“I have always had a love for holistic treatments and have a strong passion for women’s health. I decided to start my career as a massage therapist so that I would be able to help hands on.

I have worked in a variety of different care roles working with infants to the elderly which led me to pursue massage therapy. Touch is so beneficial, it’s our first sense to develop and our last to diminish. I love everything about massage therapy, being able to offer pain relief, healing and a safe space for my clients is the most important thing.

I have a special interest in abdomen massage also known as womb massage which is very beneficial for offering pain relief from conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, IBS, cysts, fibroids, menopause and more. It is also amazing for healing after birth, loss, or trauma.

Another special interest of mine is children’s massage and all the wonderful benefits it can offer especially for our neurodivergent little ones.

I offer relaxation, deep tissue and sports massage, due to complete my remedial studies in July 2024.”

I want to educate and support people who stop or lose the ability to partake in things they value – hopefully getting them back into it!”
