In her first year after completing ScarWork™ training, Emma treated over 100 different scars and established a strong reputation in this field, producing some incredible results with her clients. Emma is delighted to be the only therapist who Sharon Wheeler has personally nominated to teach her original ScarWork™ techniques. Emma had the first national press coverage for ScarWork™ and has continued to gain publicity for her work, shown in the images below. Alongside her teaching, Emma runs a multi-practitioner specialist scar therapy clinic in Harpenden, Hertfordshire and in Harley Street, in collaboration with Skin Camouflage Services Ltd. She has been awarded Complementary Therapist of the Year by FHT (highly commended) for her work with scars and recovery.
Charitable work is very important for Emma, in 2016 she established the first ScarWork clinic to be based at a local charity. Having witnessed the difference this made, she began donating training to for physiotherapy and complementary therapy staff at other cancer charities including Peace Hospice, Breast Cancer Haven, The Christie NHS Trust Manchester, The Mulberry Centre, St Christopher’s, Shooting Star Chase and Trinity Hospice. Emma hopes they can also offer a similar service so more people living in pain can access treatments. Other charitable work has included travelling to Bosnia to treat scars of some victims of war (through Healing Hands Network Organisation). Through Help for Heroes Emma has organised a team of ScarWork™ therapists to donate over 200 treatments for the Invictus Games athletes in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.
It is usual for classes over with over 10 participants to be supported by an assistant or trainee tutor. Emma works with a select group of experienced teaching assistants who have completed advanced training.
To compliment the practical skills of ScarWork, Emma has developed an online theory course Understanding Scars available to learners around the world.
