I am a qualified therapist in Swedish, Indian and Thai Foot Massage. My treatment journey began 4 years ago with the Scottish Massage School, Edinburgh and recently Gateway workshops. For the past 20 years I have worked as an actor and drama facilitator which has given me an emotional intuition and awareness of my own body. Working in theatre during rehearsals and performance can be physically demanding and this is where I discovered the benefits massage can have on aching muscles as well as relaxing the body and mind. Whether you are coming along to simply switch off and relax or for specific muscle relief I will take you through a consultation and tailor your treatment to ensure you get the maximum benefit. I am a fully insured member of the Scottish Massage Therapists Association (SMTO) and adhere to SMTO’s Practice standards: Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics and follows the SMTO’s Continued Professional Development Policy, Disciplinary and Complaints Policy. I use a variety of natural waxes from Songbird with a vegan option also available. Grapeseed oil for those with sensitive skin, acne, eczema, psoriasis or nut allegies. I welcome hairy legs from both men and women so please don’t let this be a worry. I promise you it makes no difference and will not affect your massage. I will be at Napier’s, Bathgate every Friday from 09.30am – 17.30pm I look forward to meeting you!
