I currently run my own successful massage business working from my studio at home and with mobile clients, which enables me the flexibility to be available to work for a sports team alongside my regular clientele. I pride myself on repeat clients, having built an excellent reputation that means I receive lots of referrals and recommendations.

My clients vary from professional athletes, Channel Swimmers, Doctors and Consultants, to teachers and MMA fighters. I practise a wide medium of techniques, to include sports, deep tissue, hot stone, holistic, trigger point, all consistently tailored to the individual. I have learnt excellent client care, creating a highly professional, welcoming, clean and safe workspace.

Working with Mens D1 basketball team I provided massage therapy pre and post event. I worked mainly with the key 5 starting players with excellent results. Players found receiving regular treatments invaluable to their performance and recovery, with previous injuries no longer an issue. Players felt better movement and flexibility , able to jump higher and improved points score.

I worked alone but also collaboratively with the team Physiotherapist, assisting when needed with taping and strapping, and helping give advice on rehabilitation programmes where necessary.

I found it extremely rewarding helping create a strong and successful support team for the players.

Provide massage treatments pre-performance for singers, dancers and musicians before going on stage. Following consultation the treatment helped clients not only physically relax but feel mentally calm before the show. I had to be very punctual and carry out treatments to a very strict time schedule to fit in with stage times/ sound checks etc. I also had to be very discreet; always protecting the identity of the performers and carrying out the upmost confidentiality.
