As well as being a qualified sports massage therapist, I am a long-distance runner, and former business owner with over 20 years of self-employment experience. I know what it means to rely on your body—not just for sport, but for everyday work and life.

 

I came to sports massage after completing 15 marathons and navigating my own fair share of running-related injuries. Like many runners, I’ve dealt with tight calves, sore hips, niggling knee pain, and the frustration of wanting to train while knowing my body needed proper care. 

 

Before retraining, I ran my own automotive business for two decades—a physically demanding role that involved long hours, repetitive strain, and working in challenging conditions. That background gave me a deep respect for how the body responds to load, imbalance, and overuse, and how essential recovery is for long-term performance. 

​

In 2018, during a challenging period in my life, I was introduced to Reiki. While I’ve always been practical and strong-minded, this experience helped me slow down, calm my nervous system, and reconnect with myself on a deeper level. At the time, I felt physically and mentally at my best — and went on to complete a marathon in my fastest time, despite not training as intensely as before.

​

That experience reinforced my belief in the strong connection between stress, mindset, and physical performance. Today, I offer  Reiki simply as a non-religious, optional relaxation-based therapy that can support overall well-being alongside physical treatments.

 

Today, I work with runners, gym goers and anyone who wants to:

 

• Prevent injury

• Recover faster between training sessions

• Manage ongoing aches and tightness

• Stay consistent and enjoy their training and mobility long-term

​

Two of my regulars are in fact my own two sons, who are MMA fighters and have just recently started competing. This can be anything from Pre or post event sports massage or a specific targeted area where they may have showed some degree of weakness in training.

 

 

My approach is practical, focused, and tailored to you. Whether you’re training for your first 10K, preparing for a marathon, or simply want to keep pain-free, treatments are adapted to your goals, your training load, and your body.

 

As a runner myself, I understand the mental side too—the temptation to push through pain, the fear of losing fitness, and the relief of finally feeling things loosen and move properly again.
