Stacy Pearson
I’m so excited to have Stacey on board at Bradford On Avon Massage. It’s such an honour to have a therapist of her calibre joining the team. I just know everyone is going to love her work as much as I do! She has a wealth of wisdom and experience to share with us all. She specialises in Shiatsu and reflexology, and also offers holistic massage and Aromatherapy.
Stacey is one of those women I want to be like when I grow up. Not only is she hugely talented in her work, she is also a strong independent mum to 3 wonderful children. She effortlessly juggles life, kids, & work with a calming, balanced energy. Her kindness and positivity is infectious and flows beautifully into her practice. She is authentic, intuitive and passionate.
“I studied and qualified in reflexology, holistic massage, aromatherapy, and Indian head massage at Bristol college, I then went on to further my knowledge and studied at the Bath school of shiatsu and yoga, where I qualified as a shiatsu practitioner. I’ve been practicing holistic therapies for 16 years and feel passionate about my work. I’m a working mother of three with a nurturing touch and have a deep connection with nature which helps me work holistically.”
Jo King.
Introducing Jo our newest therapist.
Specialising in restorative, balancing and energising therapies such as reiki, reflexology and mindful reflexology. I am honoured to work with clients and walk beside them on their healing journey, I love what I do, and each session brings something different for both client and myself, truly beautiful.
My personal healing journey started when I was recovering from a cycling accident and hip surgery but also juggling anxiety and depression. Seeking deeper healing than what was just offered on the conventional route, I realised that recovery was also linked to mental, energetic, emotional and my spiritual self, I began to self-heal through my reiki, energy healing journey and reflexology. Trained at level 3 reiki or master/teacher level. I'm currently training on the shamanic medicine wheel with Spirit of the Inca (until February 2023), which is assisting my healing journey and those I'm privileged to work with through my case studies.
Through my years of practice, I’ve been able to attune to releasing dense energy, trauma and past life traumas for clients which are stored in our energy fields and in turn can lead to dis-ease, discomfort and health conditions. Limiting self-belief systems and self-narratives learnt in childhood can also affect our energetic fields and cause dense energy build-ups and blockages in the body’s systems. Through reiki/energy healing sessions, the flow of energy can be restored and rebalanced throughout the energetic, emotional, mental and physical bodies. I also incorporate elemental/nature and crystal energies into my practices where guided to and have some lovely tools that clients can also use.
Training as a reflexologist, I wanted to acquire a deeper knowledge of the physical but also the mental and emotional connections in the body and its systems. Currently specialising in the Vagus nerve (Mindful) reflexology, which is a deeply relaxing and restorative treatment. Each of us lead busy lives at times and in this modern world we can often get stuck in the fight and flight (anxiety and stress) of everyday life situations. The Vagus nerve reflexology can help to calm the body’s organs and nervous system to a place of homeostasis, relaxation and balance, it's fantastic for getting you grounded and in touch with your body. Frequently our bodies can come under unnecessary duress, which means we can be in our heads and not asking our bodies what they need, stress and anxiety can affect our holistic mental, physical, emotional and energetic wellbeing. I’m grateful to be able to facilitate healing and support anyone that chooses to undertake their individual healing journey and a firm believer that our bodies are more than capable of self-healing through the healing practices.
Hannah
Hannah offers Tarot readings and Chrome therapy on Sundays at Bradford on Avon Massage. You can book in with Hannah directly via her website Ivory Moon Holistics.
My name is Hannah and for as long as I can remember I have always been fascinated by the universe, energies and the things we cannot explain. I believe in a greater power which we all can tune into and access to create the life and experiences we wish to see and feel!
I have always had a link to tarot. My Grandad had a deck (which I now own and cherish), and I was gifted some when I was 25, so I have always had an awareness, even if I didn’t fully understand it back then.
The calling for tarot came when I had a reading years ago with a phenomenal tarot reader who to this day, is still someone I consider very special. What I discovered was that tarot is not just ‘a deck’ of cards, it is a universal voice which picks up on what you are meant to know at that moment in time moving forwards and guidance – it is the perfect empowerment tool. I love seeing people access their potential, feel good about themselves and gain clarity and confidence in their direction.
This developed into reading about energy, case studies and becoming familiar with it by putting into practice other areas of energy work, such as completing my Reiki 1 and 2, working with the moon phases and chakra alignment and energy clearing. The results both personally and for others have been beautiful. I expanded into teaching meditation to others, and this predominantly works around the current moon cycle and the zodiac she is travelling through at that time.
I enjoy listening to philosophy lectures, reading books and being out in nature.

Fiona Curries.
Fi will be joining us soon to offer reflexology treatments.
Due to health reasons Fi isn’t quite ready to join us yet, at Bradford on Avon Massage. But we still see her as very much part of our family and her space is always waiting for her, on return to work. Trust me when I say this special lady is very much worth the wait!
“After returning from India in 1998, and after seeing reflexology work phenomenally on a friend with severe depression, I decided to train as a reflexologist.
I studied under Vic Downton at the Bristol Academy for the Healing Arts and qualified in 1999 , and have continued to practice ,on and off ,ever since.
It never fails to astound me at how effective this treatment is in healing the mind , body , and spirit in any age person whilst enabling the client to feel in total control.”
