An alternative approach to treating chronic pain

From my own personal experience and from the accounts of friends, family and many of my clients, I know how frustrating, debilitating and depressing it can be living with either constant pain or pain that comes, goes or even moves around for no apparent rhyme nor reason.

You may have been left feeling unheard and definitely not helped by the current mainstream approach to pain conditions; being loaded up with prescriptions for pain relief (that you're not keen on taking because, well, have you read that list of side-effects!?), being palmed off with reams and reams of exercises (that you're not sure why or how they're supposed to help) and left on never ending waitlist for specialists who tell you the only option is surgery or worse yet, that nothing can be done to help you.

Maybe you've tried complementary approaches to healing with limited or short-lived results. Then have found yourself on on-going maintenance plans that you're not entirely sure is making any meaningful difference to your pain, let alone having any other benefit to your life.

It's a beautiful blend of Eastern and Western massage styles combined to create a high quality, effective holistic massage therapy.

• manage and support pain conditions before and after any surgery that you need

• find and treat the root cause of unexplained pain conditions including headaches/migraines

• manage the emotional or physical effects of diagnosis of terminal or life changing illness from Cancer to Parkinsons, MS, ME, Fibromyalgia and many other conditions 

• relieve stress and tension

• experience well deserved and often much needed down time 

• improve your sense of wellness

From 20 years experience and on-going training, I know that massage doesn't have to be painful to be effective. You do NOT have to feel battered and bruised following your treatment; in fact this is counter-intuitive - your body and mind can't relax and therefore heal when in 'protect' mode.

What you'll experience with me is nothing like the often brutal and intense sports massage options available, nor the floaty and tickly relaxation style treatments designed to make you feel 'nice'.

There are no 'massage by numbers' style routines or protocols - you are unique, you should receive a unique treatment tailored to your symptoms and needs. I use a listening touch with focused intent to target the muscles and tissues that are contributing to whatever it is that you're presenting with.

​

During the process of working with me you'll be advised and empowered to take charge of your own health and wellbeing; you'll learn how to best manage or even rid yourself of your symptoms altogether with personalised home care advice including stretches, exercises and lifestyle advice to help with issues of the mind, body and soul.

Regardless of your age, gender, background or beliefs I will happily work with you and be respectful of your individual needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns that may be holding you back from deciding to work with me.
