About The Grounding Space

The Grounding Space was created as a sanctuary from the noise of everyday life. Here, every treatment is designed to help you slow down, soften tension and come back to yourself. My approach is  attentive and personalised, so you leave feeling lighter, clearer and more grounded in your own body.

Meet Your Therapist

My name is Anna, and I'm a massage therapist with a background in both massage and psychology.

I've always been fascinated by the connection between the mind and body. Studying psychology gave me a deeper understanding of how stress, emotions, and everyday life can affect the way our bodies feel and hold tension.

Over the years, I've worked in healthcare, within a mental health setting, and in a prison environment, supporting people from all walks of life. More recently, my work has involved creating detailed presentation boards and sample displays for architects and designers—a hands-on role that has strengthened the precision, patience, and practical skills I bring to my massage treatments.

For a long time, I was searching for something that combined everything I enjoy and value: helping people, working with my hands, and making a positive difference to someone's day. Massage brought all of those things together. It allows me to combine my understanding of people with practical, therapeutic skills to help clients feel more comfortable, relaxed, and at ease in their bodies.

Every treatment is tailored to your individual needs, whether you're looking to ease muscular tension, recover from the physical demands of everyday life, or simply take some well-deserved time to unwind. My aim is to create a calm, welcoming experience where you can switch off, recharge, and leave feeling better than when you arrived.

I also believe that regular massage should be accessible rather than an occasional luxury. That's why I aim to keep my prices as affordable as possible, making it easier to look after your wellbeing throughout the year.

My qualifications:

  • Level 3 Diploma in Massage (ITEC) – Distinction

  • Level 3 Anatomy and Physiology (ITEC) – Distinction

  • Hot and Cold Stone Massage

  • Advanced and Deep Tissue Massage

  • BSc (Hons) Psychology (University of Greenwich)

  • MSc in Clinical Applications of Psychology (Kingston University)

What a session with me looks like

I believe that true relaxation comes when you feel safe, seen and unhurried. Before your treatment, I will ask you to fill in the consultation form so I can understand your needs, health background, and preferences. We then will have a short conversation to discuss how you are feeling, what feels most helpful for your body and mind today, and any areas to focus on or avoid.

 

I’ve worked in healthcare settings and have seen bodies in all shapes, sizes and stages of life. You never need to apologise for how you think your body looks or feels – my focus is simply on helping you feel more comfortable and at ease.

All sessions are fully insured for the peace of mind.
