Introduction: I blend elements of what I have learned through each of Yoga, Massage and ChiWalking/ChiRunning into all sessions with my clients. I find that each discipline complements one another. For example, I will often give my massage and running clients some yoga stretches or strengthening exercises to do in their own time to address their specific needs. I will recommend massage or another type of bodywork to my running clients if they are particularly tight in specific areas of their body. Being an athlete myself and having suffered from many injuries and health issues myself, helps me to be a more effective healer since I often can understand first hand how my clients feel. The massage technique that I learned is Raynor therapeutic massage. Since it blends many different types of massage, I believe it to be one of the most powerful, holistic and therapeutic massage techniques there is. I love helping people to find more ease in their movement and within their body and mind, and reduce pain and discomfort. I love feeling that I'm making a positive impact on people's health, wellbeing and happiness. I love sharing my knowledge of what has helped me to heal my own body, and love inspiring and motivating others.

I booked Sally for a massage last night and, let me tell you, it was world changing. She took the time to talk to me, hear where I have aches/pains and just generally got to know me. The massage itself was both relaxing and intense. I had no idea how tight and sore I was until I got up from the table. Suddenly I felt 10lbs lighter and like my blood was moving faster. She has magic hands that Sally! Bonus points - Sally is just a generally kind and lovely woman. I can't wait to go back!

Thanks Marian. It was a pleasure meeting you and working with you. I hope you continue to feel the benefits after the massage and have a wonderful rest of the week!

Massage Therapy

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was a triathlete and runner and was always getting injured. Yoga helped me to stay more connected and listen to my body and kept my mind in balance and calmer when I got stressed or anxious about a race. Massage helped to heal my body when I was injured, over-trained or had just done too many hard workouts! ChiRunning helped rid me of knee pain when running and I've never been injured since I learned ChiRunning in 2005. I was so inspired by all this wonderful healing that was given to me that I wanted to share this with others going through similar experiences to what I went through. So I trained as a yoga teacher, massage therapist, ChiRunning instructor and triathlon coach, gave up my corporate job and I'm thrilled to be passing on this amazing gift of teaching and healing to others!
What types of customers have you worked with?
Massage - healing sports injuries, chronic and acute pains, digestive issues, insomnia, anxiety, depression, headaches, migraines, and generally making people feel lighter within their body and mind. Yoga - I teach vinyasa flow yoga and iron yoga and help people to feel the natural flow of energy and rhythm through the body with this movement, strength, stretching, breathing and dynamic flow. Running - I teach private and group workshops to teach people how to run more efficiently and injury-free by ChiRunning. Walking - I teach people to walk more easily and reduce the impact when they walk and run.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Massage is as much of an art as it is a science. Tapping into our intuition when working on someone and feeling what is going on with them energetically, instead of just thinking in terms of physical anatomy, is so important and will provide more profound healing and transformations. I have a 16 year background working in technology in the corporate world and studied Math at Oxford so I also bring an intelligence and a logical mind to all my teaching and healing.
