manual Lymphatic Drainage to her repertoire. Indian Head and MLD are no longer available.

Jennie established White Wave - Jennie means white wave, white spirit - in 2008 and has been practising as a healer/holistic massage therapist/tutor ever since. She is a qualified Massage in Schools Instructor (running peer massage workshops in primary schools) and worked for 15 months at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, North London - giving massage on the wards one day a week.

Jennie, in collaboration with Earle Abrahamson, founded Hands-On Training in 2012 - presenting a series of professional post-graduate development workshops, designed to support therapists once training and qualification has been completed. To enhance her tutoring skills and enable her to teach NVQ/Level 3 & 4 accredited courses, Jennie qualified in PTLLS in 2012 and CTLLS in 2014. She is a member of the CNHC (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council) and The MTI (Massage Training Institute) and was accredited as an MTI tutor in January 2015.

Hands-On Training was awarded MTI accreditation in 2014, and prior to Covid taught the Diploma Course in Holistic Massage; Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology - an 11-month week-end part-time course, training new massage therapists to Level 4 standard.

Since the onset of Covid in 2020, Jennie joined the Boards of MTI, CNHC and the GCMT.

Additional Rate Information

My hourly rate is £75. For that you get a full hour of treatment. Any conversation, removing or putting on of clothes is in addition. I charge an additional £5 for hot stone massage, due to the cost of the heating of the stones - which takes over an hour, and continues throughout the session. I also offer discounts for multiple sessions, if purchased in advance. Those details are available on the White Wave website: - www.white-wave.org.uk
