Find out about our mission and therapists.

Our Mission

To provide clients with a “whole experience” and an on-going professional advice service to enhance personal wellness, whatever your necessity or circumstance.

​

At Nourish it's more than 'just a massage' it's a "whole wellbeing approach" tailored to your unique and changing needs. A truly Holistic therapy is designed to 'nourish' the mind, body and senses. We aim to provide a getaway, complete stress relief and some well-needed me time and, in addition, help and advice on your overall wellbeing.

 

We can cater to each and every diverse need with a personal yet professional touch and we always consider your overall health and wellbeing both during and beyond your treatment with us. This enables us to see how we can not only help with any particular concerns but also to see how we can support you to look after your whole wellbeing.
 

A truly Holistic approach - for your mind, body and senses.

Sharon Stevens
About Me

I’ve been a Massage Therapist since leaving the corporate environment and deciding to undergo a complete career change.

Tired of the rat race and the high levels of stress it brought but wanting to continue to use my extensive experience in improving the health and wellbeing of people, Holistic Therapy held the answer.

​

I am truly passionate about helping others physically, mentally and emotionally, to achieve the right results for you as an individual.

​

​​Looking after others has always been part of my practice, philosophy, and my true passion and my experience in helping others with their health and wellbeing comes from a true emapthy, compassion and a genuine interest in you.

If you are ready for a positive, energetic, empathetic and exceptionally caring Massage Therapist, please don’t hesitate to reach out to find out how I can help you restore and revitalise and maintain your wellbeing.

​

I offer a fully holistic approach for all my clients and my treatments are a combination of both eastern and western methods

 

As an IPHM (International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine) accredited Holistic Therapist I am there to work with you, to alleviate symptoms and help you manage associated pain so that we can improve and maintain your wellbeing overall.

I also have a lot of experience in mental health support, having those all important conversations in an empathetic and totally non-judgemental way and helping people source the help they need and training others in this field.

​

I have worked on Mental health programmes, worked alongside occupational health teams advising on many aspects of mental health support in the workplace and spoken at many seminars and events regarding mental health in the workplace.

​

You will always be in a safe, confidential space in the treatment room and are supported with care, empathy and understanding.

About Me

​I left college in 2004 with a full Holistic therapy and Beauty therapy qualification. I then went on to do additional qualifications in Indian Head Massage, Reiki, Crystal Therapy and Herbalism. 
 

My love and passion for Holistic Therapy came from my mum and dad telling me that I had healing hands when I was four and they would ask me to take their headaches away. I was a bit of a hippy growing up and loved meditating in a field, walking with bare feet and collecting crystals, shells and stones. 
 

After leaving college I was offered an office job in an insurance company and since then I have mainly been stuck in the corporate world doing jobs that I have no passion for, feeling unappreciated and tired.

In December 2023 I made an intuitive decision to step away from that world and focus on what I need and what my family needed.
 

Sharon and I have been friends for over ten years and I greatly admire Sharon for creating a business that not only aids the healing of peoples bodies but also their minds. 
 

It seemed like fate stepped in that I wanted to go back to a job that I loved and what I felt I had been born to do and Sharon at the same time was looking to expand her business and open it up to providing her clients with more treatments. 
 

So here we are, I cant wait to meet new and existing clients and join Sharon in providing professional treatments that promote well being, stress relief and healing.

 

Finally, I am a full member of The Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) which gives you assurance of my qualifications and service I provide. This also means I am fully insured, as well as being recognised by most health insurance providers meaning you may be able to claim the cost of your treatment back.
