About
Rita Lymboura BSc(Hons) MHAO
Complementary Therapist
Rita Lymboura BSc(Hons) MHAO, worked in clinical research for over 20 years before leaving to follow her passion for animal care and holistic therapies. She began her healing journey with Reiki for human clients before developing her skills to work with animals.
Rita gained a Diploma in Animal Healing and a certificate in Natural Animal Food Remedies with Elizabeth Whiter’s Healing Animals Organisation. This led to studies in herbal remedies, taking a short course at the College of Naturopathic Medicine before studying Animal Herbal Self-selection with Rose Therapies. Further CPD courses included feline and canine zoopharmacognosy gateway courses with applied zoopharmacognosy pioneer Caroline Ingraham. She also trained in Canine Merishia Massage and Myofascial Release for canine mobility and joint care.
Rita has experience as a veterinary receptionist, and has voluntarily worked in several animal shelters both here and abroad, including the National Animal Welfare Trust, RSPCA, Animal Care Egypt, Dog Rescue Cyprus, and The Cinnamon Trust.
