ABOUT ME

After completing a PhD in Psychology and working as a researcher within the field of mental health for many years, I decided to leave academia behind and retrain as a massage therapist. Mental and physical health are inextricably linked, so this decision felt like a natural shift for me.

​

I trained at the London School of Sports Massage (LSSM) and qualified as a Soft Tissue Therapist in 2014. I am passionate about continuing to learn and develop as a therapist and have since completed a number of professional development courses, including Pre- & Post-natal Massage, Myofascial Therapy and Reflexology. I’m also enthusiastic about sharing knowledge and have worked as a tutor for LSSM on their BTEC Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapy course.

As a therapist, my main goal is to work collaboratively with my clients to help them overcome pain and discomfort. My treatments are bespoke and I draw on a range of techniques. I also give self-care advice. I have experience of working with a range of conditions, including low back pain, piriformis syndrome, frozen shoulder, tennis/golfer's elbow, and plantar fasciitis. I have worked with climbers, aerialists, runners, cyclists, as well as clients that have non-sporting related musculoskeletal pain. I firmly believe that soft tissue therapy can benefit everyone.

​

I am a full member of the Institute for Soft Tissue Therapists (ISRM) and have professional indemnity insurance and first aid training.​
