Ellie trained at the North London School of Sports Massage (NLSSM), where she gained a strong clinical foundation in advanced soft tissue techniques and injury management, qualifying with a Level 5 Diploma in Soft Tissue and Remedial Massage Therapy. She has worked with a wide range of clients, from office workers to elite athletes, including Ealing Trailfinders Rugby Club, the Scottish National Rugby Team in preparation for the Six Nations, and event work at the London Marathon. These experiences have reinforced the importance of precision, performance, and recovery, and have further refined her clinical reasoning and hands-on skills.
Ellie has a long-standing passion for understanding how the body works – its structure, function, and remarkable ability to adapt and heal. This curiosity underpins her approach as a sports massage therapist. Alongside her love of Pilates, she brings a movement-informed perspective to treatment, focusing on improving alignment, creating length, reducing restriction, and restoring optimal function. Her work integrates evidence-based techniques including Muscle Energy Techniques, Soft Tissue Release, and Trigger Point Therapy.
Ellie’s approach goes beyond symptom relief. She is committed to identifying and addressing the root cause of dysfunction, whether that’s a postural imbalance, compensatory movement pattern, or underlying restriction. By taking the time to assess the bigger picture, she ensures treatments are not only effective but long-lasting. She works collaboratively with clients, creating tailored treatment plans and supporting them throughout their fitness and recovery journey.
While Ellie has clear treatment goals, she also values the benefits of full-body treatments for relaxation and muscle rejuvenation, recognising their positive impact on overall wellbeing. Her philosophy is simple: when you move better, you feel better – and everything improves. With a focused yet reassuring approach, Ellie helps clients feel at ease, confident that the areas needing attention are being addressed, so they can leave feeling restored and rebalanced.
Outside the treatment room, Ellie enjoys running, Pilates, grabbing a coffee and mooching around London.
