As I got older I would always make myself available to tend to my friends and familys various muscle aches. The more I worked the more I became aware that I had a talent for massage that most of my peers seemed to lack. So I decided to formalise my training and try to develop a career in massage. My first qualification was back in '93 at the tender age of 25. This course confirmed for me that I did indeed have an ability in this field and actually really wanted to become a full-time practitioner. I moved to Penrith in 1998 and soon after came accross another course that sounded very interesting just about to start in Kendal. I thought that more knowledge would always be beneficial so I signed up and studied hard. The course was excellent and taught me a great deal about Massage, Remedial Massage, Sports Therapy and about being a professional therapist. I stayed on at Kendal for a while longer and qualified in Reflexology and Indian Head Massage to further flesh out my knowledge base.
I was born and bred in London from German and Iranian parents where I got the earliest possible education in massage, sat behind my mother on the back of the sofa giving her massage as she watched television. I did this for years, probably til I was too big to sit on the back of the sofa, earning 1p a minute. As a child I mistakenly thought that if I worked an hour i'd get a pound until I was corrected that there were only 60 minutes in an hour.
