I specialise in a bespoke wellbeing experience  - which includes Mindful Massage as well as mindfulness and compassion practice. 

 

My extensive mindfulness meditation practice combined with Mindfulness Africa facilitator qualification enables me to combine mindfulness with massage.

 

Together with my competitive national and international rowing background, Advanced Sports and Healing Relaxation massage qualifications (Healing Hands International) and my commitment as a healer, this enables me to help clients through a bespoke mind and body wellness journey. I have worked with a wide range of  amateur and professional athletes including  Team SA Paralympic Rowing Squad that has attended several Olympics, as well as Olympic rowers, CrossFit and All Africa CrossFit Championship competitors and a range of other athletes and health practitioners.

 

I now focus on those who choose to take responsibility for their own wellness journey. 

 

To enhance the wellness journey I also work with a range of medical and other professional partners, including chiropractors, physiotherapists, homeopaths, obstetrician gynaecologist, scoliosis specialists, dieticians, nutritional consultants and personal trainers and can refer clients if required.

 

Each session includes a 10 point wellness and lifestyle assessment.  This assessment includes relevant medical issues, injuries, fitness levels, nutrition, hydration and emotional resilience - as well as lifestyle and occupational aspects.  

 

It also includes:

 

• Mindfulness consultation

• Mindfulness breathing techniques (to help you learn to relax)

• Mindful Massage therapy (including deep tissue release, sports, remedial, mindful healing relaxation or a combination, or pre and post partum pregnancy massage)

• Belly breathing muscle activation technique

• Feedback, stretches and follow up and referrals if needed

 

 

Wellness is a balance.  It’s a balance of your state of physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. It’s more than just being healthy. It’s about achieving optimal health in key areas of your life to that you are living life to the fullest. You can achieve this by choosing to adopting a healthy lifestyle

 

To achieve wellness, you have to want to be well. Being mindful allows you to bring an awareness to your current habit patterns so that you can understand yourself and your current choices more fully - and then make choices about your path to wellness. 

 

Wellness involves not only choice, but action.
