My name is Katie and I have been working with holistic therapies since 2009. The first massage I ever received was in Beijing, China, when I was 22. I remember my muscles feeling fantastic after, as well as feeling re-invigorated. As I experienced more and more treatments, I realised I wanted to be able to offer this support to others, so I trained up in these core styles that offer a beautiful range of experiences. Working with clients is a pleasure for me, as I love to meet people. I hope it will also be a pleasure for you, as we work our way through your aches and pains and towards a greater sense of well-being.
