Covid 19 Update
I am suspending online Bookings for Face to Face Appointments for now so if you need an appointment please call me on 07594804331
As a Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist I am allowed to remain open during the second lockdown however I will only be open for urgent clinical treatments, business will not be as usual.
I am only able to treat injuries and pain that may escalate if treatment is not provided and will not be offering massage for relaxation or maintenance based treatments. For those of you that need advice, guidance, and those who do not need a face to face appointment, I will continue to offer online consultations via video calling.
Face to face appointment times will be kept to a minimum.
I am a Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist specialising in acute & persistent musculoskeletal pain, recovery from injury or surgery, supporting athletes in training - combining hands on massage techniques with the latest clinical evidence to treat pain and dysfunction.
As a Soft Tissue Therapist I use a combination of hands on massage therapy techniques - Remedial/Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and advanced techniques as well as the initial assessment, including range of movements and specific muscle & joint testing. This enables me to find the cause of the pain and discomfort.
The initial assessment, treatment and aftercare exercises and advice are the 3 stages necessary to complete the rehabilitation of injuries, aches and pains.
Or maybe you just wish to relax and unwind because massage feels awesome!!
My practice is in Dover Kent - convenient for Deal, Folkestone, Hythe, Sandwich and Canterbury. I also offer Reflexology treatments.

Not sure what treatment is right for you?
This is something we can discuss together in our first session. It often helps to clarify a little what you are hoping to gain from the treatment and your needs and goals. Very often I find that people most benefit from a combination of soft tissue techniques and homecare advice and we will discuss a treatment plan to suit your needs on your first session or please feel free to call or email me.
As a qualified reflexologist I understand that treating the whole person is very important and not just specific problems. Reflexology is a wonderful therapy. It feels fantastic, is extremely relaxing and when used in the right way, may help the body recover from a wide range of conditions. I have studied many different forms and approaches to reflexology and also personally benefited from it.
Reflexologists work on the theory that there are micro-systems on the feet and hands that represent a specific organ, muscle or skeletal part of our bodies. By massaging specific points on the feet or hands, we can bring balance to corresponding parts of the body. I look for areas of sensitivity or deposits on the feet or hands that indicate potential weaknesses and causes of problems. By working on these areas reflexology encourages the body to work naturally to recover and maintain its own natural healthy balance leaving us feeling more energized and relaxed.
