  • Creating space

    At yoga, I hear the teachers say create space! My Thai teacher Diego, discussed creating space, when he was talking about the sen (energy) lines; opening the wind gate, which means releasing blockages along the body’s energetic pathways. This idea connects closely with the concept of qi in Chinese medicine — the vital life force that flows through the body.

    As gravity pulls on our structure and through repetitive strain it can cause tissues to become compressed and is often contributed to pain or stiffness.

    That is why creating space is important. Massage can facilitate this by generating movement within the tissues, around the joints and increase the blood and lymphatic circulation.

  • Celebrating 3 years

    I have been a massage therapist since 2017. So after renting rooms where I couldn’t make my own and never having a window to look to or even open, I finally found this beautiful space 3 years ago. The studio is in the heart of the Ouseburn valley and is my pride and joy. The grade II building has some beautiful features, such as, high ceilings, parquet floor and windows with a view to a sycamore tree and the green.

    I appreciate all the clients who have come to see me at the studio in the last years.

    To celebrate, I am offering £10 during the month of September on Thai Fusion treatments. Use code 3YEARS to redeem it.
