About
I am a former teacher with a degree in Human Movement Science. Having taught for 14 years, I relished the opportunity to seek different challenges.
Not wanting to move too far away from my chosen profession I opted to become a fully qualified personal trainer and then more recently a sports massage therapist. With experience in a lot of sporting areas, including hockey at which I played to a top level, and swimming, the choice was not difficult.
My area of expertise in massage therapy is deep and soft tissue massage as well as detecting imbalances with movement. I perform assessments in numerous Range of Movements. These include neck, shoulder, back, hips knees and ankles. Post exercise, what a better way to relax than with a massage.
I would love to be able to offer you the same love for exercise that I share. Exercise can be achieved on a personal one-to-one basis which offers a tailor-made programme suited to your lifestyle and commitments or through group sessions which offers a wider social gathering and an opportunity to build your fitness levels gently.
Being a successful personal trainer is not just about fitness training. Helping your clients make positive changes to their exercise regime, their diet and their general health and wellbeing is important and something that some personal trainers neglect. It is easier to monitor progress in a one-to-one situation when compared to workouts in a gym. My aim is to help.
Sports massage can be undertaken in several places. I work at the Reigate Natural Health Clinic and booking is easy through the website reigatenaturalhealth.com If you would prefer a place of comfort and familiarity then I can offer massage in your home, as I have a mobile table that is easily transported.
