Fresh out of the COVID-19 lockdown in July 2020 I was sat down with my uncle having a general conversation about potential career paths that I could follow. I've been around the gym environment from a young age, my dad opened a CrossFit gym in 2010 when I was 9 years old so I have always been interested in health and fitness.  He asked “what about massage therapy?” … that’s where the idea of being a massage therapist grew.

 

I started talking to some fellow members who had therapy businesses and that inspired me to pursue massage therapy as a career.  Being around the gym environment for so many years I understand how exercise can be quite taxing to the body and the thought of being able to help people through massage was my calling.  In December 2020 I completed the introductory massage course at the London School of Sports Massage and my journey began.  

​

I started at the London school of sports massage in a level 5 diploma where it was in an open university course for a year. I will admit, it was tough year, working full time in a coffee shop, trying to get all of the assignments and case studies completed and practical massage practice done at the same time. With time, perseverance and patience, I finally qualified as a BTEC level 5 soft tissue therapist.
