After working as an Intensive Care Nurse for nearly 12 years at the Royal Papworth, a world-renowned hospital, I have developed a strong knowledge of bodily systems and anatomy together with a keen interest in reducing and relieving pain/tensions in the body and how to promote healing.  Before training as a nurse, I worked for a global corporation in London and therefore understand the stresses that regular commuting and sitting at a desk places upon the body.  

I am a fully qualified BTEC Level 5 Sports Massage and Remedial Soft Tissue Therapist which I gained from the highly respected NLSSM in North London. I also hold certificates as an Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist and in Advanced Myofascial Release which I gained from the prestigious Jing Institute of Advanced Massage Training in Brighton.  I am committed to keeping up-to-date with the latest evidence and research in massage therapy and how it can help the body to recover and, to that end, I regularly attend continuous professional development courses throughout the year.

I completed an internship at HeadStart Sports Injury Clinic in Cambridge in 2018 and spent three months working at the massage/health clinic at The Telegraph offices in London. I have also provided massage work at the Body & Mind Reboot Camp in Bedfordshire. I volunteered with the Anthony Nolan Charity to massage at the London Marathon in 2018 and volunteered with the charity Mind to massage at the Brighton Marathon in 2019.

Through the use of advanced massage techniques, I hope to offer my clients a place where I can efficiently relieve pain and promote healing as well as a therapeutic space where clients can recharge and restore.

I use listening touch together with client communication to gain an understanding of your current needs and what would be the most appropriate techniques to help relieve your symptoms and leave you with a sense of well-being.

I am a member of the Sports Massage Association (SMA) and registered with the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). I am fully insured with Balens Ltd and hold an Enhanced DBS certificate.
