Like a lot of people working in the world of health and wellbeing, I became a massage therapist to sort MYSELF out. I had a seemingly endless run of injuries, exacerbated mainly by my passion for football, but created by a combination of childhood asthma, overtraining and as a young man, possibly an overreaction to the stresses of life. What started turning things around for me was a visit to a highly recommended massage therapist who not only gave me relief from my agonising lower back pain, but encouraged me to change direction and head into the massage industry myself. Thank you Di, I owe you a lot! In February 2007 I graduated as a Remedial Massage Therapist from the Canterbury College of Natural Medicine and have never looked back. I have attended quite a few post-grad courses since then, but most of my continued learning has been related to the interaction and rapport with my beloved clients. And long may it continue!
