I’m excited to introduce the Consistency Recovery Special designed for those who want to stay ahead of pain, niggles, and training fatigue.

🔹 4 × 60-minute sessions
🔹 R700 per session (normally R750)
🔹 To be used within 5 weeks

This package works particularly well during heavier training phases, especially for Comrades runners building mileage, active individuals under consistent load, or anyone dealing with recurring muscle tension that needs regular, focused care.

I’m so excited to officially open the doors to my new treatment space at Rivonia Gate Health Centre.

This studio is a place for focused, intentional bodywork — supporting recovery, injury prevention, and long-term movement for active bodies and those living with chronic pain. Every session here is tailored, hands-on, and guided by years of experience working with athletes and everyday movers alike.

I’m looking forward to welcoming you into this space and supporting your body to move, feel, and perform better.

As the new year gets underway and training volumes start to build again, I’ve been reflecting on some of the work that shaped my approach to recovery in 2024.

One standout experience was working with WildRun at their annual Wild Coast Ultra Marathon last September — a three-day stage race covering over 112 km of rugged coastline along one of South Africa’s most remote and beautiful routes.

Each day, I treated runners at the end of their stage, supporting recovery after long hours on technical terrain, beach running, river crossings, and relentless elevation changes. Fatigued legs, tight hips, sore calves — no two bodies needed the same approach, and that’s what makes this kind of work so meaningful.

Watching runners show up day after day, tired but determined, reinforced something I believe strongly: consistent, targeted recovery is what allows athletes to keep training — not just survive it.

That experience continues to inform how I work with runners, gym-goers, and active bodies in my practice today — focusing on injury prevention, efficient movement, and staying pain-free through the demands of training.

If you’re building toward races or goals this year and want your recovery to support your performance (not just patch things up), I’d love to help

Hey everyone

I know it's been a long 3 weeks and we have 2 more weeks to go. Being without a regular massage is difficult and I do miss you all. I will be back at work from the 1st of May with a little surprise that I'll announce closer to the time.

Here is a self hand massage video I found and I have to say it's worked wonders on my stress levels. I do this quick hand massage on both hands just before bed and I'm sleeping soundly.

Stay well and safe and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon

Take few minutes to relax yourself by making a nice hands relexology session on your own hands. Being gentle with yourself will make your life lovely!
