Back in 2020, I was qualified in mathematics and education and preparing for a teaching career. The pressure and stress led me to soon realise this wasn’t my calling and stress overwhelm and anxiety soon followed. I knew I needed to find something to help me manage this and so seeking a release to support my well-being, I signed up for an open evening at a massage school and this completely changed my life in ways I never could have expected. This next bit might sound cliché but I promise it’s how I really felt; as soon as the first class began, I felt this total feeling of ease radiating through my body. I was hooked and in that moment, I knew deep down that this was what I was meant to be doing.

I’d always been interested in all things holistic and growing up, treatments were something I’d ask to be gifted for my birthday because they were always so much more than a massage to me. They were an experience that allowed me to connect back to myself and feel totally cared for, an experience that always left me feeling physically and emotionally lighter.

This is more than a career, it’s an all-consuming passion and I believe that learning and developing in the holistic space is so important to keep enriching your experiences with me. I’m always researching and discovering new skills - I even took six months out to travel which included spending a blissful ten days on a floating raft for a Thai yoga massage training course - an experience which was exactly as it sounds, incredible.

Fast forward to now and Restore is blossoming each year and I am filled with so much gratitude. It’s truly an honour to care for you.
