I offer tranquil massage for a busy world. The name of my practice sums it up – stoptheworldandrelax.com.
Massage is a beautiful way to restore connection and harmony between body, mind and spirit, especially if you spend a lot of your life in tense situations, or bent over a laptop and cramped into cars, trains, planes and underground… or just anyway.
It can be a gateway to a relaxed body, tranquil mind, harmony, spiritual fulfilment.
Drawing from a range of massage styles (Swedish Massage, Indian Head Massage, Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage etc), I work with you to co-create the massage session you want. The treatment just for you, right now.
The thing which underlies everything I do and for me the most fulfilling aspect of my practice is working with the very real person which is you, however your body is, and wherever you are at in your life. I can also offer a particularly holistic approach to body, mind and spirit through the embodied sex-coaching approach of Somatic Sexological Bodywork.
Whichever you choose, you can rest assured that this is what I will give, without blurring boundaries and drifting into other modalities. Boundaries, informed consent and ethical practice are fundamental to everything I do. Whether you come for a relaxing massage at times of stress, or to take the first small steps in working through deep seated feelings of shame and inhibition around your body and touch, or just to enjoy a good massage, I will be there working to make sure that you understand and can wholeheartedly consent to everything I give, and that you are empowered to communicate what you want and change your mind throughout. To hold a safe space for you.
I have been a qualified massage professional since 2003, though I have enjoyed giving and receiving massage since way back in the 1970s. In the middle part of my life, I followed a successful career in IT, involving high pressure positions, international travel and long commutes into central London so I well understand the need to rest, recharge the batteries and rebalance.
