Bodywork that works with the whole of you
My clinical specialism is in treating acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain through evidence-informed techniques, centred around the biopsychosocial model of pain. This model moves beyond the traditional biomedical model by emphasising that physical health is influenced by emotions, behaviours, and environment. In every sense, this is a holistic way of working.
If you want to switch off from the constant stress of the modern world, are feeling stiff from too much sitting at your desk, suffering from chronic pain, or struggling with an injury, I can help you to get back to balance in your body and mind.
I am trained in deep tissue massage, sports massage, direct and indirect myofascial release, acupressure work, hot and cold stone work, craniosacral techniques, breath work and trigger point therapy. I flow my techniques together in a way that does not promote pain but enables your body to bring itself into balance.

Good bodywork is a two-way process where you and I work together. Every treatment is unique and I do not work to any set routine. I will communicate with you and work 'with' you towards your goals rather than just 'doing' stuff to you.
In your first appointment, we will spend some time together exploring the pain you are living with, the history of your body and how your pain affects your everyday life. We will agree on an outcome that you’d like to work towards and a realistic plan of how to achieve this. Following an assessment of your body and movement, you will receive hands-on bodywork, utilising a range of soft tissue techniques suited to your needs. When we work, it is always in a way that calms your nervous system and targets areas of pain.
An initial appointment at my space in Macclesfield is always 90 mins. This longer session is essential if you have chronic pain, trauma, hypermobility, or ana injury because it gives us time for a thorough consultation, assessment, treatment and discussion of aftercare.
I also offer a 60 min maintenance treatment - these treatments are aimed at bodies free from injury or pain.
