YOUR THERAPIST
I'm Ella and I'm a Level 4 qualified Holistic Massage Therapist. I am incredibly passionate about the healing power of touch and how beneficial therapeutic touch can be to encourage and support our bodies' natural ability to self-heal. How allowing ourselves the time to enter a state of pure rest and to receive touch in this way can have profound effects, whether taking a moment out from the stresses of our busy lives or seeking relief from chronic pain.
I began my training in India in 2017, learning about the ancient Indian science of Ayurveda and the massage principles within it. Hooked on the incredible wisdom of our bodies, I went on to gain my professional training at Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork (BCMB) in 2021 with a Level 4 Diploma in Holistic Massage, where I am now very proud to be a part of the teaching team as Assistant Tutor, and where I can continue to share my passion and knowledge with fellow and future massage therapists.
My continuing professional development (CPD) is so important to me, that I am constantly learning and adapting. I am trained in Pregnancy massage and TMJ massage (read more on the Treatments page).
Your sense of safety and trust is so important for you to be able to reap the benefits of touch and so I promise I will endeavour to make sure you feel at ease and secure in the space I create. We all deserve the chance to be held and to let go.
I look forward to hearing from you,

what to expect...
During a session we will always start with a consultation to check in with how you are feeling and what you are hoping for from your treatment. If it is your first treatment then this will be more in depth to make sure I am aware of anything that might affect your massage.
If you are new to massage, I will explain how your massage will look and for all clients we will agree on a treatment plan before we begin your massage. Of course, we might change our mind or discover somewhere that requires more attention, so this plan is always a template that you are welcome to change at any time... It is your treatment!
