I am a Sports Injury Massage Therapist and a Holistic Masseur.

I qualified in ITEC Swedish Massage over twenty years ago, specialising in Sports Injury in the past ten years.

Holistic Massage and Sports Injury Therapy Massage

Venue

I mainly practice from a small studio in Aylsham, just outside Norwich, Norfolk.

By arrangement I can also bring mobile equipment to give treatments in private homes, at leisure / sporting events or work based events.

I also provide massage services to those staying at several Norfolk based glamping sites run by Ambers Bell Tents.

What to expect

Upon first contact we can discuss what you wish to gain from the treatment, any underlying health conditions or special needs you may have, as well as treatment fees.

My Clients

I offer treatment for both Sports persons and Non Sportspersons, from Holistic to Deep Tissue Massage.

My treatments aim to improve quality and resilience of the body’s soft tissue, with pain, discomfort or injury rehabilitation and prevention in mind, no matter how athletic or physically inactive you may be.

My clients are varied and come from many different fields, such as:

  • Athletes
  • Gardeners
  • Builders
  • Highly Sensitive People (HSP)
  • Teenage sports players
  • People experiencing anxiety
  • Holistic practitioners
  • Musicians
  • Managers
  • Retired folk
  • People who need support in resetting their nervous system
  • Those with long-standing conditions that impact their body

My Résumé

Qualifications

I qualified as an ITEC Swedish (Holistic) Masseur over 20 years ago.

Later, in 2014, I qualified as a Sports Massage Therapist.

I have keen interest in nature based bodywork and grounding therapies.

I draw upon this alongside my training, and my many previous years as a practicing Mental Health Nurse (RMHN), to improve my clients’ physical and emotional resilience through massage.

I tailor my treatments to my clients’ individual needs by instinctively responding to muscles and tissues, drawing upon my experience and training.

Experience

Sporting injury or support

I have experience in working with those who play sport for a hobby and with those who represent the county, region and country.
I can help you prepare you for a big event and support your body’s healing and recovery afterwards, whether that’s to settle the body and nervous system back into a strong but less intensive pattern, or to relieve pain or injury.

Work or Home related injury

I commonly works with people who experience back pain, shoulder mobility issues, knee troubles, and other occupational pain or discomfort – whether that’s from physical work or many hours of repetitive movement over a desk or through focused passions, such as music or art.

Stress

I often work with those of us who experience stress regularly, or occasionally, in our bodies. This may feel like shoulder tension, back ache, strained neck, headaches, nerve related issues in the limbs, contraction through legs or simply an aching for calming touch.
