Leighton, Ann

Ann Leighton was born in London where she grew up and trained to be a beauty therapist. She specialised in exercise and body massage which in 1980 led to her managing the Health Complex at The Berkeley Hotel, Knightsbridge. But health and well-being were central to her ethos which encouraged a career change to teach students enrolled on Higher Diploma Reflexology Courses and at the same time allowed her to run her own practice.
