Chris Carpenter - Massage Therapist

Chris is passionate about helping his clients experience less pain and more freedom in their bodies.

As a child, Chris felt a deep calling to the massage profession – he would often do rounds of the dinner table, giving shoulder massages when family had guests over.

As a practitioner, Chris has over a decade of practical massage experience. He has completed two formal qualifications in massage (Dip. Remedial & Relaxation, Dip. Shiatsu & Oriental Therapies) and trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Since 2018, after returning from several years of travel Chris has been actively pursuing further knowledge and training in order to take his practise to the next level. Tired of having clients return week after week presenting with the same chronic body issues, and realising that standard remedial massage techniques just weren’t cutting to the core of the problem, he sought to learn more. Fast forward several years and instead of just helping people feel good for a couple of days or weeks, Chris is now helping to unwind chronic body imbalances in order to help people to feel balance, ease and long term resilience in their bodies.

Personally, Chris is a father to a beautiful little girl and enjoys spending his free time with his family, gardening, getting out in nature, collecting spring water, and soaking up the natural beauty all around us.

 

 


 

What my clients have to say

"Chris has an amazing ability to find knots and once he finds them he is determined to do your body a favour. His massage is strong and intuitive. He really does inspire confidence. Add to that the fact that he is one of the loveliest human beings you will ever meet and you can't go wrong."

Greg Livingstone

"Chris knows how to feel your pain and release it! Very healing energy and I always feel like new afterwards! He has a gentle and calm personality. Very comfortable to relax around. I give him both thumbs up! Give him a try and you will know what I mean."

Lisa Kempson

"After years of rugby and a chef's life, my shoulders and back can cause me endless pain and discomfort. Chris offers a strong and healing massage. He certainly opened up the movement again. Thanks for the good vibrations bro! I dig your passion for your craft mate, it's what gives you your edge."

Duncan Isles

"Chris gives a very good, strong massage. He clearly knows what he is doing and hits all the right spots. Besides being a very good masseur, he is very interesting to talk to. I have used his services many times and feel relaxed and confident I will get what I need each time."

Alan Charles

"It is brilliant to find someone who loves their work and even after years of practice, still continues to learn and grow their technique. This guy will find that spot in a stiff neck or a tight calf muscle and will go after it! Hands down, best massage ever."

Adam Waldock

"Chris was very professional and made me feel really comfortable. He made sure to concentrate on areas with tension, so relieving. Another bonus is he seemed to enjoy his job, so left feeling positive. Would highly recommend and will be back! Thanks Chris :)"
