Specialties
I practice massage and yoga to help people feel more balanced and healthier.
Sessions are individually tailored to give you the very best treatment. That is why I spend time before each session understanding what is going on both physically and more generally in your life, stress and tensions being such big factors in overall health.
I mix a blend of techniques (lymphatic drainage, deep tissue, holistic, myofascial release, Indian head massage, energy work), combined to suit your needs. Additionally I can add some yoga postures or breathing techniques (Yiengar and flow) during the sessions or as aftercare for longer lasting results.

History
Established in 2011.
I have been massaging as an amateur for over two decades, as it’s my passion. In 2011 I decided to turn this into a profession, and qualified in holistic massage, deep tissue, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage anatomy and physiology. Aside from working with regular high powered and stressed clients in the City, I work in West London, from home, doing home visits or from therapies rooms near by.
I also teach yoga to achieve more health balance and joy in life. I qualified in September 2012 with Mollie McClelland. My style blends y therapy work with Yiengar and flow yoga. Classes are fun, challenging and work at both the physical and emotional level. I mostly teach privates and corporates, aside from covers throughout London.
