about us

Welcome to dialatherapy!

Dialatherapy was founded by Paula Swales.( Complementary Therapist).

Throughout her working life Paula has worked in various roles that have involved caring and being responsible for others, this has always given her a strong sense of satisfaction. Whilst in the role of a healthcare support worker on the nurse bank at St. James's Hospital, Leeds she realised how important physical contact is when caring for patients.  This inspired her to research for courses that entail using the power of touch to benefit others.

Following extensive research on suitable courses Paula enrolled at Thomas Danby College based in Leeds.  Where she studied for a VTCT Level 3 in Swedish Massage and a Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy and Physiology. On completion of this course in 2006 Paula then decided to pursue a two year foundation degree in Complementary Therapies (Bodywork) at Teesside University, UK.

Paula's goal as an individual therapist is to continue to add to her skill set to benefit her clients and potential clients.  Dialatherapy's goal going forward is to grow the business by incorporating other practitioners offering a wide range of complementary and alternative therapies under one umbrella.

“Your health is your wealth” is dialatherapy's motto inspired by a quote from Vigil.

            “The greatest wealth is health.”  ~Vigil 

As our motto alludes, good health is necessary for your journey in life.  The best way to begin looking after your health is by finding what works best for you. 

Dialatherapy's core value is to endeavour to support all our clients on the journey to maintaining good health by giving an informed choice about the therapies and information we provide.
