I believe that we all need to be looking after ourselves more. We all need to be exercising on a regular basis to keep both our bodies and our minds healthy. And as a massage and bodywork therapist, it is my role to make sure that you will be pain-free so that you can work, play and exercise to your utmost.
I’ve been a massage and bodywork therapist for nearly 10 years. My favorite treatment is, hands-down, Thai Yoga Bodywork. Here every muscle of the body gets compressed, stretched and pulled. You’ll come away feeling relaxed, energised and a whole lot less stressed.
And I take techniques from Swedish massage, deep tissue, medical and sports massage, hot stones therapy, suction cups and Thai Yoga Bodywork and use them to create a treatment that is dependent on the needs of the individual client.
I’m a proud Scot, studied psychology and worked with people with learning disabilities in London and then in Jerusalem to teach them skills so that they could lead an independent life. I then spent many happy years working for the Jerusalem Report magazine.
Then back in 2004 I decided to take myself off to Thailand and took a course in Thai foot massage. From there my interest in massage and bodywork grew and I started studying it at Reidman International College for Complementary Medicine, Jerusalem.
I’ve had the privilege of working with a number of Israeli para-Olympians including the women’s and youth goalball teams, (a game for the visually impaired and blind) as well as Israel’s no. 1 para-Badminton player. I’ve even traveled with these teams to tournaments and championships around the world to places such as Finland, Sweden, Japan, China, Hungary and Denmark. I have worked in various spas in and around Jerusalem including Cramim spa hotel as well for the Clalit HMO, in their complementary medical clinics.
