Hello! I am the proud owner of the BodyPod.​​​​ I trained in massage at The Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork (BCMB), who run an intensive and comprehensive course covering everything from anatomy and physiology to energy work and therapeutic approaches. I have also been teaching there for the last 2 years and have found it an incredible experience to share massage with a whole range of budding therapists!

​

My particular interest has been how massage can be used to alleviate anxiety and the effects of long term stress on the body. My surprise in how little the general public knew about this spurred me on to start spreading the word and educating people in their bodies.

​

Having previously trained in Body Psychotherapy and Postural Integration, I use many skills and approaches from that in my work. I am polyvagal (trauma) informed and have much experience working with the bodymind to facilitate emotional healing as well as physical.

​

I am experienced in working with all the body's systems and tailor my massages to your individual needs. Whether it be pinpointing a particular muscular problem or helping your body process long-term stress, I will work with you to create a bespoke treatment plan.​​

​I offer the following massages or a mixture of techniques if you would prefer:

​

• Holistic massage (includes a bespoke mixture of swedish/deep tissue massage, stretches, percussion, energy work)

• Deep tissue massage

• Pregnancy massage

• Massage for alleviating headaches and migraines

• Massage for sciatica or frozen shoulder

• Visceral massage for gut health

• MFR (myofascial release)

• Deep Massage - The Lauterstein Method

• Acupressure Facial Therapy massage

• Simple Lymph Draining (with a tutorial for you to DIY!)

• 5 Rhythms Massage

As a previous primary school teacher, my love of learning has definitely not been contained to the classroom. I don't think I will ever stop enjoying learning and growing. It's who I am.
