To Rachel at Orchard Osteopaths who accepted me to work at her practice as a therapist when I 1st qualified in 2006, to Charlie at Sophia's Choice who was the 1st stockist of Orchard View naturals skincare in 2011, to Sarah Stacey The Beauty Bible (www.beautybible.com) who wrote the most amazing reviews for my treatments and Triple Rose facial oil over the years and for every person who has ever enjoyed a therapy treatment, bought a face oil, stocked my products, welcomed me to their practice, written a review, championed my work in the press, recommended me to a friend, published my writing, delivered amazing training, given me an exceptional treatment, befriended me as a fellow therapist or supported myself and my small business in other ways, I give my heartfelt thanks
