About me
Over the past 8 years I have explored a variety of somatic practices and modalities. With particular interest and experience in Contact Improvisation as well as the Feldenkrais Method, I’ve developed embodied sensitivity which is fundamental to the way I practice massage.
I work in an intuitive and creative way, listening to the individual needs of my clients. While my approach is strongly rooted in sensing and responding to the body in the present moment, it remains grounded in the tried and tested techniques of Thai yoga massage.
MY TRAINING INCLUDES:
-Advanced chair massage with Gladwell School of Massage (accredited by Complementary Health Professionals) (2024)
-Anatomy, physiology and pathology (Federation of Holistic Therapists) (2023)
-Traditional Thai yoga massage course with Betty Papadopoulou (Sunshine Network) (2022)
-Thai massage 1:1 tuition with Justin Philpott (2021)
I am fully insured.
In personal life, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, walking in nature and painting.
Testimonials
“Amazing! The 2hr Thai yoga massage is transformative, I was still feeling the hugely positive mental and physical effects many days later. Anna is very thorough, intuitive and professional, creating a genuinely relaxed and healing atmosphere. The space is calm, uncluttered and warm – the cushioned floor mat used for the massage is more comfortable than most beds! I didn’t have any particular injuries or stress to ‘solve’ beforehand but still chose to have this treatment for the numerous benefits that this type of massage provides. Can’t recommend highly enough!” Ruairi
“It’s been long time since I felt so relaxed. Not only it felt great but I truly believe it was great investment into my health too.
Out of curiosity, after the massage I checked my heart rate. It was 47 bmp – much lower than my usual resting heart rate of 59 bpm. This shows how effective the massage was to sooth my nervous system. Thank you Anna.” Egis
“Anna is amazing! Very knowledgeable, she knows just what my body needs to feel better. Firm but gentle, and each time is different as Anna goes with what she feels is best at that time. Highly recommended, definitely coming back for more” Liv
“I had an amazing massage. Having experienced trauma I was a little shy with being touched initially, but Anna’s beautiful, grounded presence created a safe space. I felt so held, nurtured and peaceful throughout the massage. Afterward I felt a sense of ease and my body was so relaxed. Will definitely be going back for more. Would highly recommend” Antonia
“Lovely Thai style massage from Anna, very nurturing and flowed seamlessly. I felt clear and calm afterwards which wasn’t how I began the session. Would recommend! Many thanks Anna!” Zoe
“I had a pleasure of receiving a massage from Anna on a number of occasions. I very much enjoyed my experiences due to warm and welcoming environment, and Anna’s ability to be physically in contact, but leaving me in my own mental space, which I really appreciate as through receiving a massage I’m also being deeply with myself. Very positive experience overall” Pijus
“I just had a wonderful massage with Anna and I felt like I floated home! It was so relaxing and the energy was so calming and lovely. Thank you so much!” Kira
“I found Anna’s approach very creative and fascinatingly varied! She offers a wonderful combination of professionalism, capability and naturally intuitive care in the process. I felt blissed out and super relaxed, centred and enlivened after the session. I will definitely have another one soon!” Nathan
