Each of my massage sessions offer warm, nurturing, healing, intuitive touch, drawing on my wealth of experience and toolbox of techniques acquired since training with the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork over 25 years ago.
‘A profoundly deep, releasing and relaxing treatment. Amazing skill and intuition!' Saravantu, Buddhafield, July 2019.
I combine flowing strokes, and deep tissue work, body-rocking and the mobilising of limbs and joints to coax a letting go and sensitive release of held tensions. The intention is to help you come back to yourself - reintegrating mind, body and emotions, and inviting you to drop deeper into your essence, melting away whatever holds you back.
"Such a powerful massage experience ... Intentional touch ... that invited my whole body to surrender" Karen, Buddhafield July 2019
MY BACKGROUND
I've 25 years massage experience since training with the Bristol Centre for Massage and Bodywork and qualifying with the Massage Training Institute in 1993. I've undertaken extensive advanced training since. My treatments incorporate innovative 'RhythmMobility' techniques which combine rocking and stretching with deep tissue work and hands free massage, giving me a range of resources to adapt each treatment uniquely to each individual.
‘Absolutely amazing - the rocking is so powerful - I haven’t had a massage like this before - highly recommended!’ Prue
I’ve also worked in and run a range of innovative mental health organisations in South Wales and the West, and undertaken deep personal development and spiritual exploration over many years with inspiring teachers such as Jewels Wingfield and Jan Day. In 2018 I qualified in Psychosynthesis Coaching for Leadership and am currently establishing my practice and website.
These learnings and experiences help me stay fully present with whatever unfolds in a treatment, holding a safe space for any physical and emotional release that occurs and supporting subsequent grounding and integration.
"very present, clear and strong but gentle contact. I can feel your depth and understanding of bodies” Clare, Buddhafield Festival
I’ve recently moved to Southwell, near Nottingham, where I'll soon be offering massage and building my new Coaching practice. As well as my ‘mobile massage’ practice in Bristol I also offer a two day massage clinic in Sheffield each month.
Between 2007 and 2010 I developed my massage skills as one of the On the Spot team treating crew and artists at Glastonbury Festival's John Peel Stage and other Festivals.

“Wonderful! Pumped to do my show now.” Marina Diamandis ‘MARINA & THE DIAMONDS’
"Just had something similar in San Diego, you are far better" Katie White ‘THE TING TINGS’
I have also helped facilitate the Buddhafield Festival Healing Garden Communal Om (shared massage space) between 2006 and 2014 and continue to offer massage from my own space there.
