During the 1990’s Tina qualified in Massage and Aromatherapy, and since then has developed and led teams delivering integrated cancer care both in the hospital setting and in the voluntary sector. Tina further honed her skills whilst at Breast Cancer Haven, adding Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Scar Therapy to her qualifications and has been providing these treatments since 2015. Tina was fortunate to train with the late Willie Fourie and met Emma when she trained with her in ScarWork, and later the RESTORE programme.

Tina is passionate about sharing knowledge and skills in order to broaden the availability of vital scar therapy to those who need it. Her teaching style is relaxed, supportive and playful.

Sarah Clark has been a practising holistic therapist for 25 years. She also started her teaching career with the local college 23 years ago and then went on to develop her own reflexology diploma course. In 2003 following the loss of her husband to cancer Sarah went to the Bristol Cancer centre and trained in holistic cancer care. She then opened her clinic to all cancer patients and their carers free of charge. This was the beginning of The Old Mill Foundation, the charity Sarah founded. The Charity now has centres across South and South West Wales. Plus, a charity shop and a health shop. During this time Sarah has delivered a Cancer Oncology course yearly to volunteers and anyone else who would like to participate.

Sarah is also trained in the Dr. Vodder method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage with Combined Decongestive Therapy and continues to attend CPD courses with the local NHS Lymphatic School. Sarah began her scar therapy journey alongside her oncology training but went on to further her education with Emma Holly in 2018. Many volunteers at The Old Mill Foundation also started their scar tissue journey in 2018 and the results they have achieved is incredible. Sarah has a passion for teaching and is looking forward to filling more time passing on years of experience to others.
