My journey

My passion for Soft Tissue Therapy was sparked when after my third knee injury and ACL reconstruction, I found myself becoming more and more intrigued by what back then was a whole new world to me. The therapists I worked with over those endless months of rehab had a huge impact on me, both in terms of physical recovery and mental attitude. Every treatment, every word of encouragement would take me one step closer to being able to play basketball again – which was always my goal.

My career at the time was in the localisation industry and my role involved organising dubbing and subtitling for films and TV series. I met lots of interesting people along the way and made some really good friends, one of whom is Julia. She had only just joined when I first approached her, but when you have a massage therapist in the office, the rumour spreads fast! She was extremely passionate about soft tissue therapy and would always speak very highly of the lecturers and tutors she met at the LSSM, where she studied. I knew it would be a long and demanding journey considering my full-time job, but I was too excited about this new adventure and decided to follow her footsteps.

What I learnt about the human body was truly fascinating and coming home from school on weekends I just wouldn’t shut up about it. But most importantly, I realised how rewarding and almost addictive this discipline is. Every body and every story is different, so there are no limits to what you can learn and discover. Your mission is to help someone else feel better, which is exactly what I experienced at the time of my ACL misadventures – just on the other side of the couch.

Mummy Care was a natural extension of this journey for me. If you ask my friends, you will hear them laugh about how the perfect path for me had to involve bumps and babies! Mummy Care really is a dream come true for me. I love working with my clients, hearing their stories and channelling my passion to make a positive impact on their wellbeing.
