Wellbeing Massage for Everybody
Davenport, Stockport
About Me
I am qualified in Swedish full body, back, neck and shoulder massage and have extended by practice to include pregnancy and oncology clients. I completed my oncology training at The Christie Manchester. I am currently undertaking my training in Level 4 Sport Therapy.
I developed my love for holistic therapies especially massage when I lost my vision. Massage had a very positive effect on my well being as it helped me to relax and feel more positive. When I was studying for my A-Levels I did my initial training in massage and practiced on family and friends. I loved the practical aspect of massage and how it made people feel and from the positive feedback I received it gave to desire to pursue this as a career and continue with my training in holistic therapies.
Therapies Offered by Me:
Swedish Massage which helps to ease muscular strain by flushing out toxins, improve circulation by increasing oxygen flow in the blood, help to keep ligaments and tendons supple, reduce emotional and physical stress.
Pregnancy Massage performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Swedish Massage is the recommended massage method during pregnancy because it addresses many common discomforts associated with the skeletal and circulatory changes brought on by hormone shifts.
Oncology Massage is the modification of existing massage therapy techniques in order to safely work with complications of cancer and cancer treatment. Anyone who has ever received cancer treatment, from those in active treatment to those in recovery or survivorship, as well as those at the end of life, are best served by a massage therapist who has received training in oncology massage. Essential aspects of an oncology massage therapist’s skill set are an informed understanding of the disease itself and the many ways it can affect the human body; the side effects of cancer treatments, such as medications, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation; and the ability to modify massage techniques in order to adapt for these side effects, as well as for the disease. It is recommended that you check with your oncology specialist or GP before commencing treatment.
Sports Therapy is a form of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue to benefit a person engaged in regular physical activity. Soft tissue is connective tissue that has not hardened into bone and cartilage; it includes skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia.
Sports massage is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. The application of sports massage, prior to and after exercise, may enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injury.
I am currently participating in a Level 4 Sport Therapy training and offering sports massage at a reduced rate of £20.00.
Wow!! What can I say!! My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of a massage by the lovely Katie today and I have to say I have never had such a good massage!! She is such an inspirational young woman who lets nothing stand in the way of her amazing career! She is a true professional who goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and her expertise is fabulous, she knew where we needed working on and really made a difference. Five ???? book this lady you wont be disappointed xx
Oh Katie has the best hands for massage, she’s firm and really gives you a good going over if that’s what you’d like of course!
Highly recommended
Just had my first massage with Katie and I can truthfully say it was the best massage I’ve ever had! I feel like she’s totally straightened my back and shoulders out and got rid of all my knots! Katie is totally professional and so friendly – whole experience was so lovely. Looking forward to my next one in a few weeks. Highly recommend.
First time with Katie on Tuesday, most certainly won’t be my last. Highly recommend her massage treatment and in her words ‘I love a challenge’. I’ve already booked my next treatment to get back on track before regular maintenance. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Katie to anyone
Katie is an absolute god send, over the years I’ve been through my fair share of massage therapists and none of them can compare to Katie, Always welcoming, Always smiling and Always listens to what’s not right and gets stuck in, I suffer with transformed chronic cluster migraines and Katies Indian head massage helps release the pre migraine pressure build up and helps deal with the post migraine head fog and chemical hangovers. I wont go anywhere else X
Been having massage,s with Katie for about 18 months I had a particularly bad flareup on my back on thought worth a try,I have never had a massage previously and was a bit nervous and unsure,but Katie is just amazing she helped my back made me feel at ease and we had a good laugh.
Since that appointment I go regularly and wouldn’t miss it for anything..
Please don’t hesitate if you are in pain like I was or want any treatment Katie is just brilliant.. Philip Archer..
Fabulous back, neck and shoulder massage by Katie, she knows how to find and soothe the knots. Always come away feeling better after a visit to Katie. Looking forward to my next visit to start my 2025 self-care resolution.
