My first interest in the human body came with my degree in Biological Sciences and I have never looked back. I then became a medical rep. I found that helping others recover from injury and leave them feeling better than when they arrived was the most rewarding experience I could ask for. I qualified in Swedish massage first then progressed into sports as it offers a more in-depth opportunity to target areas of the body causing stress.

I hold APNT Diplomas in Anatomy & Physiology, Sports Injury Massage, Remedial Massage, Swedish Massage, Seated Acupressure Massage and Integrated Myofascial Release Techniques.

If body and mind are in harmony then the Energy is in flow and nothing can harm the body. When the Energy lines (Meridians) are in harmony, our body is always capable of healing itself. Imbalances from outside or inside our body can affect this harmony. Acupuncture Massage is a way to regulate and bring harmony back into our body so the Energy can flow and our self-defence system can become fully active.
Our core belief is that an injury is not just the mere external manifestations of its symptoms, but a complex dynamic process of imbalances within the whole being. In order to achieve long lasting results we need to identify and professionally address the issues surrounding the injury, such as incorrect biomechanics, poor nutrition, lack of motivation, recurring injury patterns, using specialists in that particular field. The clinic has been designed with the client's comfort in mind.
Our warm, comfortable and eco-friendly clinic in Exmouth town centre offers you therapies to get you back on form, and classes and workshops to help you improve, correct and maintain your health and fitness.

Helens massages and exercise advice helped immensely with my rehabilitation following surgery on my broken hip as well as my aching shoulders from using crutches. The lymphatic drainage was amazing in reducing my swollen foot. I can highly recommend her.
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions you WILL be suffering with knots in your muscles or ‘Trigger Points'. My name is Carly and I am a sports massage therapist in Taunton. I had no idea when, where or how the pains started. All I knew was that they stopped me running and doing circuits at the gym. Then Crossfit hit Taunton, I tried it once and I wanted in! But as much as my mind said yes. my body just kept saying NO!
