Shan Holistic Massage Therapy

I specialise in helping people understand the pain they are feeling so they can become FREE - free FROM pain, and more importantly, free TO TAKE CONTROL of their lives instead of being controlled by pain, anxiety or stress. As a holistic therapist, I don't just look to treat the symptoms. My aim is to work with the 'whole' person to relieve pain and restore balance.

Massage and Reiki works to release held tension, free old fixed patterns in the body, restore mobility and balance, soften the body's defensive 'armouring' and reconnect with its natural energy. Body-mind coaching brings the body into the conversation - it helps you notice what you are 'holding' and shift old patterns of thinking that no longer serve you.

My passion for massage is part of a family tradition inherited from my Burmese grandmother from the Shan mountain state of Burma. Holistic massage is something I have grown up with and have benefitted from as an active sportsman for over 35 years.

In addition, I also draw upon over 30 years of experience, knowledge and skills in managing change in an array of roles - as a senior town planner, customer relations manager, neighbourhood manager, community mediator, community development consultant, trainer, facilitator and coach.
