Hi, I’m Ashleigh,
I am a fully qualified Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist, with over 10 years experience in the field. Having previously managed a clinic, I have worked with a broad range of clients, and feel I have a true ability to make clients feel at ease whilst tailoring the treatment exactly to what they need.
As well as Sports Massage, Deep Tissue (Remedial and Relaxation) Massage and Swedish Massage I trained in Kinesiology taping, levels 1 and 2 so I can provide clients with sports injury or support/postural taping.
I am also trained in Seated Acupressure, Aromatherapy, Indian Head Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Pregnancy Massage, Dry Cupping Therapy and Natural Lift & Sculpt Facials. I am always looking to study new courses and develop my knowledge - I want to ensure I can provide the best treatments possible to my clients.
I have a passion for wellbeing and have previously worked in gyms, and have worked with Aberdeen Football Club providing Sports massage for the players (back when I lived up there!). Having now retired from football (having played since I was 6!) due to an injury, I am very empathetic and have a real understanding on how an injury can impact you, as well as the importance of pre-habilitation and strength training.
I enjoy football, cycling, hiking, Pilates, spending time with my two sausage dogs or working in the gym on my own strength and wellbeing.
I am also a fully qualified Reformer Pilates Instructor currently working at Hone in Edinburgh and offering 1-1 sessions at Edinburgh Voice Care (the studio I work at on a Monday). I absolutely love Pilates and wish I’d started it from a younger age myself! I am doing my pre and post natal training at the moment so will be able to take 1-1 and classes for these soon.
I created The Body Space simply as I wanted to to create a space for everyone. Whether it be a space to recover from a sports injury or trauma, a space to relax from a busy hectic schedule, or to reset from perhaps stress, fatigue or feelings of overwhelm. I always encourage a good work/life balance and will always advocate for self care above all else.
