Welcome to Sonja Allen Massage Therapies
If you are looking to age well by maintaining a good range of motion and reducing stiffness, tension, aches and pains, poor sleep, and stress-related menopausal symptoms, or if you would like to improve your sports and muscle performance, prevent injuries or simply relax and enjoy increased well-being, you have come to the right place. As a qualified Massage Therapist, I take every care to listen to your needs and provide you with an effective and professional service.
A little about me
Helping ordinary people has always been what I enjoyed most in my professional life - from working in customer services in the finance industry resolving queries and complaints to being a freelance translator providing valuable information for people in their own language. However, when AI changed the industry I worked in in a way that it no longer aligned with what I was passionate about, and witnessing more and more people around me with reduced mobility and those little aches and pains that impacted their quality of life, I wanted to be able to help, and so I retrained as a Swedish Body Massage and Sports Massage Therapist. As I am an active runner and hill walker in my early sixties, love fitness classes to music and have a keen interest in everything health, healthy ageing and fitness related, this seemed to be the perfect move for me and I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you feel your best.
My
Qualifications and Standards
I only use high-quality massage oils, creams and lotions to ensure an optimal and effective experience. I hold a VTCT Level 3 qualification in Swedish Body Massage and Sports Massage (awaiting certification for the latter) as well as a Certificate in Indian Head Massage from York College, and I’m a full member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT). This means I uphold the highest standards of practice, engage in continuous professional development and follow a strict professional code of conduct—so you can relax knowing you're in safe, expert hands.
