Hi, and welcome to my website! I’m Hannah, a level 4 sports massage and soft tissue therapist, mum, dog-mum, and runner. I’m also qualified in hot and cold stone massage and pregnancy massage, and have additional training in muscle energy techniques. I’m a member of the Sports Therapy Association, and insured by Balens. I work from a garden treatment room at my home in Kenninghall, Norfolk.
I began my working life as a civil servant, and then moved into working for an international animal welfare charity. However, a career break after starting my family led me to reassess my priorities and I decided to retrain as a sports massage therapist. I trained to Level 4, expanding my skills each year with further hands-on qualifications. I love the feeling of helping my clients feel their best and perform at their best too.
I discovered a love of running after having children, and especially love to hit the trails around my local area! I’ve recently taken up canicross, and am a member of the Kings Forest Canicross Club, occasionally racing with my dog Monty. I also try to practice yoga regularly, cycle, and train for strength as often as I can fit in. It’s fair to say that after a lifetime of very much viewing myself as not ‘sporty’, I have found a new love of exercise and activity! I also understand how frustrating pain and injury can be when they stop you from doing what you love, and how draining it can be to be in pain. Sports massage is a huge part of keeping me on the road, so I’m really excited to be able to offer that same support to others. It’s truly the most rewarding job I have ever done.
My youngest clients are 10 years old and my oldest is 87. They range from athletes competing at the highest levels, to people wanting support for heavy physical jobs, and everything and everyone in between. I know that sports massage can seem intimidating to those of us who don’t think of ourselves as ‘sporty’, but the techniques that I use can be of benefit to anyone. As a therapist I am particularly passionate about bringing the benefits of sports massage to people who may not feel it's for them. You don't have to play a sport or even enjoy sport to get a sports massage. I strive to make my clinic as inclusive and welcoming as I possibly can.
I am also a certified scar therapy practitioner, working with clients to ease tightness, sensitivity, restricted movement and other common issues that can develop as scars mature. You can read more about scar therapy in my dedicated treatment section, which explains how sessions work and who they may help.
With that in mind, let me stress that all are welcome in my clinic. However, like many therapists, I am drawn to certain areas of practice. The following groups are those I work with most often:
As part of my professional development, I completed in-person training with Restore Scar Therapy, a leading educator in this field. You can view my practitioner listing here:
