Meet Lenna

Thank you for taking the time to explore my little haven of wellness. I hope you are as passionate about health and wellbeing as I have been for over 2 decades. 

​

My passion for all things spa, health and wellness related began in my early teens while I was learning martial arts. At the end of each class, our teacher would line all the students up behind one another and give the person in front a quick shoulder massage to loosen the muscles as part of the warm down. We learned that I had an intuitive touch for finding muscle tension and our teacher showed me a few techniques to help my classmates. From there I decided that I wanted to learn massage professionally. Around the same time, I was also fortunate enough to visit a schoolfriend who had returned back to Japan. I flew out to Japan and stayed with her family for 2 weeks. Her family treated us to an unforgettable luxurious stay at a 5* Japanese Onsen hot spring resort. I knew from then that I wanted to delve deeper into the world of wellness.  

​

I graduated in 2010 with a bachelor of science degree in International Spa Management from the University of Derby. My career has been an envious one, working with brands such as Hyatt, Rosewood and, most memorably, Six Senses Resorts, Hotels and Spas. From working as a therapist to managing spas and then becoming Corporate Spa Trainer for Six Senses; travelling the world, setting up spas and training teams to offer luxury spa experiences and treatments. Working with so many passionate souls wanting to create a bit of rest and relaxation for guests and clients was a true privilege but as those who travel for work will know, it can be tough living out of a suitcase 90% of the year. 

​

I made the decision to leave my corporate role and focus on my own health and wellbeing and continue on my path of education. Since graduating from university, I have learned at least one therapy per year and my thirst for knowledge knows no bounds. Having so much training allows me to create truly bespoke treatments. I firmly believe that everything in the body is connected and, unfortunately, with the pressures of modern day life, we put our bodies through an incredible amount of stress and expect it to be able to keep up with us and look great at all times. The stress will ultimately show itself, whether it be in the form of pain/tension on the body and/or in the face as fine lines/wrinkles/dull skin/breakouts/etc. My aim in all my treatments is to work with the body in a holistic manner to create the conditions for optimum circulation and cellular regeneration (by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system); this goes for both face and body treatments and in an ideal world both. 

​

Techniques that may be incorporated into treatments include:
