Holistic Massage Therapist, Breath Coach & Rebalancer
You’re rushing from one deadline to the next, keeping all the balls in the air and constantly ‘on’. In short: you’re surviving on sheer grit and willpower. Your mind is in charge; your body simply has to follow. But as long as your nervous system is in that survival mode, your muscles remain tense and your breathing remains shallow. Your mind only truly finds peace when your body feels it has the space to do so. After all, relaxation is something you can’t force. You can’t control control, and so you can’t let go of it either. I invite you to spend an hour (or an hour and a half) during which you don’t have to change a single thing.
We don't need to ‘fix’ anything here. Your body is not a problem to be solved, but the place where you may learn to listen again to what it is telling you. I work with slow, mindful massage and Rebalancing - a form of therapeutic bodywork - where you learn to meet and feel through tension instead of ignoring it. I never painfully push through blockages, but move with what your body can allow in that moment. Only when the physical resistance subsides, does it create space to breathe and recover again.
I know the dynamics of that constant pressure from my previous life in film and television. Since 2009, this bodywork has been my profession. I help you reconnect with your own base and leave the studio with renewed grounding.
You are welcome to:
Holistic Massage & Rebalancing: Slow, mindful bodywork and conscious breathing to help you shift your focus from your mind to your body, creating space for a new perspective.
Conscious Connected Breathing: A one-to-one session in which you breathe through physical and mental resistance to encounter and release built-up tension and trapped emotions, with space for deep integration afterwards.
Restorative Foot Massage: Pure relaxation for your nervous system through gentle reflexology.
You can book a session with me via the booking system; I work on Monday afternoons.
