Olivia is an experienced and intuitive therapist known for her holistic, calming approach, seamlessly blending relaxation with a deep understanding of anatomy and sports massage techniques. With a background in sport and remedial massage, she supports a wide range of clients — from athletes to everyday individuals — helping them move more efficiently, reduce tension, and perform at their physical best in day-to-day life. Her passion for the human body and ongoing learning has led her to study Osteopathy, enriching her treatments with greater insight into both acute and chronic injuries. Most recently, Olivia has expanded her expertise into lymphatic and blood circulation therapy. She believes massage is not only a physical treatment but a powerful therapeutic tool for emotional balance and mental well-being — a form of “body meditation” that helps release stored stress and restore equilibrium.
