Tanya Botting
Massage Therapist & APPI Pilates Teacher
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 and small group classes.
Treatments offered by Tanya are –
- Aromatherapy
- Pregnancy
- Hot Stones Massage
- Indian Head Massage
- Uplifting Facial Massage
- Oncology Massage

Massage FAQs
If you’re considering a massage but are not sure what to expect, here are some of the most common questions we get at The Health Hub in Haywards Heath.
- What type of massage should I choose?
-
If you’re looking to relax and de-stress, a general massage or aromatherapy massage is ideal. If you want more targeted work on muscle tension, deep tissue or sports massage may be more suitable.
If you’re unsure, we’ll guide you based on your symptoms and goals. - Do I need to be in pain to benefit from massage?
-
Not at all. Many people use massage proactively to manage stress, reduce tension and maintain overall wellbeing, not just when something hurts.
- What’s the difference between massage and sports massage?
-
Massage typically focuses on relaxation, stress relief and general muscle tension.
Sports massage uses deeper, more targeted techniques to address specific areas and improve muscle function.
You don’t need to play sport to benefit from either. - Can massage help with stress and anxiety?
-
Yes. Massage can help calm your nervous system, reduce stress hormones and promote relaxation, leaving you feeling more balanced and refreshed.
- How often should I have a massage?
-
This depends on your goals.
- Weekly or fortnightly for stress relief or ongoing tension
- Monthly for maintenance and general well-being
We’ll recommend what’s right for you after your first session.
