About the Business
I trained as a professional massage therapist in 1990 at The Northern College of Acupuncture. I am a member of Northern Massage Association (NMA) & Massage Training Institute (MTI). To keep my skills up to date, I regularly attend workshops on Advanced Massage Techniques with the NMA. I have worked at the MTI stand at the Back Pain Show at Olympia, Earls Court, showcasing my work.

I also teach Tai Chi/Qi Gong in hospitals and in the community, where I work with patients experiencing anxiety, stress and depression. I am also a peer support group facilitator, running support groups, confidence building and assertiveness courses for the mind and I'm currently co-facilitating healing retreats in the UK and Europe.

Therapeutic Massage

Massage Therapy can help you to experience a deeper state of relaxation than ever felt before. This fusion of styles incorporates elements of Western and Eastern massage techniques, including Swedish, Craniosacral, Acupressure, Thai, Reflexology and Qi Gong. Deep Tissue Massage Therapy is used to treat and release older and more long-term patterns of holding tension that exist in the deeper layers of muscle tissue. These patterns may have built up over time through stress, poor posture, injury, trauma etc.. Deep Tissue Massage Therapy techniques are then required to recover muscle tone and mobility, in order to let go of tension.


Qi Gong

Qi Gong

Qi Gong's gentle but powerful exercises heal the body, and over time increase flexibility, improve immunity and vitality. At a deeper level, Qi Gong clears blockages from the energy centres and channels. Qi Gong complements Massage Therapy extremely well and helps us to slow down. In Chinese hospitals, Qi Gong is a primary treatment for many serious health conditions.

Qi Gong helps us to slow down & free the body of tension. This is achieved by slow, relaxed, continuous movement, generating a relaxed focus on what we are doing and effortless movement. Most reported benefits of Qi Gong are the simultaneous effects of breathing and slow movement – bringing the mind into the “here and now” – “a space where worries and distracting thoughts are absent” and an experience of “stillness”.
