I am in the process of updating my website (thanks to my newfound SEO knowledge), and while reviewing my About page, I thought it would be nice to share a little about myself, and how I got here, for anyone new to my page.
So, this is me...
🏴 Originally from Dumfries & Galloway in South West Scotland
📚 Studied Manufacturing Engineering at Durham University, where I also learned to row
🚙 Worked for Jaguar Land Rover in Warwickshire and joined Stratford-Upon-Avon Boat Club
🥰 Discovered sports massage as a way to support my lower back while rowing
💷 Left Jaguar Land Rover to join Lloyds Banking Group, traveling around the country while fitting in rowing and running whenever I could
👩❤️👨 Married Ed, retired from rowing, and took up running more seriously, continuing to use sports massage as a recovery technique
🤰 While pregnant with Flora, I decided to train as a massage therapist—helpfully funded by Lloyds
🇩🇪 Later, while pregnant with Heidi, we moved to Germany, where I left Lloyds and became a full-time mum
👐 After three years of mumming (with a bit of running), I decided to turn my passion for massage into a business
🏠 Started off as a mobile therapist, then, due to COVID, rented a treatment room—eventually leading to my own clinic
🧐 Always eager to learn, I achieved the highest massage qualification in the UK with Jing Institute of Massage & Complementary Medicine (BTEC Level 6)
📖 Wrote a dissertation on how massage can help postnatal runners with lower back pain
🙏 Continually finding joy from working with my clients, helping them overcome a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions
That pretty much sums me up—massage, mum, runner!
