Ended up doing massage after my brain basically broke from this horrible finance job lol. Now I help stressed-out Londoners chill out at Deluxe… way better than spreadsheets!!

So yeah, never planned on touching people for a living ha! Was stuck in this bank job for like… 7 or 8 years? God the hours were MENTAL. My boss was this nightmare guy who’d email at 3am and expect replies?? Ugh. My friend Jen dragged me to this massage place when I was having these random panic attacks at work. Thought it was a waste of money tbh but then… wow. Remember walking out of that first session and actually noticing birds singing?? Weird the things that stick with you. Kept booking sessions even though they were pricy as hell on my lunch breaks… sometimes would just sit in my car after and cry a bit from relief.

One day just thought – wait, could I be on the other side of this table? Took a weekend intro course and was hooked immediately. The Swedish techniques formed my foundation, but I’ve really focused on developing relaxation protocols that help the mind switch off as much as the body. London life is so demanding – most of my clients at Deluxe Massage are dealing with some kind of stress overload.
