Joanna worked in publishing for fifteen years before becoming a freelance graphic designer in 2000. This allowed her the opportunity to train as a massage therapist with the Oxford School of Massage, graduating in 2002.
She ran both businesses until finally becoming a full-time therapist in 2007.
Joanna is continually expanding her knowledge of and passion for massage through advanced post-graduate courses. She has trained with Jing Advanced Massage (Rachel Fairweather and Meghan Mari), the Myofascial Clinic UK (Anne Cruikshank), the Upledger Institute UK in CranioSacral Therapy (John Page, Susan Steiner, Hank Meldrum, Ken Koles) and is currently training with The Barral Institute in Visceral Manipulation (Peter Coppola). Joanna is also currently training with John F. Barnes in the US in Myofascial Release and worked with him in clinic for a week in October 2010. She has worked as a Consultant Therapist for RSI Clinics for a number of years.
She is registered and insured with Embody (the Complementary Therapists Association).
