Our Story
I am a Remedial Massage Therapist, and member of the Institute of Sport and Remedial Massage, with a BTEC Level 5 Professional Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy. I have a level 3 Sports Massage and Swedish massage qualification and have practiced Chinese trigger point massage for 20 years. I am a qualified instructor in the Kung Fu system of Southern Chow Gar Praying Mantis, I have worked with Police, taught self defence to prison staff and social workers after writing a self defence syllabus. I enjoy professional development and learning, keeping up to date with research and publications on the latest sports science from the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
My journey began about a year into my initial martial arts training, I was involved in a car accident, my Kung Fu instructor used Chinese Massage to treat the injuries. Impressed with these techniques I asked to learn, and spent the following 20 years educating myself as much as I could and treating family and friends with injuries or muscular aches and pains, often being told that I have “healing hands.” Previously I worked in the criminal justice arena; in the community and prisons, developing and delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Recovery programmes. In November 2016 I made the decision to start my own company wellbeing and Recovery Massage, doing what I love and have no regrets.
I take pride in my role as a professional remedial massage therapist and enjoy maintaining ongoing professional development, I am passionate about recovery and love my job and enjoy helping and empowering. I am very lucky to work with an excellent network of professionals which include a Dietician, Personal trainer and gymnastics coach, Yoga teachers and a Tai Chi instructor. Take care and be well, maybe I can help you and be part of your journey.
