Hello everyone! If you are lucky enough to be running The London Marathon this year come and say hello when you pick your numbers at The TCS London Marathon Show where I will be providing pre run sports massage!

If I don’t see you this week I wish you luck – don’t forget to enjoy your day and listen to your body! I still have a few slots available for some post run massages week commencing the 28th; I can visit you at home or hotel in and around East London E14 and E16 ( Gallions Reach, Beckton, Canary Wharf, Docklands, Wapping) and may be able to fit in some Essex visits for my old clients in that area. Drop me an email at info@massagebymichelle.co.uk or give me a call on 07932 652653 to book.

Price update: As of May 1st my outcall prices will be increasing to the following.

London outcalls (travel costs apply outside of E14 and E16 postcodes)
30 minutes: £35 > £45
45 minutes: £50 >£55

Happy New Year!

Yes, what better way to start your day while recovering from New Years Eve shenanigans than have me drop into your inbox.

New Year is often when we start afresh and set goals for ourselves – considering our physical and mental health is usual something that we reflect on at the start of the year and make plans for positive improvements.

I’ve had my own journey over the last few years – after a number of traumatic events in 2023 my focus in 2024 was on recovery and it was May 2024 that I finally started to experience a big improvement in my mental health which then enabled me to start focusing on my physical health.

Clarifying what I needed to do for my own well being and define some goals has really helped; I started to lose weight, got back to Olympic Weightlifting – something I really used to love, and did a 60KM walk for the domestic abuse charity Refuge. Next year I am planning on taking on some new challenges including hiking around the UK and pole dancing (yes, really – it keeps you amazingly fit!).

Goal setting is often a foundation of any personal trainer or therapists plan for clients and it can certainly help to map out what to aim for and how to assess progress, but sometimes we need to be a bit fluid and give ourselves some flexibility otherwise we can feel like we have failed if we don’t reach a particular milestone. So if you are making plans and setting some challenges for 2025 be mindful of how unpredictable life can be. Don’t beat yourself up guys if things don’t go quite to plan – you can always pay me to do that for you!

Looking forward I have some exciting new business ideas for 2025 so keep your eyes peeled for updates! I’m currently still available in both London (E16) and Hythe & Folkestone, Kent, for mobile rehabilitation and mobility exercise sessions and massages and have an offer for a free 15 minute face massage (not a facial) for anyone who books a massage until the end of January*.

I look forward to seeing you all in 2025!

Hi Guys,

Just a heads up that September is becoming very booked up and I have limited availability left so advise booking in advance for any mobile massage or home based exercise sessions.

I have also taken on an additional role with PureGym in Folkestone as a personal trainer so if you prefer to train in a gym rather than home based I’m here for you!

See you soon!

New services on offer!

Hello everyone,

There will be a few changes to the services I offer over the next few months! As well as offering massage I am also starting to do more of my movement and mobility exercise sessions either 1-1 or via Zoom. I originally qualified as an aerobics instructor a million years ago and over the years have gained quite a few fitness qualifications – Exercise Referral, Personal Trainer, Gym Instructor, Older Adults, Chair Based Exercise Instructor as well as my Fitness and Health BSc degree.

Since qualifying as a Sports Massage Therapist seven years ago my focus has been on massage but recently I have taken on some clients for exercise and realise how much I miss it! I specialise in the over 50s and seniors, improving mobility, movement and strength and have had some great results!

I’m still offering massages, but if this is something that interests you please drop me a message and we can get a free consultation booked in. The website will be changing slightly so may look a bit rubbish while being updated!

Just a heads up on my availability for the rest of this week -I have some afternoon availability in Hythe on the 18th, 19th and 20th and some slots available at Gallions Reach on Sunday the 21st. If you would like to visit me at Gallions Reach please let me know by Friday evening at the latest.

Enjoy the hot weather!

Michelle
