My Story

Hello, my name is Shaun. I live in a small village just outside Cleckheaton in West Yorkshire. I am a fully qualified and insured Holistic Massage Therapist and Energy worker. In the past 2-3 years I began a spiritual journey of self discovery that has taken me to Thailand several times, discovered the benefits of Lyengar Yoga and provoked something inside of me that's always been shouting out. I just never listened.

Humble Beginnings

My journey started many years ago when I received my first massage and I experienced the power of human touch. Human touch has a power to relax unlike no other. It is present from the moment we are born and held in our parent's arms. It's why we like to embrace each other, the shaking of hands or a pat on the back. Human touch in the form of massage allows the same sensation to be prolonged and it is soothing, relaxing, healing on a spiritual level.

Diagnosis

In 2008 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and paralysed down my right hand side. After two months of Neuro Physiotherapy and with the hospital's help I regained my ability to walk again. Since the diagnosis I have had several relapses but im thankful to say that in recent years it seems to have given me a break. I feel very fortunate, almost that I have been spared. Other people close to me with the same illness (or worse) have not been so lucky. This has inspired me to pass on healing to others.

Spiritual Awakening

I began to wonder what my saviour had been. I have never knowingly been a stressed individual. I was still pushing my own limits to their maximum and beyond. The one conclusion I came too that made sense was taking regular time out for me. I was having regular massages. My own personal self-care routine. Im sure people more qualified than I, could explain the science behind that conclusion. Regardless I didn't want to dwell on the why? I decided that at some point in my life I would learn the necessary skills to share the gift of Serenity and healing that have been shown to me by many different wonderful therapists all over the world.

Present day

Fast foward several years, a wonderful wife and daughter later and a my day job is now a full time Massage Therapist specialising in Somatic awareness, safety and embodiment. My work is far more rewarding and allows me to help people in a way that I am passionate to succeed.

The rest is the history my clients are helping me to write.
