About Me

Hi, my name is David. I have a Level 3 ITEC qualification in Sports Massage, for which I studied at the highly respected Cotswold Academy. I am a member of the FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists).

I got into sports massage through a long journey with my own health and discovering ways to improve how my body functions. I began using sports massage to improve my own muscle function and moved into improving my flexibility and performance in rock climbing.

Besides my work as a sports massage therapist, I am also a fully qualified and BACP registered person-centered therapist offering talk therapy in Stroud and the 5 valleys. I like to bring these skills to my massage practice, offering sensitive attention and a safe environment in which to can feel bree to bring any issues to may have around touch, modesty or feelings of shame or embarrassment. If you have questions relating to religious modesty rules, discomfort with exposing certain areas of skin, self-harm scars/wounds or anything  roadly of this nature, please feel free to contact me. I am happy to work with clients who may want to adapt a treatment according to 'Tzinut' or 'Haya', including inviting a chaperone. 

I have a passion for working with people and helping them achieve their personal and performance goals and would love to hear from you in either of my practices.
