Hi, I'm Mandy, the therapist behind Activate Massage.
I'm a VTCT Level 4 Sports Massage Therapist, offering a wide range of treatments from sports and targeted massage through to Swedish, relaxing and therapeutic massage.
For me, no two massages should be exactly the same. I take the time to listen, find out what's bothering you and what you want from your treatment, then tailor your massage to suit you.
You don't have to be sporty to have a sports massage, and you don't have to be in pain to book a massage either. You might want help with tight, tired muscles, support with recovery, or simply an hour to switch off.
Whatever brings you through my door, you'll receive a friendly, professional treatment in a comfortable, welcoming space.
