About Me
My name is Debra Byers and I have been a qualified holistic therapist since 1999. I gained my qualification from Swansea College and this enabled me to practice in Aromatherapy; Swedish massage & Reflexology. From then on I went to qualify in Indian Head Massage; Reiki & Seichem; On-site Massage; Sports Massage; The Bowen Technique; Vibrational Medicine; Hypnotherapy; Massage in Schools Instructor; Relax Kids teacher; Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner; Stress Management Consultant; Meditation Therapy Teacher; HypnoGastricBand© licensed practitioner; Past Life Regression & Future Life Progression licensed practitioner. I have also studied kinesiology and energy medicine and for continual professional development have attended many workshops, which all add to the breadth and depth of my work.
I continually strive to learn and develop as a person and as a practitioner so that I can be the best I can and offer the best service that I can. I believe that the day we stop learning is the day we die!
In other parts of my life, I have worked as an NVQ Assessor and Verifier with Swansea College in Business Administration and ITQ; I've been a teacher in Dilwyn Llewelyn School, as a tutor in IT for Business College (Swansea College) where I taught ECDL and prior to that used to teach IT and holistics in the Community around the City and County of Swansea. I have also worked part-time for Dawsons Estate Agents and previously for many years in a software house, initially as a secretary and worked my way up to PA to the MD and Admin Manager of the Sales & Marketing Department. Quite a change huh!
Originally from a small town on the Welsh borders called Hay-on-Wye, famous for it's books and my Dad (recently retired as Town Crier of 25 years). I moved down to South Wales in my 20's and now live with my lovely fella, Chris and my gorgeous dog.
I suppose I have always been a touchy-feely type of person who always wants to make the world a better place and help people feel good about themselves. I've always a been a bit of a mediator, and now I am a meditator!! I am passionate about helping people help themselves which I think is an amazing gift of empowerment. Even though this may only be in a small way, by giving or teaching a massage which makes people feel better about themselves, less stressed and more relaxed; or in a major way by re-training their bad habits and helping them get rid of their excess weight; or teaching people how to breathe properly or EFT, etc., I feel greatly rewarded when I am told I make a difference in people's lives.
I believe that the majority of us live lives that are far too busy, too full of electromagnetic transmissions, with not enough vitamins & minerals available from our foods, de-hydrated because of lack of water and much, much more, which puts our bodies, minds & spirits all out of balance. My mission is to help as many people as I can, get that balance back and retain it. Homeostasis (balance) is the key!
I would like to thank all those people (and animals) in my life who have helped me get through the times when I was out of balance and also to anyone who has come into my life and gone; or come into my life and stayed for a short while or for a long time, because you have all had an influence and been a part of the experience. My gratitude to you and to the Universe for just being there!
Love and positive energy to you all.
