About Isabelle Makowska
Isabelle is a therapist and therapist trainer of over thirty years' experience. She has worked in therapy clinics in the UK and abroad, worked in and helped to run healing and retreat centres and has also run courses and day workshops for the public at all levels. Isabelle has worked in schools, day centres and health centres, and has been sponsored by the medical profession to work with those with partial and severe disabilities. She has taught in Adult Education, delivering courses in Aromatherapy and Massage to the public including to those with learning difficulties. Isabelle has trained students in ITEC and VCTC Aromatherapy and Massage, including in these courses the teaching of the energy field and the chakra system, based on the understanding that the health of these are integral to wellbeing. She has studied Metaphysics and the Psychology of the Soul as part of her training in Soul Memory (past life therapy without the use of hypnosis). Isabelle's interest in making aromatherapy products started in 1990 when she began to train in holistic therapies. This developed still further and more importantly whilst working with Susan Etherington who established The Sunflower Apothecary.
Born and educated in London, Isabelle went on to live in the north of England and to train as a therapist in Yorkshire; having completed her ITEC training with Sylvia Brearley in Harrogate in 1991 she then qualified with the IFA. She formally studied holistic therapies at the Light of Hope Trust in Hebden Bridge and Manchester and with The Rainbow Light Foundation based in Yorkshire. This led to a focus to creative expression and soul memory, which are fundamental aspects to Isabelle's work both as a therapist and in her approach to different aspects of her work in general. Isabelle became an ITEC tutor and principal of the Arkana College of Aromatherapy, qualifying students in anatomy, physiology and massage as well as in reflexology and going on to train therapists in technical and private colleges in Yorkshire.
Her work in Mallorca in Spain at a retreat centre and as a freelance aromatherapist and tutor helped importantly to develop the creative aspects of her work and as a result of this she now includes dance and artistic expression as therapies for her clients and her in her sessions with students.
Isabelle has a family and presently lives and works in the South-West and abroad as a tutor-therapist and artist whilst expanding her work through the study of plant energy, art and writing. She teaches courses and workshops in the UK and abroad as sell as volunteering there in retreat centres and with families.
