Massage promotes a deep sense of relaxation and provides relief from the stresses of everyday living. By producing a meditative state of mind, or heightened awareness of living in the present moment, massage can provide emotional and spiritual balance, bringing with it true relaxation and peace.
I'm a holistic therapist which means I will help you look after all of you. We can't separate ourselves from the lives that we live and those that we share our lives with. I can help with both the massage and the energy work, by peeling back the layers of tension and negativity to help you relax and remember who you are. I offer one-on-one massage sessions or healing sessions or a mixture of both.
I am a professional Holistic Therapist here in Sheffield. I've been performing massage now for several years. I first trained in 2004 gaining an ITEC level3 diploma in holistic massage. The more I explored massage and its tremendous benefits, the greater my enthusiasm for it and the more I worked at deepening my knowledge of theory and practice. I have expanded my skill set to include Reflexology and Aromatherapy and during my training in these I was awarded the prize for Student of the Year.
Massage is an ancient and popular form of therapy known to improve physical and emotional health and wellbeing. Benefits include reduced stress levels, improved mood, better immune functioning, better digestion, lower blood pressure, and increased metabolism, to name but a few. By minding the body, massage can help to relax your mind, which again will have a profound effect on the physiological processes of your body.

Tui na massage and acupuncture are methods that can be used to treat a wide range of ailments; the styles of massage and acupuncture I practise are extremely versatile. In disease body tissues become restricted or lose circulation; I find any stagnancy or imbalance in the soft tissues and dispel it by gentle stimulation to the circulation with needles, or by separating out the tissues to re-establish a balanced flow with massage.
