Lisa Goodwin

My background is in general nursing, I have worked in various NHS settings and became interested in touch therapy and graduated in Holistic massage with the  Massage Training Institute in August 2017.

I enjoy doing what I love: helping others who help themselves. My massage style has been described as a cross between deep tissue and Swedish massage; I aim to aid relaxation as well as therapeutic release of muscle tension.

Learning to relax fully releases powerful endorphins that continue to heal, well after a treatment has finished, counter-acting the very causes of tension. This is why I combine techniques to help induce a state of slumber whilst also manipulating out stored tensions. A good massage should leave you feeling freer in tight areas whilst also having ‘switched gear’ to a peaceful, more content state.

I believe that you know your body best so the individual is free to guide each treatment to suit their individual, requirements. Unlike some, I do not believe that massage should be painful: pain creates tension – which undermines the objective of massage.
