About Me
After experiencing the benefits of massage for a long-term shoulder issue, I took my initial training at Exeter School of Bodywork in 2012. This Complete Bodyworker qualification offered a foundation in anatomy in and physiology, Swedish and holistic massage principles.
​
Keen to deepen my knowledge of the body, I took the Sports and Remedial Course at Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork (BCMB) in 2014. This gave me the opportunity to learn about posture, the physiology of injury and long-term conditions. It also equipped me with tools and techniques to promote the best conditons for repair and rehabilitation. Since qualifying I have practiced in clinics across Bristol, and I currently coordinate a treatment space in Easton.

I am currently undertaking a 7 month Myofascial Release diploma at the School Of Bodywork, and love the slow, therapeutic effects of this style of treatment.
Outside of massage I work with communities, supporting them to take action towards greener, healthier futures.

Treatment style
My approach is person-centred, I will create space to listen and tailor each treatment to your specific needs. As a result, no two treatments will be the same.
I work holistically, meaning that I treat the whole person, promoting the mind-body connection. During treatments I will tune in to what is happening in the muscles and fascia, and work intuitively.
I enjoy working remedially, drawing on a range of techniques and mobilisations to free up movement or alleviate discomfort. I also believe that deep relaxation is incredibly restorative, so I aim to promote this within my massages.
On the day
We will begin with a consultation, where we will talk through your aims for the treatment, and how you want to feel afterwards. If you have a specific injury or long term issue that you would like to work on, I may do some postural assessments or mobility testing.
After the treatment I will provide you with aftercare, tailored to you.
