Paula Houghton

Paula joined Natural Way in 2006 after moving from Queensland where she practiced both remedial massage and reflexology.

The benefits of reflexology can really compliment and enhance the benefits of a massage and vice versa, and we encourage you to experience this for yourself!

Paula has a Diploma in Remedial Massage and has been working at Natural way since April 2006 and has since attained qualifications in Aromatherapy. Paula explains why she studied massage:

"Why a massage therapist?
Well that’s an interesting one for me to explain as my previous career was heavily involved in the engineering world as I was a CAD draftswoman. Long days and long hours in front of a computer took its toll on me. I was constantly plagued by neck, shoulder and back pain, despite always staying very fit. I discovered that I had a scoliosis in my spine and that long periods of sitting were not good for me. Massage was a successful ongoing treatment for my condition. Also my eldest daughter was fast becoming an Australian champion swimmer and massage was also a successful treatment for her constantly tight and tired muscles. I was so intrigued by this that I decided to study massage myself and so began the journey. I have had a complete change of career and have found that Massage therapy has opened up a whole new world for me. I also incorporate reflexology into my treatments, which is a great combination for both remedial and relaxation treatments."
