When I first started training as a massage therapist, my preconception of massage was that it was relaxing and pleasant for the client but I had no idea of the profound, beneficial physiological effects massage could have. When I began to discover what massage could do, in relaxation and in treating specific problems, I knew I was on the right path to helping people find mind, body wellness.
My practice is evolving as I continue to learn. Through remedial treatments I am able to help and support my clients to maintain or return to an active life with increased mobility and reduced pain
Massage is particularly powerful in helping to restore the connection between body and mind. It works by increasing awareness of the parts of the body which are causing you pain. You then begin to realise, in everyday life, the things you are doing which causes that pain or makes it worse, for example your posture while sitting at a desk. You can then begin to make small changes that will help relieve the stress on the body which might be causing the pain.
Each new client receives a free consultation to determine their requirements. We will agree a course of action, whether it just be a calm, relaxing massage to promote general well-being or a series of sessions to address a particular condition. In cases where more than one session is agreed, progress will be kept under constant review.
