"Left feeling like a new person! The massage was incredible, all my tension has gone. The reflexology was particularly great, will definitely recommend to others"

What is different about Go with the Flow~Massage?
Go with the Flow was established in 2013. I am an independent massage therapist, doing what I love: helping others who help themselves. I don’t work in a busy salon as I prefer to take time to treat each person as an individual.
Qualifications
- Qualified practitioner of Swedish and Indian Head Massage (VTCT)
- Diploma in Reflexology (VTCT)
- Level 3 qualifications in Electrotherapy Beauty Facials
- Degree in Chinese Medicine at Westminster University with an influence in classical acupuncture (pre-Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM))
- Completing a Level 4 qualification in Advanced Skin Science and Aesthetic Practice
- Fully insured, a member of The Acupuncture Society and The Federation of Holistic therapists
My massage style has been described as being thorough - a cross between Deep Tissue and Swedish massage
However, everyone has their own style. My style has been informed by:
- The warming friction moves I learnt from Indian head massage: I find these invaluable in warming & loosening tight muscles, as well as breaking up tight fascia & dispersing lactic acid build up
- My degree in Chinese Medicine. The understanding that stagnation of qi leads to pain; the importance of dissipating this via surrounding and distal parts of the body. I also view the body in terms of the acupuncture meridians and acupressure points, working with them to both release blockages and strengthen vital flow
- Reflexology - the importance of the foot as the structural base of the body from which all connections are made; the point of contact with the ground itself and our relationship to it. Even treating just the feet can have a profound effect on the whole body
- The importance of natural muscle release - softening, melting - from a state of tension into its most relaxed, elongated, supple state. This is a goal to work towards. I learnt this from my yoga teachers.
- The relaxation state - utilising the power of body chemistry by tapping into to the parasympathetic nervous system. This long lasting change shifts the body from the state in which problems occurred, to the healing state where solutions naturally replace them. Ultimately the nervous system directs muscle tension or relaxation. This is why I want to work with the relaxation state as it’s already informing muscles to release.
- My own experience of injury, difficulties with rehabilitation and learning to think in terms of the whole, efficiently connected body rather than separate parts.
- I keep returning to the understanding that letting go brings progress more often than active effort does. Fluidity is needed for efficient movement.
I look forward to helping you achieve a wonderful sense of well-being.
