Why Massage?

I didn’t start Massage for Health simply because I wanted to run a massage business. I started it because I wanted to do something that made a difference to people. After many years as a research scientist in molecular biology and later in PR and communications, I wanted a career where I could work directly with people and have a more immediate impact on their health and wellbeing. So I retrained as a Remedial Massage Therapist and took a leap into something completely new. 

More than 20 years later, I’m so glad I did. 

I’ve always believed that massage is more than a luxury. Our bodies carry us through everything we do work, exercise, stress, injuries, parenting and everyday life and sometimes they need a little care too. 

Sometimes you need treatment for pain or an injury. Sometimes you need help recovering after sport. And sometimes you simply need to stop, breathe and give yourself an hour to relax. 

That’s what Massage for Health is about. We want our clients to feel listened to, cared for and comfortable, while receiving a massage that is suited to their individual needs. After all these years, I still love seeing someone walk out of the clinic feeling better than when they walked in.
