Ease, Restore & Rediscover Movement through bespoke Soft Tissue Therapy, Sports Massage, Remedial Massage, Pregnancy Massage, and Myofascial Release.
Warm, professional care in Southcote, Reading. EASE, RESTORE, REDISCOVER MOVEMENT. As a Soft Tissue Therapist, I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals experiencing minor and chronic musculoskeletal injuries or pain. My approach is also ideal for anyone looking to move with greater ease or reduce tension. I work using a combination of sports, remedial, and advanced clinical massage techniques, honed through training with the London School of Sports Massage (LSSM) and the Jing Institute of Massage and Complementary Medicine. In addition to the above, I am also trained in pregnancy massage and hot stone therapy through the Jing Institute. I also have kinseology taping qualification. I am fully insured, a Member of the Institute of Sports and Remedial Massage (ISRM), hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate, a BTEC L5 Professional Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy and a BTEC Professional Diploma in Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage. I have also undertaken further training in Mental Health specifically developed for Massage Therapists. Before embarking on my journey as a Soft Tissue Therapist, I was a Nursery Nurse for many years, working with children with additional needs and supporting vulnerable families. This experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of care and compassion, which I bring into my therapy practice. As a mother of two young adults, I understand the demands of a busy life and the importance of maintaining a healthy balance. Outside of my work, I enjoy photography, long distance and trail running, cycling, yoga and generally spending time in the great outdoors. SERVICES AVAILABLE:
Pre and Post Event Massage
Pre event massage: Prepares the joints, tissues and mind for optimal performance. Post event massage: Relaxes the nervous system, helps prevent post event soreness and aids range of movement. Both treatments avoid deeper, prolonged soft tissue work to align with event timing. Soft Tissue Therapy
Combines sports and remedial massage with advanced clinical massage, hot stones and stretching techniques to target individual needs. Whether you’re an athlete looking to enhance your training, someone seeking pain-free movement, or you simply would like to manage daily stress, tailored treatments can help. Pregnancy Massage
Specialised treatments to help expectant mothers manage common pregnancy-related aches, pains, and conditions. These nurturing sessions offer not only physical relief but also a calm space for you to relax and focus on yourself
Discount for Parents or Carers of Children with Additional Needs
As a parent of a neuro diverse young adult, I genuinely believe it is so important to look after your own physical health and general well-being. Soft Tissue Therapy can be highly beneficial for this. I aim to make these treatments as affordable as possible by offering a discount.

A nice little reminder from the North London School of Sports Massage...Treatments (especially 'Sports' or 'Deep' Massage) do not need to be painful to be effective and beneficial😊

It’s always lovely receiving reviews like these; it’s one of the many reasons I do what I do! 💛
For me, quality care is more than providing a service. It’s about taking the time to truly listen and understand your individual needs, so that together we can create a safe, appropriate and effective treatment plan — one that can be modified and reviewed along the way to ensure it continues to be right for you.
No two people who come to see me are the same, and that’s why an individualised approach matters.
Hearing that this care and attention makes a difference is humbling, rewarding and means a lot, thank you🙏🏻!

Remembering my feet after a great sunny, Saturday event! ☀️
I really enjoyed running round and round for the day on my own little running adventure on Saturday and was very grateful to give the arches of my feet a little hug with some warm stones and a massage afterwards. (Just to reassure you — the stones are thoroughly cleaned between each use!)
Our feet really are amazing structures, yet we often don’t give them the respect and attention they deserve. We spend a lot of time on them especially when running or walking. 🏃♀️🚶♀️
The three arches of the foot — medial, lateral and transverse — all play an important role throughout the gait cycle, helping with shock absorption and propulsion and providing support and stability. It’s no wonder that feet can start to feel sore or achy after countless steps over the course of a day.👣
If you’re regularly on your feet, a keen walker or runner, or spend your working day in rigid or heavy work shoes, your feet may well benefit from some dedicated attention. A foot massage with integrated warm stones that works into the soft tissues of the plantar and dorsal surfaces can be a great way to help them feel cared for and refreshed.
Please don’t ever hesitate to ask if you feel your feet could do with some attention.
They carry you through your whole day and often deserve a little TLC too!

Whilst I am also busy helping our youngest prep for Uni life in a few weeks time (aka as IKEA time), I thought I would post this little, gentle reminder.....

Posting this nice and early this year due to popular demand!
2026 has been by far my busiest year in the treatment room, so if you’re starting to think about autumn training and races, I’d recommend giving me a shout sooner rather than later.
This will ensure we can get your treatment dates booked in around your event and have you feeling your best when it matters most.
..and if you are visiting this page new today...
Whether you are training for your first or 100th event, running roads or trails, please do not hesitate to get in touch to discuss how regular treatments can help reduce aches (or 'niggles') and increase range of movement for your next run and beyond!
