Qualified Aromatherapist, Massage Therapist & Reflexologist

My interest in alternative therapies developed through working with elderly people in a residential home. After qualifying I also became involved with parents and children in a Centre for Children with Special Needs. I have Home Office authority to work with children.

I specialise in working with people who are feeling the stresses of modern day living and find it difficult to relax and let go of pathways of anxiety and nervousness, also the elderly, frail and fragile. For this I have studied a massage technique named the ‘M’ Technique; specifically developed by a British Doctor to be very gentle and relaxing, also ideally suitable.

Amanda is registered with the CThA (Complementary Therapists Association) and the CNHC (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council). She is qualifed in Holistic and Deep tissue massage and Sports massage.

She can often be found on the touchline of her local football club where she works alongside the physio or at music concerts where she is often massaging the artists!! She has been working at the Glastonbury Festival this year providing massage for the artists at the Jazz World Stage, including Rolf Harris, Jamie Cullum, The Streets and the Black Eyed Peas!!

She also provides on-site massage for some local offices as well as working at both practices.

Having encountered and practised many forms of body-work as a dancer and teacher of dance, I was keen to discover more about massage as a profession.

I qualified in Holistic Massage Therapy four years ago and have since been working from home and, in the last eight months, have been working at the Wells Road Osteopathic clinic. I am interested in discovering what each person needs, which can sometimes mean firm muscle work and other times a more gentle approach – usually a combination of the two. The link between Dance and Massage Therapy is very clear and useful to me as a practitioner.

I am a qualified Massage/Bodywork therapist with more than ten years of experience in providing treatments.

For over four years, I have concentrated on a new approach to Massage.

‘NO HANDS® Massage' is an original system of Massage and Bodywork developed over ten years by therapist Gerry Pyves.

Rather than using my hands, I use the ‘soft front' (flexor muscles) of both forearms; powered by an increased use of my own bodyweight, this elevates the power of the Massage and allows a deeper and more releasing treatment to be possible.
