I have a full sporting background in field hockey, netball, athletics, MMA and Springbok colours for stand-up paddle boarding. I have a great understanding of the mental and physical strains sport and everyday life has on our bodies. I had knee surgery that really pushed me to accept the very same ethos I live by now, prevention is better than a cure. Having a background in First Aid on level 3 for 5 years, I have a good understanding of what the human body needs to recover after injury. Being on top of your fitness game is good but adding massages into that routine is just as important as training and staying fit allows the body to properly rehab and recover. Aromatherapy was something that saved me when I was at my lowest and I add that treatment into most of my Massages as the benefits are not just physically it has a positive impact on your emotional level. I love helping people who want to be helped.

¨Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment.¨
― Vince Lombardi
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. The unexamined life is not worth living. There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance. Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
― Socrates
I take a massage each week. This isn't an indulgence, it's an investment in your full creative expression/productivity/passion and sustained good health.
― Robin S. Sharma
¨Our bodies are our gardens – our wills are our gardeners.¨
― William Shakespeare
“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”
― Socrates
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
