Hello, my name is Anastasia and I am a fully qualified Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist and certified in Advanced Myofascial Release.

My work is all about helping people live a fulfilled and active life. Treating acute and chronic pain, assisting in restoring mobility and facilitate the body’s own healing process and rehabilitation. Years of experience and in-depth knowledge of Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology allow me to use manual manipulation to offer highest quality treatments to effectively relieve pain and stimulate healing.

When I first meet a new client I take a lot of time understanding your injury and how it was caused in order to establish the most effective treatment plan tailored to your needs and ability. I will also show you ways how you yourself can take control in further improving your condition and prevent injury in the future.

My particular passion and specialism is Myofascial Release. Fascia [Latin for ‘band’], is the main connective tissue in the body. Myofascial release is a gentle, hands-on, bodywork technique that allows me to work deeply into the body to ease chronic pain and restore alignment and mobility to muscles and joints. It benefits both the most sensitive clients with chronic pain conditions and those with deep tissue restrictions from injury and overuse.

Born and raised in Russia, I started my professional life with a Degree in Chemistry. After working many years across several different industries, it was the arrival of my three children that changed the course of my work life. I had three natural home births and this wonderful experience opened a door to a whole new world to me. I was amazed by the true power of nature, natural healing abilities of the human body and I met a lot of  remarkable people like massage therapists, Cranio Sacral therapists, home midwifes, postnatal doulas, Yoga, Pilates and Chi Qong teachers, movement therapists, Aromatherapists, Ayurveda specialists, Reiki practitioners and many more. 

That was the moment I decided to change the direction of my life and embark on a new exciting venture and become a complimentary therapist myself. I completed the Diploma in Massage and Aromatherapy and then decided to take my knowledge, studies and experience to an even higher level. I am now an Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist with particular interest in Myofascial Release and Cranio Sacral Therapy.
