Meet Eleanor, Licensed Massage Therapist in London – Professional, Compassionate, Holistic
Licensed Deep Tissue and Holistic Massage Therapist
Eleanor trained at the prestigious Jing Institute of Advanced Massage Training, known for its evidence-based approach to advanced clinical massage and bodywork.
In addition to her massage qualifications, she brings years of experience as an occupational therapist, giving her a unique insight into both the physical and emotional dimensions of healing.
Her practice is informed by an understanding of the body as a whole system—one where muscle pain, stress, postural imbalance, and trauma are often deeply connected.
Her goal is to help each client move toward lasting change, not just temporary relief. At the heart of her approach is deep listening, compassionate care, and intuitive touch. No two treatments are the same—each session is tailored to what you need, whether that's injury recovery, stress relief, or a reset for your nervous system.
Anne Jove, New Cross Gate, London
I cannot recommend Eleanor enough! I came in with chronic right hip soreness and overall stiffness on my entire right side from years of work-related strain. Her background as an occupational therapist truly sets her apart-- she knew exactly how to approach my problem areas with the right amount of pressure and technique.
After just one deep tissue session, I've been able to walk so much more comfortably, and I'm actually pain-free for the first time in a long while. My mobility has noticeably improved, and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my body.
This was hands down one of the best massages I've ever had. If you're looking for someone who really understands the body and delivers lasting results, Eleanor is the one!

Felt like a new person after Ellie’s massage! Highly recommend
Rosemary Darling, Waterloo, London
I booked a deep tissue massage with Eleanor after weeks of nagging shoulder and upper back pain from sitting at my work desk all day—and I’m so glad I did. She took the time to really understand where the tension was coming from and worked with the perfect amount of pressure to release those stubborn knots.
What I loved most was how intentional and knowledgeable she was—she explained what she was doing and made sure I was always comfortable. By the end of the session, my shoulders felt lighter, my posture improved, and I could actually move without that constant tightness.
It wasn’t just a massage, it felt like true relief and care for my body.
I left feeling completely renewed and slept better than I have in weeks. If you have pain from sitting at a desk all day, you NEED this massage. Highly recommend Eleanor!
