10 things about my massage practice …
1. I trained in massage therapy 12 years ago while pregnant with twins
I was a teacher before starting a family, and switched careers to spend more time with the kids
2. My interest in massage evolved from my love of running
I became attuned to the incredible benefits of massage to heal long distance running aches & allow me to decompress from the stresses of work
3. My massage style is grounded, intuitive, Swedish with a little Thai thrown in
I listen to what you need and adapt accordingly, but we all have a signature style. Personally, I love a firm, intuitive massage, my shoulders are always creakey but I find head massage most relaxing
4. The time you book is the time on the couch
When you arrive, we do a health consultation and give you a chance to offload any stresses. Then the time you book is the time you spend actually on the couch.
5. I won’t chat, unless you invite conversation
Your time on the couch is precious. I won’t chatter away - unless you want to. This is your time, and most people want to press pause on a world that’s forever noisy.
6. I love teaching massage
I run Introduction to Massage, professional CPD and Family Massage courses. I love sharing the magic of massage that we all hold in our hands.
7. Enjoy a walk at Botelet, when you book in for a massage
Take a walk, sit under a tree or just soak up the gentle countryside vibes here at when you emerge from the massage room
8. I think therapeutic massage is pretty wondrous
Day in, day out, I see the positive benefits. One of the biggest is simply the chance to down-regulate. Massage can get you quickly to that place of calm.
9. I may, or may not, be the right massage therapist for you
As with every area of life, we all have personal preferences. My touch, pressure, personality, energy, space may or may not suit you. If you feel called to try, you are most welcome. It’s also fine if I’m not the right person for you
10. I love working as a massage therapist!
It’s provides welcome counterbalance to the juggle of family life & my other work ‘hats’ in helping run the holiday cottages and farm
