About me
I have been a Tennis Coach for 20 years, working in 2 different leisure centres, a high performance academy and spent 2 summers in the USA in a multi sports Camp.
I turned to Sports Massage during the pandemic, wanting to help people in a different way, using my own experience with injuries to understand the importance of rehab, maintenance & self-care.
I have volunteered in a number of running events over the past 5 years. Trained with and looked after a group of athletes competing in the likes of Tough Mudder, Spartan & Hyrox events.
I have been working in a similar organisation looking after Pilates, gym & running enthusiasts & specialise in scar tissue massage helping those who are recovering from the likes of C-sections, ACL repairs and hip replacements.
