Hello, my name is Claire and I have been a Massage Therapist since 2015. I initially trained with Richdale’s Institute at Hammersmith Hospital and began my career at Neals Yard Therapy Rooms, before joining the luxury cruise liner Holland & America as a Spa Therapist. Engaging with a wide range of clientele onboard gave me experience in treating various conditions such as Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and Multiple Sclerosis. My passion for Massage Therapy increased as I saw how my treatments provided relief for people experiencing all kinds of physical and emotional stress, and helping people felt like something I was born to do. After my time on the ships, I gained employment with Facegym and underwent further training working with facial anatomy at a deeper level. I was amazed at how many people held tension around the jaw. I began educating myself further on the TMJ (temporal-mandibular joint) and facial tension, before training with TMJ Massage Therapies to work specifically with the jaw and learn how to apply myofascial release to the jaw, using intra-oral techniques to release fascial restrictions and muscle tension inside of the mouth.

I set up Massage on the Mind in 2021, and now specialise in easing symptoms associated with TMJ Dysfunction, jaw and orofacial pain. 

As my knowledge and understanding of the human body has deepened, I work intuitively and am interested in how our health is affected by our emotions which become stored in the body. After experiencing Alopecia, I engaged further with holistic practices and sought counselling which I found to be a therapeutic and healing experience.  I wished to help others with the same kindness and compassion offered to me. Having an understanding of the relationship between the body and emotions, it felt natural for me to progress into talking therapies. In 2025 I qualified as an integrative Psychotherapist and now see individuals in-person and online with a special interest in stress-related TMJ Dysfunction and Disorders. 

I don’t really consider my work as a job, it is a passion which aligns with my values and provides meaning to myself and others. I always enjoy learning new things and allow myself to be led in the directions which call me. I believe it is important to remain curious and open to alternative ways of thinking.
