After years of working in a variety of industries and extensive travel, Teresa decided to pursue a long-time passion and completed her massage qualifications while living in London. Teresa has always played sports and loves the great outdoors so sports massage was a natural progression. From years of sports, weight training and yoga, she has developed an understanding of many of the muscular-skeletal issues active people of all ages face.

She is passionate about health, well-being and mindfulness and how important strength and regular movement is in our everyday lives. Her treatments are very client focused combining whatever techniques are required to give you the best possible outcomes and always within your comfort levels.
