​Being able to help people through this business has, in a sense, allowed me to help myself. After several decades of emotional and mental trials, paddling like mad to stay afloat and conform with the societal norm, I had lost my dharma - my purpose.  I was entrenched in routine.  I worked with some of society’s most difficult individuals and was emotionally drained from the negativity that sadly shrouded some of them.  

​

At that point my mind was clouded with thoughts of “Is this it? Is this what life is supposed to be for me?”. I’d had enough. I began searching for guidance. 

​

It was then I discovered Reiki, having been recommended the treatment by a friend.  The rest, as they say, is history. I set an intention prior to my treatment and asked for guidance on what to do with my life. I asked for help to find my purpose. 
 
Over the next few weeks, I realised what I wanted to do. I simply wanted to make people feel better - physically, emotionally and mentally (of course, all ‘3’ - the mind, body and soul - are intrinsically linked).  I wanted to help people to smile again from the inside.  I wanted to help them to find hope and positivity.  I just wasn't sure how to go about it.
 
Having previously been what seemed to be a permanently injured runner – even in a wheelchair at one point - I valued the power of an amazingly performed massage.  I was more than aware of the effect bodywork had on my mind, body and soul and how physical pain can impact mental well-being.  I wanted to help others, as I had been helped.  
 
One day whilst sitting in the garden it came to me.  I felt drawn to become a Reiki Master and Remedial Massage Therapist to help others to feel better about and within themselves.    I researched courses and timeframes and planned everything with military precision (as I do everything!) but I didn’t have the slightest clue what I was going to call the business. I knew what I wanted it to be, I knew the services I wanted to offer and the way I wanted to help people, but any idea of a name completely escaped me.  I was also terrified about taking the leap of re-qualifying and taking such a massive risk. 

 

Then I noticed something.  The numbers 333 would pop up wherever I went - on billboards, telephone numbers, licence plates to name a few.  One of my friends researched the meanings behind the number set 333.  ​Spiritually, the numbers 333 is a sign that the path you wish to embark upon is the right path and with hard work and dedication, it will be a success.  This was all I needed to know.  I knew everything would be okay. and took the risk!

 

The same friend said I had to call my business '3' but knowing this was a mobile phone company in England, the option was dismissed quickly!  We did our research, looking at the number 3 in various languages.  The penultimate choice choice on the list of options was Trayah which means 3 in Sanskrit, an ancient, sacred language that first came to being in India.   It's a very spiritual language and immediately, I knew it was the one that resonated with me and that was how Trayah was named!

​

Following full time study for 18 months, I qualified as a Physical Therapist specialising in Remedial Massage.  I gained my Diploma in Remedial Massage in Australia, which included performing over 200 hours of actual assessed treatment hours in sports, remedial, myofascial, deep tissue and trigger point therapy. 

 

I use a range of techniques to try and address the actual source of your problem rather than just the symptoms.  These techniques include soft tissue release, deep tissue, trigger point therapy, joint mobilisations, passive/active release techniques, muscle energy techniques (METs), myofascial release and stretching, cupping (different forms), gua sha, dry needling, taping and active/passive stretching to name just a few.  I also have a Low Level Laser Therapy device and a therapeutic ultrasound machine.
