Iona Smith
Iona Smith recently qualified with distinction from the Massage Training Institute’s Level 4 Holistic Massage Diploma with Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, and now offers oil-based holistic massage with an emphasis on deep relaxation and restorative rest. She brings a calm and peaceful presence to the treatment room.
Iona retrained in massage after working for many years in social work and personal development, and has a strong grounding in empathy and compassionate care.
Her particular interest is in offering support for stress and burnout by creating a space where we can rebalance our nervous system and reconnect with ourselves.
