A bit about me
I started out in sports and remedial massage therapy, but my clients have been my greatest teachers. They’ve guided me toward new courses, workshops, and webinars that have helped me keep growing and supporting them better. Over the years, I’ve trained in pregnancy massage, scarwork therapy, oncology massage, myofascial release, and body poem. I’m endlessly curious about psychology and the mind-body connection, always diving into the latest research to understand how we can tap into our bodies’ amazing ability to heal.
I love staying active—it’s a big part of who I am. Whether it’s a long walk or Olympic weightlifting and gymnastics, I know what it’s like to push past physical and mental limits and discover what you’re truly capable of. One of my happy places is The Training Zone in Welwyn Garden City - the people, the energy, and the sense of community there inspire me every day, and it’s a place I’m always grateful to be part of.
When I’m not working or moving, you’ll probably find me traveling. There’s just so much world out there to see and so many cultures to learn from.
…So, catch me if you can!
Treatment Room
This space was created with so much thought and care, built from the heart with my clients in mind. It’s designed to be more than just a clinic—it’s a place where you feel impressed, comfortable, and at ease as soon as you walk through the door.
Every detail has been carefully considered to make the environment feel calm and welcoming, so you can truly relax and feel at ease. Here, you’re not just receiving treatment; you’re stepping into a space where your needs are heard, your care is personalized, and you can trust that you’re in expert, compassionate hands. My hope is that when you leave, you’ll feel not only better in your body but more connected to yourself.

Although we specialise in treating private clients, we're also regularly employed as soft tissue therapists by leading sports teams and events.
These include Be Fit London, The London Marathon in association with the British Heart Foundation, Nike Epic Training, London 2 Cambridge challenge, Thames Path challenge, Hever Castle triathlon and The 2015 Argentinian rugby world cup team.
