Sports Massage Therapist, Founder

Following a period of post graduate study with Chris Phillips and his super team at the Cotswold Academy, I set up Pro-Activ to offer sports massage, laser therapy, hot stone massage, and taping techniques to all types of people. From those who just enjoy a gentle daily walk, to those that are really keen to take their sport to the highest level. 

​

I have a particular passion for helping sports people meet the demands of their sports, optimise their performance, reduce their risk of injury and manage existing injuries.  I also believe that everyone should thrive, not just survive, and therefore also enjoy helping people who enjoy sport at a lower level, not just those that are pushing for the top.

​

Aside from sports people, I am able to help people who suffer from problems such as sore muscles or joints from repetitive movements. You don't have to be an athlete! 

​

I have developed an interest in using medical lasers over the last few years, and now do some teaching and technical work in that field, helping other therapists to understand laser technology/physics, and explaining how to use lasers in practice. 

​

Away from work, my life is about dogs, horses and the outdoors. I'm kept busy by the animal element to my business, Cotswold Animal Therapy.
