Summary

Being a Remedial Massage Therapist for most of my working career, 30 years to be to be exact, has shaped me into the person I am today. My business of 10 years, Time to Unwind Remedial Massage, cated for and enhanced my clients well-being and recovery through advanced techniques like dry needling, cupping and deep tissue massage techniques coupled with exceptional customer service.

My dedication to continuous learning and empathetic client interactions led to significant retention rates, showcasing my expertise in remedial massage and my ability to connect and communicate effectively.

My passion is in supporting my community and enhancing the lives of people through care, kindness, nurture, and compassion.

Likewise, being a Pilates instructor has given me insight into the physical body that will assist me to support people in the community in a more holistic way.
