I first became aware of the benefits of massage…
when I was a merchandiser in the fashion retail industry. Long hours at a computer with the stress of deadlines, took its toll on my neck and shoulders. Thankfully I found an amazing massage therapist and soon realised that massage wasn't just a luxury! It helped relieve my pain and reduce my anxiety.
I continued to see the benefits of massage whilst undergoing treatment for cancer. It helped me both physically and emotionally, giving me the chance to relax whilst improving my wellbeing. Going through such a life changing experience, really helped me to re-assess my values and what is important in life. I retrained as a massage therapist to help people, no matter what they may be going through.
Everyone is unique and every symptom and experience is different. I ensure each treatment is bespoke and tailored to you. I treat the individual, not the condition.
Living with cancer means I now know the importance of wellbeing. Taking time for self care, reducing stress where possible and looking after yourself should be a priority. Your health is everything.
I relocated to the Lake District to spend my days in one of the most beautiful places in the world. I have now settled in Kendal, Cumbria and look forward to continuing to show people how massage can help improve their life :)

When I’m not massaging…
I enjoy spending time with family, friends and my over-excited but wonderful dog Luna! I love amazing views, walking the fells, outdoor dips, travelling, music and yoga.
Some kind words from my clients…
“I had been suffering from a very sore neck and tight back and shoulders for some time. Katie investigated the problem in detail with emphasis on diagnosing the underlying cause. Her treatments were very effective and got to the root cause of pain (which wasn’t at all where I thought it was!) very quickly. Her massage technique is excellent and her approach is both very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend Katie very highly.”
Richard, Oxfordshire
“After 2 months of fell walking and tired muscles, I found Katie and made an appointment for a massage. I’m so glad I did. My hips, back and knees feel better than ever.”
