About me
I qualified as a massage therapist over 25 years ago in Cambridge, shortly after leaving Art College. Since then I have travelled widely, and worked in different fields, from a Montessori pre school teacher to a mural artist.
More recently, I was trained by Amanda Oswald who is an expert in Myofascial Release, and runs her own pain clinics nationally. She has written an acclaimed book ‘Living Pain Free’ on how to help heal chronic pain with MFR techniques.
I work from my therapy room at home, cater to a female only clientele, and am based in Burley-in-Wharfedale. Committing to regular massage and holistic therapies is both preventative and restorative.
Stress and the Digital Lifestyle
I am seeing more and more clients coming to me with back pain, tight hip flexors, upper body tension and general stress. This is not helped by sitting at a desk for hours, hunched over a computer or staring at phones, which puts a lot of pressure on the shoulders and especially neck. Myofascial release helps ease pain in the body, by untangling knots and opening up the back. As a consequence the nervous system is calmed and harmony and balance restored to the mind and body.
