About me
Background
My career in bodywork began over twenty years ago in the French Alps, where I started to explore injury prevention and rehabilitation through patient education and soft tissue manipulation whilst working with visiting sports men and women.
After the Alps, I returned to the UK and took on a position at a chiropractic clinic in Devon where I began to appreciate how the techniques I had been taught could be used to address more complicated patterns of pain and dysfunction, those seen with conditions such as scoliosis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.
Once the foundations of my remedial massage and sports therapy were established, I moved to London to join the reputable City Sports Massage team, where I learnt to integrate mindfulness and breath work into my clinical practice and refine my skills in bodywork.
In the six years that followed, I found the perfect balance between being elbow deep in bodywork as senior therapist at City Sports Massage and head high in academia whilst completing my Integrated Undergraduate Master’s in McTimoney Chiropractic.
To keep my fitness at its peak and find centre amidst both my growing practice and my studies, I began to explore the field of movement and to deepen my yoga practice; working with strength and mobility, body awareness and breath as a means to rehabilitate both the mind and body.
In seeing the healing benefits observed through my own personal practice, I began to introduce elements of movement therapy into my client sessions, the results of which spurred me on to pursue a career as a yoga teacher.
Now a Doctor of chiropractic and yoga teacher, I feel that I have found the holistic approach to healthcare that I was looking for, and I very much look forward to sharing this knowledge with you.

Fuschia was my masseuse and she was brilliant. She got to the core of the problem straight away and did in two sessions what would have taken months in physio.

Absolutley brilliant treatment from Fuchsia. Ive been through a lot of alternative massages to help me recover from my training but the quality and skills provided by Fuchsia were the best ive had by a long way. And shes also very friendly, which helps cope with the painful bit.

I visited the Marylebone clinic to get a treatment for a running injury on my knee sustained training for a half marathon-which meant I hobbled in and limped down the stairs. After an hour with Fuchsia I managed to walk out considerably more at ease
She was very professional gave targeted advice specific to my needs and was very thorough. I’m booked to go back again and hoping to get through the marathon in a few days with the help of these treatments
Was also quite easy to get an appointment and the different centres having the same therapist is great for continuity if you can’t get to the same place work depending.
Without Fuchsia’s expertise, there is no way I could have achieved my goal in the Pairs marathon. Each week Fuchsia would get my muscles back in shape and feeling fresh after a hard week of training and get me ready for the next week ahead. It is evident she has a passion for her job which extends beyond just looking after muscles and into a more holistic approach to looking after your body. She is also a good laugh and now that my hard training is over, I almost feel sad we don’t have out weekly catch-ups. I will definitely be back when I find my next challenge.
I wasn’t going to mention the pain I had been experiencing in my hip (hip jip) as I didn’t think that it was a muscular issue. However Fuchsia gave me a great insight into the world of deep tissue massage and the way the body works. She explained everything she was doing and responded to any feedback I had to give. This was a really positive experience. I’d recommend it to anyone who plays a lot of sport and finds themselves limping around at work the next day. It’s worth the money and Fuchsia is great!
