After qualifying in 2004 with a BSc Hons Degree in Sports Rehabilitation and ITEC Aromatherapy from St Mary’s College, Twickenham, I have dedicated my career to sports, remedial, therapeutic, face and pregnancy massage.
Massage once considered a luxury, is now commonly recognized as an important therapy in helping to maintain our health and well-being, and benefits everyone from professional athletes to business executives to mums and dads - so no matter who you are, or what you do, a course of tailored massage treatments can help you do it better!
I have played sports all my life, have two young children and have moved house several times in recent years, so I know only too well how important it is to maintain my physical health in order to achieve my best performances on the sports field as well as just get through each busy day as a working mother!
Since qualifying I have been expanding my knowledge and honing my skills in massage through advanced courses and treating hundreds of clients from all walks of life. I completed advanced massage training in body, face and pregnancy massage and worked for 8 years from 2005-2013 at Pure Massage London, one of London’s leading massage clinics where I had the privilege to be mentored and taught by Beata Aleksandrowicz, the celebrated massage expert.
Beata and I worked together to create the Pure Massage Advanced Massage School and I took great pleasure in developing and teaching their advanced massage courses, certified by ITEC, before relocating with my family to Kent in 2013 where I joined Glenville Nutrition in Tunbridge Wells as their Clinic Manager. I gained a huge amount of additional knowledge from Dr Marilyn Glenville and her team of nutritional experts, on the importance and complexities of nutrition, and the part it plays in achieving and maintaing optimum health - you can’t out-train a bad diet!
In 2018 my partner, Alan Richings, and I have since relocated again to Storrington in West Sussex (hopefully for the final time!) and this has allowed us both the chance to finally fulfill lifelong career goals. For me to launch my very own health and wellness business - Richings Health; and for my partner who is a second degree black belt, to open Richings Korean Martial Arts School. Our businesses are very much linked and focus around your complete health and well-being, from physical exercise and good nutrition to maintaining both physical and mental health and wellness through body massage treatments.
We only have one mind and body and I am passionate about helping all of my clients along their journey to richer health.
