Her therapy and training practice is based in Glossop near Manchester, UK.
After her early career as a zoologist and then a botanist, Masha began working with people about 10 years ago, and was employed by the Probation Service, HM Prison Service, addiction charities and mental health organisations, as well as working in adult education. In 2006 she has set up and developed an innovative Well Being Centre in Stockport near Manchester, and prior to that she managed a drug rehabilitation unit in a women's prison; she has also worked as a therapist in a children's home. Masha teaches EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) in the UK and internationally, including Russia, Norway, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan.
Masha is an author of a section on EFT in the groundbreaking manual on mental health and wellbeing by Marion Aslan and Mike Smith, The THRIVE Approach to Mental Wellness, published in 2007 (ISBN 978-0-9556461-0-2). She is currently working on the first book on EFT in Russian, and is also writing a manual on Holistic Approaches for Addiction Treatment.
The THRIVE Approach to Mental Wellness by Dr Mike Smith and Marion Aslan - I am proud to have contributed a section on EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to this groundbreaking manual on mental wellbeing.
In my "past life" I used to be a botanist and horticulturist (and, even earlier, a zoologist!) and wrote a horticultural reference book, Pulmonarias and the Borage Family, as well as contributed to the award-winning RHS Encyclopedia of Perennials.
