As a former professional dancer, I experienced first hand the benefits of massage therapy in managing injuries and enhancing performance. This inspired me to become a certified NZQA Massage Therapist with experience in Remedial Massage, and specialising in advanced Myofascial Release techniques.
Before transitioning into the health and wellness industry, I trained and performed as a contemporary dancer across the UK. I have lived in Queenstown for 6 years, where I focus on supporting clients achieve their goals through prioritising recovery.
I am passionate about the mind-body connection and believe a positive mindset is essential for effective training and recovery. I strive to balance an active lifestyle that incorporates rest and recovery and I’m excited to be part of the team at The Mill, helping others on their wellness journey. View details »
