Over 12yrs into being a massage practitioner, and 10yrs teaching the skills to others, I am still constantly amazed at how adaptive our bodies are and I still love helping people to find their way back to comfort.

I love to create a safe space in which people can rest, recuperate and just simply be. Giving their body and mind chance to settle, reset and process some of the life experience gathered within it. This can involve careful and considerate deep tissue massage and at other times lighter massage to simply aid relaxation. Often a potent blend of both works wonders – relaxing deep tissue massage!

My love of massage first developed through personal experience of its benefits, especially with respect to a long term back condition. Through taking an active interest in my own condition I learnt a great deal and realised I had a further interest and aptitude for understanding the body.

This led me to try some introductory courses of massage and then to gain a full professional qualification: The Massage Training Institute (MTI) Professional Level 4 Diploma in Holistic Massage.

Through this qualification I gained a good knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology. As well as knowledge of many different massage techniques and how best to apply them.

To feed my interest in massage and to ensure I keep up to date with current best practice, I regularly attend advanced courses and I am a registered practitioner with the MTI and the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).

With this strong background of knowledge I now help others to enjoy the great relaxation and health benefits of massage.

Somehow I’ve also become a Lead Tutor, Head of Holistic Massage and a Trustee at Bristol College of Massage & Bodywork (BCMB – bristolmassage.co.uk).

That lovely fella who does great holistic massage
