About Massage Therapy

Targeted massage treatments to support pain relief, wellbeing, recovery, and relaxation.

Whether you’re struggling with muscular tension, recovering from injury, boosting sports performance, or simply seeking a moment of calm, professional massage therapy can make a profound difference. Based in Poynton, I offer a range of evidence-based massage and manual therapy treatments to clients across Stockport, Cheshire, and Greater Manchester — all delivered with expertise, care, and an understanding of the body.

As a fully qualified Clinical Sports Therapist and Rehabilitation Practitioner, I specialise in
Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Swedish Massage, Indian Head Massage, Pregnancy Massage, and Lymphatic Drainage Massage.
Every session is tailored to how your body feels on the day, ensuring safe and effective results.

What to Expect from Your Massage Therapy Session

My approach is always client-centred. Before your first treatment, we take time to understand what’s happening physically, mentally, and emotionally. This ensures your massage is targeted, safe, and personalised.

During your session, I adjust the pressure, techniques, and focus of your massage to suit your comfort and goals — whether that’s deep muscular release, gentle relaxation, or support during recovery.

Expect a calm, supportive space where you can reset, unwind, and feel genuinely cared for.
