Originally, I am from South Africa and whilst missing the sun I am enjoying the UK and plan to stay.

I have built 15 years’ experience covering a wide range of skills from Sports massage Therapy to cupping, scraping, deep tissue massage and maternity massage.  I love using massage tools like cupping and scraping as I have found they provide amazing results.  I enjoy working with all kinds of people, from Sports to your average Joe.  I also believe that massage is the best replacement to using paracetamol or ibuprofen.

My love of sports includes Karate, a sport I have dedicated 29 years to and have now achieved 3^rd Dan, which, I believe also give me an added insight on providing sports massage therapy.  I have also recently taken up Golf, which I’m finding most frustrating, but I love it too.
