I began my journey in Holistic Therapies in 2004 and have since gained qualifications in Aromatherapy Massage, Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Hot Stone Therapy, Hopi Ear Candling, and Pregnancy Treatments. I am also a Reiki Master and qualified to teach this lovely, healing therapy to others.
I founded Poppy Therapies in 2007, creating a calm, nurturing space in my home-based treatment room in Mirfield. Alongside my private practice, I have also spent the past few years offering therapy treatments in care settings, supporting adults with learning disabilities.
I am passionate about natural health and wellbeing and helping people on their journey to better health. I absolutely love what I do!
Many of my treatments include Neal’s Yard Remedies products — natural, organic, and chosen to support your wellbeing in a gentle, holistic way. It’s a brand I’ve personally used (and loved!) for years, and I’m proud to use products that reflect my values and offer the highest quality care to my clients.
In 2018, I expanded my work to include children’s wellbeing, completing my Relax Kids training and later qualifying as a Children’s Yoga Teacher in 2020. I set up Poppy Kids, bringing mindfulness, relaxation, and movement to thousands of children across schools, community centres, libraries, charities, foster care organisations, and family/one to one sessions throughout West Yorkshire.
I am a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT), a professional body that ensures therapists meet the highest standards of training and continuous professional development. I was also honoured to be asked to be a FHT Ambassador, so I visit further education colleges to talk to Therapy students about FHT membership. I also hold full insurance, an enhanced DBS certificate, paediatric first aid certification, and safeguarding training.

""Attending Poppy Therapies for the first was a delight. Carol is so welcoming, the therapy room is very comfortable and a lovely calm space. Best of all, the treatment was wonderful, first time but not my last, I can’t wait to go back""

""I've visited Poppy Therapies on a number of occasions, for different treatments, and each time I have come away feeling very relaxed! I recently had a hot stone and crystal head massage (with reiki) which was amazing (the Indian head massages are great too). Carol is so friendly and very professional and the therapy space is very welcoming and cosy. It's my go to for massage treatments - I would highly recommend!""

""Can I first of all say how lovely Carol is, she puts you at ease straight away... I've only been going to Poppy Therapies for a few months now as my brother bought me a Indian Head Massage as a Christmas present & because I enjoyed it so much I now have a massage once a month as a little treat to myself. My favourite so far is the Hot Stone/Crystal Head Massage, I can't describe to you how it feels but it's just that good, I'm sure I fall asleep every time...""

""Wow - I haven’t slept well for months, but after Carol’s Indian head massage I had 7 hours undisturbed sleep. Amazing. Cannot recommend her highly enough - could feel the stress and worries just disappear. I will be back! Regularly. Thanks again.""

""Had THE most amazing full body massage from Carol last night! An hour and a half of total bliss, and boy did I need it! Thank you so much. Worth every penny.""

""I had my first-ever reflexology session today with Carol at Poppy Therapies, and it was a truly lovely experience. From the moment I arrived, Carol made me feel welcome and completely at ease. She took time to carry out a thorough consultation beforehand, explaining everything clearly, which really helped me feel confident and comfortable going into the treatment. Carol has such a calming presence and a friendly, professional manner. I usually find it hard to switch off, but under her care, I was able to fully relax—something that doesn’t come easily to me. Her touch was confident and soothing, and the whole session felt almost meditative. I could really feel the stress melting away. Though I’m not typically comfortable with having my feet touched, I felt totally at ease throughout. Carol’s skill and experience were obvious, and her approach was spot on from start to finish. The peaceful atmosphere, complete with gentle scents and sounds, added to the overall sense of calm. A lovely bonus was the little introduction pack I received at the end—a thoughtful and personal touch. I’ve already booked my next session and can’t wait to return.""

""I had an amazing pregnancy massage! Carol made sure I was comfortable and relaxed. Explained everything thoroughly to put my mind at ease. It was just what I needed at 36 weeks pregnant""

""I had my first treatment with Carol at Poppy Therapies on 7/5/25. I was struggling with vertigo and severe pain from a bad fall 10 days earlier. Carol was lovely and made me feel welcome, relaxed and comfortable. She is very friendly and caring and very professional; taking time in her full assessment of me before starting treatment. Her therapy room is a lovely peaceful, cosy place and the gentle meditative music made it extremely relaxing. The massage therapy was absolutely wonderful and brought me some much needed relief.Thank you Carol! I am already booked in for a second treatment and really looking forward to it and would highly recommend Poppy Therapies.""
