About Me

​

​

Hi, my name is Laura (she/they) and I am a queer massage therapist and bodyworker based in Bristol, UK.
 

After graduating from a music degree in London I spent three years working in management and administration in the complementary health industry while completing my training, firstly in Thai Yoga Massage and then Holistic/Swedish massage. 

 

Working part-time as a massage therapist from home, I began to notice how much I valued working with clients from a diverse background, and how the complex relationship with the body can be so influenced by our identities, and the different issues and struggles that can arise in different groups.

 

I decided to begin to educate myself on the issues faced by different groups of people to create as inclusive a practice as possible. In 2020 I founded social enterprise Inclusive Wellness which aims to expand this beyond my own practice and increase access to health and wellbeing services for people from marginalised or disadvantaged backgrounds. 

 

I feel hugely privileged to do the work I find myself doing now, and I look forward to continuing to learn and develop as a therapist and practitioner.

​

My interests include plants, ethical living, feminism, music, non-fiction books, podcasts, swimming and being outdoors.

​

I look forward to meeting you!
