Hi, I'm Jon
Massage therapist, with a love for movement
My interest in massage originated while training as a contemporary dancer at Trinity Laban. I was introduced to contact improvisation and other physical practices which used different bodywork influences. During that time I was exposed to injuries and was challenged physically and mentally. I learned how the body and mind can restore and connect through human touch. I found massage therapy an aid to heal, prepare the body for movement and cultivate awareness.
I have always been fascinated by the moving body and I feel that my previous dance experience and massage complement each other as it deepens my curiosity of how the body functions.
My treatment approach is highly influenced by my movement experience. Together with intuitive listening touch I use a fusion of modalities to provide a unique treatment that responds to the persons needs at that moment in time within a Holistic approach.
Massage has enabled me to help a variety of people, from desk workers to performers, people with trauma and the elderly. I work closely with my clients to identify what brought them to my treatment room. What I aspire to when working with people is to help them restore physically, mentally and make them more in tune with their body.
Qualifying first in Holistic Massage Therapy at Bodyology School of massage. Since then I have studied Advanced Clinical Massage Training at Jing Massage School to provide treatments to effectively help relief of chronic pain. I continue to receive training regularly from inspirational teachers in the UK and outside to keep developing my practice.
Outside the treatment room, I am moving and engaging in various movement practices to learn more about the moving body.
