hi, I’m christie
I WANT TO HELP YOU RECLAIM YOUR TIME FOR RECOVERY AND REST
I understand how a busy mind, challenging emotions, and daily muscular tension can weigh heavily on you. In our fast-paced culture, it’s easy to neglect self-care, leading to suppressed emotions and physical symptoms like stress, tension, stiffness, and burnout.
That’s why I’m here—to help you find the time and space to pause, unwind, and reconnect with a sense of peace and calm. Whether through deep tissue massage to relieve stubborn tension or aromatherapy massage to soothe both body and mind, my goal is to support you in releasing stress and achieving a state of relaxation and well-being.
Your massage is not a luxury, but an essential form of self-care. It’s about giving yourself the permission to recharge and rejuvenate so that you can continue to thrive in the demanding world we live in. Let this time be a moment for you to let go of tensions and gently return to a place of peace, calm, and happiness.
HERE’S A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT ME…
Hello! I’m Christie, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing you’re in safe hands. I hold a Level 3 ITEC Diploma in Sports Massage and a Level 3 ITEC Diploma in Aromatherapy Massage, along with further qualifications in Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, and various other holistic practices. I’m currently studying for my Level 4 Sports Massage training at the Cotswold Academy here in Cirencester, where I’ve completed all of my massage qualifications and worked in the office for a period of time. Additionally, I’m fully insured and a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT), so you can feel confident in the professional, skilled care you’ll receive.
I grew up in Somerset, spent many years in Bristol, and now feel happily settled in South Cerney, Cirencester. I began massaging in September 2022 whilst working a full-time office job. For years, I dreamed of a career that allowed me to positively impact people’s well-being whilst creating a lifestyle of freedom, flexibility, and fulfilment for myself. With a background in the corporate sector in various coordinator-type roles, I always sensed those environments weren’t fully aligned with my values or with what I could truly offer to others. The fast-paced, goal-driven 9–5 work culture didn’t feel right, and at times I felt trapped, stuck, and deeply unfulfilled — not living in alignment with my soul’s purpose, my values, and what my body truly wanted for me.
Having previously struggled with my own mental and emotional health challenges for much of my life, I embarked on a deep self-exploration and self-discovery journey. This led me to follow trainings and personal development practices that truly lit me up — from counselling skills and mindset coaching to hypnotherapy, inner child healing, reiki, and studies in psychology and spiritual awareness. Ultimately, everything led me towards bodywork, where I feel most at ease, endlessly curious, and continually inspired — working one-to-one with people and enjoying every personal interaction, which I most enjoy.
Having gone on this journey, I was able to start making more empowered choices for myself and the direction of my life. As my self-esteem, experience, and confidence grew, I reduced my employed office role to part-time hours, and in December 2024 I finally took the leap to dedicate myself fully to my massage business. I’ve never felt more aligned with the work I’m doing and where I’m living. It’s a wonderful feeling, one that I feel grateful and privileged to experience every single day.
When I’m not massaging or evolving my knowledge on how I can best support my clients, I love spending time with friends, attending music events, and exploring new places. I enjoy being part of the group exercise classes at F360 Functional Fitness in Cirencester (where I also ran my massage business during 2024 and 2025), balancing this with yoga at my favourite studio, Retreat and Rewild. These community spaces are very dear to me.
I’m always exploring therapeutic practices that deepen my connection with and understanding of myself, supporting my mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth - whether through personal courses, books, podcasts, or deep introspection. This continually enhances my personal toolkit for finding more ease in myself and in life, which I can also bring to my clients holistically.
Most of all, I’m here to support you and be in service to you on your own well-being journey. It brings me true joy to help you release pain and tension, reduce stress, and feel your best through the massage and holistic health modalities I offer. I’m always learning, growing, and bringing fresh techniques into my work — so that every treatment feels truly supportive for you and always engaging and inspiring for me.
