Tina has been a sports massage therapist and biomechanics coach for 12 years. She is a Personal Trainer (PT) who specialised in phase 4 cardiac rehabilitation for 10 years in association with the BACR. Tina’s motivation to do sports massage in 2007 was to help sporty, active children, (young cricketers at the time,) as Tina felt they needed care, guidance, tips and tools to be able to help look after their young, growing bodies to give them the best chance of reaching their full potential.

Tina loves people and helping them to just feel better, less stressed and with positive outcomes. The human body is an incredible but complicated machine. It fascinates her and she is therefore constantly learning, she loves it!

Note from Tina: “I may be rather vertically challenged but do not let my size fool you! They don’t call me the ‘pocket rocket’ for nothing…”

Dani qualified in 2017 having trained at the London School of Sports Massage and is also a qualified Personal Trainer, so she knows a thing or two about the human body.

Sport has always played a huge part in Katie’s life. Having experienced the benefits of treatment herself throughout many years of playing sport, she understands how important it can be in helping people feel their best and continue doing the things they love. She finds it particularly rewarding to now be able to give something back and support others on their own health and wellbeing journeys.

Outside of work, Katie loves spending time with her family and her dog. She is happiest outdoors, whatever the weather.

Tanya is an experienced massage therapist with clients across Sussex.  Specialisms include aromatherapy massage, deep tissue, head & facial massage, hot stones, pregnancy and oncology massage.  Treatments are tailored to the individual patient.

‘I enjoy treating people from all walks of life.  It is rewarding when new people experience the benefits of massage for the first time and see what a big difference it can make to their fitness and wellbeing. It’s good to see that more people are investing in their own health and I have been treating a lot of my patients now for several years’.

With a keen interest in the science behind massage, it has been established that treatments are proven to boost the immune system, improve circulation, keep muscles and joints flexible and aid recovery.  Overall massage provides a myriad of physical and mental health benefits.

Having previously taught fitness classes to adults and children, in 2020 when lockdown hit Tanya turned to Pilates to keep fit at home and loved it!  Taking advice from her physio colleagues she decided to train to teach with APPI (the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute) as this method would provide a clinical form of Pilates which would be beneficial for many patients.

Paramount in her decision to train was the proven results which Tanya saw for herself.  Having sustained a prolapsed cervical disc which left her with muscle weakness and spasms if she over trained, practising Pilates made a huge difference and demonstrated what excellent results can be achieved.

The APPI Method has taken the original 34 Joseph Pilates exercises and adapted them so they are suitable for patients working at a wide variety of levels, from people who are new to exercise to those who are accomplished athletes.  Pilates builds strength, stability, flexibility and a strong core that will help prevent back pain.  Everyday tasks become easier and it is an exercise form that can be practised at any age.  Tanya has also completed Pilates for Healthy Bones training as she has a special interest in Osteoporosis, how Pilates can help prevent it and how patients with lower bone density can still exercise safely.

Tanya offers 1:1 Pilates sessions.

Treatments offered by Tanya are –

• Aromatherapy
• Pregnancy
• Hot Stones Massage
• Indian Head Massage
• Uplifting Facial Massage
• Oncology Massage
