About Elizabeth

I was always drawn to massage and am constantly amazed by the power and simplicity of touch.

In our embodiment lie our power, intuition and joy. Engaging in somatic work requires faith and courage - it is work that takes time and a willingness to enter the mystery, but it is a pathway to healing available to all. You have everything you need right here, within you. 

I am also a yoga teacher and coordinator with a mental health charity where I train and supervise volunteers on an emotional support helpline. What connects all my work is a commitment to listening deeply and following what is present. I work in a person-centred way and truly care about your experience. 

It is a joy and honour to be trusted with people’s bodies. 

I love a lot of things including dancing, meditating, growing things, and connecting with people, poetry and nature.

How I work:

I work holistically using a range of massage techniques and can also guide you with your breath and visualisations.

Collaboration and listening to the body are at the heart of how I work. I put a focus on communication and hope to facilitate a space where you feel able to share your preferences, needs and wishes so that you can get the most out of your massage.

I do work deeply and with an anatomical focus, but at all times I prioritise using a ‘listening touch’ that is responsive to your tissues and state. We will collaborate on this together.

I hope massage will leave you feeling more embodied, nurtured and relaxed.

Who I work with:

I work with people of all genders and welcome queer people to my practice. A lot of my work centres on working with women and people with wombs. 

People are drawn to massage for many reasons. I have many clients looking for an experience that goes a bit deeper than the physical.

People have come to me with insomnia, chronic fatigue, anxiety, dissociation, pelvic and menstrual issues, sciatica, headaches etc. 

You may be looking for support through life transitions, bereavement, pregnancy, relationship changes, and/or looking to (re)connect with your body wisdom and vitality.

  • Elizabeth is incredible. She can sense exactly what you need from a massage and is so intuitive with her practice. Today she cured my migraine! And in the past she brought up some emotions I didn't even know I had. Absolute magic. Thanks so much for everything Elizabeth!

  • Elizabeth is magic! I struggle with endometriosis and fibroids, which means I am in extreme pain or discomfort for at least half of every month. It impacts my mood and energy levels. Since having regular massages with Elizabeth, who listens to how my symptoms have impacted me, and focuses on problem areas- my pain has been significantly better! She has also helped me understand my body better, and the womb massage not only relieves my pain, but also releases endorphins which leave me feeling happy and energized. This is inexplicably impactful, since no medication or treatment has helped me this way!

  • It's been such a long time since my massage with you but ever since I have wanted to pass on quite how incredible the whole experience was. I felt so much shift internally in the days following it. I would love to book in again with you in the coming weeks...

  • I’ve been living with chronic neck and shoulder pain for several months now and I have felt that Elizabeth’s gentle and targeted holistic massage therapy has already helped to ease the pain after just one appointment. Before, during, and after my massage I felt so listened to and held by Elizabeth. It was such a beautiful experience.

  • I had a wonderful massage with Elizabeth. Her approach is intuitive, caring and responsive, and she created a space that felt very safe, checking in with my comfort and experience at just the right moments. I left feeling calm and balanced, and can’t wait to come again. I’d recommend her to anyone.
