ABOUT
Hello and welcome. I am Ellie, a clinical and sports massage therapist with 14 years experience. I love working with people to get their bodies moving and feeling better.
I graduated from Leeds University in 2004 with a degree in Sports science. I worked in youth development engaging young people in sport, exercise and wellbeing. My obsession with massage therapies began in 2010 when I signed up to a Swedish Massage course at the weekends. After that massage and physical therapy has evolved into my career.
​
I think massage has a place for everyone. In the simplest terms, touch soothes and calms. It can return you to your para sympathetic nervous system, the part of your nervous system that cues healing, growth and connection. Yes we need movement and strengthening to adapt the tissues but if we also need rest and recovery. In my experience of working with others and my own chronic pain, getting the balance between stimulus and recovery is key.
​
Each and every one of us have unique lives, personalities and patterns of pain. Communication of needs is key and I like to work with people to develop exercises or practices that will support you and your life in a manageable way.
