ALL ABOUT ME

My Journey

I've always had a passion for healing, growth and helping others move towards their full potential. Alongside massage I am also undertaking a Level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling, taking a holistic approach to healing through both body and mind.

In my own pursuit of optimal health I regularly practice meditation, yoga, breathwork, cold exposure as well as ice bath and sauna sessions. The impact of these on my mental and physical health is profound and I would encourage anyone to have a go. A short blast of cold at the end of a warm shower is the most simple way to begin.

I'm an ex junior-international hockey player with experience competing at the pinnacle of European club hockey as well as performing in the English indoor hockey finals at Wembley Arena. I still play and coach hockey locally sharing my expertise with both children and adults of all abilities.

In my early 20's I was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of blood cancer. The diagnosis came as a huge surprise as an elite athlete playing in hockey's Premier League. I underwent intensive chemo and radiotherapy in 2012, but unfortunately relapsed less than a year later. After yet more chemotherapy I received a life-saving stem cell transplant in 2014 and was given the all clear in a year later.

Through this challenging period of my life I learned many important lessons and was forced, for the first time, not to take my health for granted. I rebuilt my body physically and called upon my resilience to push through and grow as a whole human. Now my aim is to help others in achieving and maintaining their optimal health and longevity.

MY MISSION

Tailored Treatments

My ultimate goal is to heal, but also to teach clients a better approach to their own health. Encouraging clients to make improvements to diet, sleep and exercise routines, as well as tending to our spiritual needs.​

Through relaxing massage you will reach a state of complete relaxation allowing your soft tissue to re-align, easing tension and massaging stress away in the process.

Deep tissue and sports massage adopt firmer techniques which break down scar tissue and knots helping you achieve more, for longer, in your chosen physical pursuit.

Massage has been practised for over 5,000 years and is steeped in values such as respect, integrity and dignity.

I aim to provide a safe and welcoming space to facilitate healing.

Please do not embarrass yourself, or me, by requesting inappropriate services. This will not be tolerated.
