About the team
Specialises in sports & remedial sessions.
A treatment with Anna will include assessment, massage and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders from sports or non-sports injuries which include aftercare advice.
“My aim is to relieve tightness and pain restoring better movement throughout the whole body. I do this with soft tissue release along with stretching and realigning the muscles and fascia. I assess posture and breathing patterns as very often soft tissue injury’s can arise from incorrect posture or poor breathing patterns, I will give you stretches and exercises to improve upon this.”
When I am not busy being a mum I like to practice yoga, pilates, and body conditioning. I am very interested in nutrition, I spend lots of my time in the kitchen chopping and slicing, listening to Radio 4 or Ted Talks doing my best to improve my well-being.
Naomi Pickles
Highly proficient in sports remedial and holistic sessions.
Naomi’s enthusiasm for anatomy combined with her passion for science and movement has led her to the massage world. Every single treatment is guided by the theory of anatomy and bio-mechanics, drawing upon a variety of advanced soft tissue, myofascial and stretching techniques. She often works in collaboration with physiotherapists to provide ongoing support for physical wellbeing and recovery from injury. Treatments include a consultation and posture assessment to gain a better understanding of the person and their needs.
Since qualifying Naomi has fully absorbed herself in the wellbeing, spa industry; giving the opportunity to integrate clinical theory with holistic practise, emotional wellbeing and ultimate relaxation. As a keen circus enthusiast, rock climber and level 1 box fit instructor; massage and aftercare has played an important part of her self-practice.
Naomi is always looking for ways to integrate the latest sports science theory into her own training and improve functional movement for extreme sports but also enjoys sharing good food with friends, treatments herself, attending courses and skill shares. Connecting to people and forming a community is at the heart of all her work.
