Alice Drake
Massage Therapist
Alice provides massage treatments that are person-centred and don’t rely on routines but rather provide individual therapies that can support your needs be they physical, mental or emotional. She uses Swedish massage, deep tissue and trigger point, lymphatic drainage and visceral massage techniques to bring comprehensive care for body and mind.
Her journey towards becoming a therapist began when she experienced its benefits first hand. After experiencing chronic health problems for many years, she found that massage was one of the few things that really helped. It brought her not only an improvement in her symptoms but also a deeper understanding of her condition and ability for self-care.
She has a great passion for her work and takes pleasure in being able to help others by equipping them with tools to improve their health and wellbeing. She has an in-depth knowledge of fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and hypermobility and has seen the benefits that massage can bring to many conditions where chronic stress, anxiety, inflammation and pain are present.
Alice has a Level 4 Holistic Massage with Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology qualification from the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork. She is fully insured and registered with the Massage Training Institute.
