About me...
I help busy, stressed people who struggle with back, neck, and shoulder pain...
...because I’ve been there too! I'll admit, I haven’t always prioritised my own self care! I know I have underestimated the need to nurture myself and what a negative effect this had on my health and wellbeing and the toll that takes. When life is hectic, prioritising yourself feels impossible, even when pain is dragging you down, making you exhausted and grumpy. Having a massage can feel as though you are rewarding yourself with a well earned break, but you are actually investing in your health and happiness and prioritising self care. Massage isn’t just a treat. It eases pain, improves sleep, and reduces stress. I'd love to help you feel lighter, calmer, and more like yourself again.​
More than just massage! Personalised care that puts you first
I opened my massage treatment room in Hawick in June 2024 after working as a mobile therapist and a career in nursing since 2007. Working as a nurse across the UK, including eight years in cancer care, gave me deep insight into the human body, pain, and recovery. In nursing, I often found myself stretched too thin, unable to give the level of one to one care that people truly needed. Massage therapy allows me to give people the time, care, and individual attention they truly deserve. I love to see how my powerful treatments improve my clients wellbeing by treating their pain, making them feel lighter, more relaxed and hearing how much they benefit from my therapies.
Come as you are! Massage is for everyone. Scars, body hair, medical equipment like catheters or stoma bags - none of that should stop you from experiencing the physical and mental benefits of touch. My background as a nurse also means that I have seen it all and I can't be shocked! I also take great care in selecting gentle, high quality products that are kind to your skin and the environment. If you have sensitive skin or specific preferences, all treatments can be delivered with unscented products, and I will always consider your needs during our consultation.

Why I Do This Work
​
I absolutely value the time I spend on myself, as I know when I neglect my body and mind it can leave me feeling negative and exhausted. Now, I feel my best when I make time to look after myself and do the things I love - walking in the hills with my dog, Eve, or heading off in the campervan with my partner. I'm originally from Edinburgh but I feel so lucky to be living in the beautiful Borders now. I love being outdoors and the feeling of freedom that brings.
Your wellbeing matters - Make it a priority
​
Knowledge, experience, and professionalism are the foundation of my work. Every treatment is tailored to you - your needs, your comfort, your wellbeing. Whether you’re looking for pain relief, stress reduction, or simply time to relax and nurture yourself, I’m here to help. Looking after yourself shouldn't be a luxury - it's essential. I would love to help you if you are ready to find out how massage can positively impact your body and mind, because you deserve to feel your best.
