As a carer for my widowed mother from a young age, I understand the importance of quality and trustworthy care for the ones you love. Deciding that you, a friend or a family member may need a helping hand from a care professional and may feel like a daunting step; or if you are searching for a new service provider, I am here to help.
A little about myself; I’m Maria and am 54 years young. I was approached regarding this role, and after some consideration, felt that this role goes hand in hand with my main role as a Therapist and my previous life experience as a carer.
I am a member of the Association of Reflexologists and also a registered practitioner with the CNCH – the UK voluntary regulator for Complementary Health Practitioners. I am creative, energetic and a keen gardener. I feel that my caring and compassionate nature along with empathy, energy and positive nature stands me in good stead for this role. I am fully insured & DBS checked.
I have experience with dementia and of person centred planning/support and community care and support sector, being a volunteer with Age Cymru Powys and Credu. Although each individual is unique in their support needs, if required I can also encourage and support people to continue doing as many daily tasks as possible, pursue their hobbies and interests, stay active and ultimately enjoy an improved sense of Wellbeing.
I always treat others as I would wish to be treated. This saying goes far beyond simply being kind to people, or going out of your way to be available or helpful to those in need. Treating people fairly means that you treat them in ways that are most appropriate to their needs.
