Treading softly
Photo by Louisa Potteron Unsplash Why I changed the way I walk and why you shouldn’t follow suit.
The following is neither intended to convince nor advice.
I am simply sharing my experience and some of my reasoning.
There are so many things I take for granted. Being able to walk is one of them. Nobody taught me how to do it, and I must have spent a good number of months lying on my…

Word of Mouth
It is intensively satisfying to have my clients walking out of a session either smiling, and or deeply relaxed, with ease of movement where there was tension and ache before, connected to themselves and at home in their bodies. I love working with people and glad that what I do is making a difference.
It is also very satisfying when my clients leave me feedback. I am thankful for last months…

Body, Mind and Movement
What has become more and more important for me as a therapist over the years is how I care for myself, how I manage my energy so that I can continue to be there for people, so that I can look forward to every session and enjoy what I do without suffering burnout or fatigue. In July, Andrea and I run our first CPD workshop together at the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork where I work as a…

Well-being hack *1
In my last blog, I talked about relaxation and massage, what it is, and what it is not, in my view. I would like to begin sharing some well-being hacks that have become regular habits of mine.
One of my favourite places to relax in is the sauna. About 2 years ago I visited the sauna extensively, during my recovery from a back injury but it is part of the culture I was brought up with.
What…

What we can we as massage therapists add to the work of a chiropractor?
A question that I was asking myself when I began working at a chiropractic clinic.
In massage therapy we predominantly work with the soft tissues of the body, but also with joint mobilisation and sometimes bone stimulation. Simply put, much like the guy ropes of a tent, the soft tissues hold our body together by…

Doing nothing is not the same as relaxation. Few of us understand relaxation well enough to access it regularly, and at will to reverse the heightened nervous system response we call stress.
Celebrate your body
Stop judging your body, how you look, move, or feel. It does not judge you. It serves you beautifully, no matter what and only does what you ask it to do. It is time to celebrate it for that reason alone. Celebrate it for how well it responds to what you do, think and believe even though its responses might not be desired or wished for.
We all make decisions based on how we feel, and we are…

I still have two spaces left for massage therapy on Thursday the 12th of April starting after 17:30. Not many people know that I have been practicing martial arts for over 20 years because it is not as relevant for anyone else but me.
Are good intentions enough to embody change? Are you feeling bombarded with good advice and suffer from information overload about what to do, eat and how to move, how to stick with resolutions?
What if we made massage as essential as coffee?
Coffee and massage. What a brilliant combination. I love the taste of coffee in the morning. And nothing beats a good massage to make me feel absolutely brilliant. I still remember how difficult it was to find a decent coffee on Britain’s high streets 20 years ago. Instant coffee was the order of the day. A lot has changed since and good quality coffee has found its place in our culture. In the same way, massage therapy is no longer regarded as unusual, mainly for athletes or only found in Spas. More and more people are seeking help when their well-being and movement quality are compromised, or when they simply want to feel good. And as we learn more about how our bodies work, how dysfunction comes about and how to remedy it, we find better ways of caring for and looking after ourselves. We no longer ascribe to the notion that aging is responsible for all ailments and that we have to put up with discomfort and pain, no matter what. It's important to pay attention to how we feel before little imbalances become big problems and before tissue changes become chronic. Therefore it seems essential to cultivate that inner perception which feeds our body awareness and body image. Massage counts definitely among the few capable modalities of bodywork, to do just that.
So then, what if we made massage as essential as coffee? How do I take my coffee? Dark roasted with chocolate undertones and black of course. How do I take my massage? Preferably, lying down.
