She is also a Level 3 Reiki practitioner, and a member of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and the Massage Training Institute (MTI).

​

Each session begins with a conversation, so that Caroline can tailor the treatment to your needs. Her massage can be light and gentle or firmer and deeper, and she draws on techniques including trigger point work, stretching and breathing to ease tension, relieve aches and help you relax. She will work with you to encourage healing and relaxation, to restore and balance you. A holistic massage provides a quiet time and space for you to relax away from your everyday activities and pressures. She also offers seated Indian head massage, Reiki, and a combined massage and Reiki treatment.

Maia discovered Pilates during a period of burnout from working long hours in a high-pressure job, where it became a powerful tool in restoring balance and calming the nervous system. She later returned to the practice after having children, using it to reconnect with her body, aid recovery and build strength.

Inspired by the impact Pilates had on her own life, Maia trained as a teacher to deepen her understanding of the human body and nervous system, and to share the practice with others. Her classes are calm and supportive with the hope that clients leave classes feeling taller, stronger and lighter in body and mind.

Maia will be holding classes on Thursday lunchtimes 12:00 - 12:45 & 13:00 - 13:45 - please email maiafry@yahoo.co.uk to book in.
