Over the last year I’ve been in Morzine ski resort (France) working with Sports and Deep Tissue Massage, aiding recovery & maximising clients time to shred on the hill! Using interseason as a time to travel & explore other cultures. Previously, I spent the summers massaging at UK festivals, in beautiful yurts with excellent background music – also delivering mobile massage treatments across Brighton and Cornwall. Originally, I began working in luxury spas across the UK offering therapies aimed to relax the body and mind. I’m studying personal training to help clients better manage and prevent any injuries, with a focus on women’s health.

What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job?
Having been through a knee injury from snowboarding myself at a time when I was young and had no awareness of the importance of recovery and strength training – I’m now in a position where I can help people through massage and also explain the importance of recovery as well as really knowing & listening to your body. I’m particularly interested in women’s health and how to support women in sport.
