ABOUT ME

Welcome to North Essex Massage Therapies, I'm Lauren, and I'm a level 4 trained Sports Massage Therapist, 200hr Yoga Teacher and Level 2 Reiki practitioner. 

I have a BA PGCE QTS in Sport & Physical Education; having previously lived aboard in Taiwan, Shanghai & Germany where I worked as a Physical Education Teacher. 

​

Prior to this I had been an elite Judo athlete for Great Britain. This is where i first discovered my passion for understanding the body and functional movement.

​

During the Lockdown of 2020 I decided to undertake a 9 month, part time in person Sports Massage qualification with the Norwich School of Beauty. I see massage as a way to help people heal in their physical bodies as well as connect with people empathically. In 2022 I completed my level 2 Reiki course as I believe that as a therapist you have the power of intention heal through touch and that can have dramatic effects, physically and emotionally on my clients. 

​

I continually study NVC (Non Violent Communication) with Carolyn Davis as I believe heart-based connection, where communication is open and the client is listened to, 

is key to being an effective body worker.
