Holistic massage therapist, MTI trained

Hello, I’m Iona. I work holistically, using intuitive touch and tailoring each treatment to the individual.

My practice is particularly centred around creating a safe, calm space for people who may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally depleted, stressed or simply in need of some time for themselves. Sometimes we don’t need to do anything or achieve anything, we just need space to slow down, switch off and feel held and cared for.

I offer flowing, deeply relaxing and nourishing massage, using gentle, intuitive touch alongside deeper pressure and more focused work when needed. I work with the body rather than following a set routine, allowing the treatment to adapt to what you need on the day.

I’m particularly interested in the relationship between the nervous system, stress and chronic pain, and how creating a sense of safety can support relaxation and help the body move out of a heightened state.

Alongside my massage training, I have a background in nursing and am currently studying an MSc in Counselling. My ongoing learning in psychology and counselling continues to shape my understanding of the mind-body connection and brings curiosity, presence and compassion into my practice.

Whether you’re looking for deep relaxation, support with sleep difficulties, tension or ongoing pain, or simply somewhere to put everything down for an hour, my aim is to create a space where you can just be, without judgement, expectation or anything you need to give back.
