​
I am passionate about movement and maintaining my own physical health and well-being. I have been practicing yoga and martial arts for 20 years. Alongside this, I work in the community teaching movement and music classes to children and adults. Over the years I have suffered several injuries and have personal experience of full rehabilitation with dedicated practice and professional support. Because of this journey with my own physical self-care, combined with a background in support work and education, I have found a calling in helping others improve their own physical health and well-being through massage and bodywork.
Our body and brain adapt to whatever we spend most of our time doing, be it working from a desk, labouring, sports training or living with a disability; this impacts our posture, range of movement and can cause painful imbalances.
We know that body and brain are inseparable, if we are experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety, poor sleep or low mood the autonomic nervous system can keep us in 'fight or flight' mode and limit how we feel and move and how well we can cope with pain.
In our sessions we carefully establish how you are impacted and what we can do to improve your experience with targeted massage therapy and relevant exercises.
Our first appointment I use assessment with consultation, observation and movement tests to work out the best treatment plan for you, this session will also include massage. Choose from locations, days and times to suit you.
Follow up Sessions
After initial assessment follow up sessions provide ongoing sports massage treatment; fascial work, deep tissue massage, stretching and neuromuscular techniques. Based on your treatment plan targeting specific needs, supporting you with any pain, restricted movement or mobility issues.
