​
After leaving school I joined the British Army and during my time there I won the award for best at Physical Training. I have always enjoyed exercise and the benefits of physical fitness; both for taking part in sport and for maintaining functional activity. After leaving the military I then went on to play football for Southampton Ladies football club and retired from competitive football in 2010. I still spend a lot of time training– weightlifting, running and walking.
For the past 5 years I have worked for The Sports Massage Academy as a Tutor and Assessor teaching the Level 3 Diploma and Level 4 certificate in Sports Massage. I am passionate about teaching and enjoy sharing my experience and knowledge with our students. I also deliver specialist CPD courses in cupping and tools assisted massage.
I trained in sports massage because I have always had an interest in movement patterns and how activity and complimentary therapies can work together to help with rehabilitation from injury or dysfunction. In the past I have undergone surgery on my knees due to a sports injury and have experienced the benefit of massage therapy. Using a variety of techniques, my treatments focus on restoring optimal movement and reduce pain to promote long-term recovery.

"Great price, very knowledgeable"
After training for 13 weeks solid with no treatment my back and shoulders needed some serious work.
Daniella did a great job of assessing the issue and also pointed out my other issues without prompting.
Would definitely recommend.
Thanks again.
"On Par with the Best of the Best"
Over the years I've had massages all over the world, worked for an F1 team so got to see the best of the best in the swanky hotels we got to stay in...
Daniella is easily on par with any of those guys, took a lot of time on the initial assessment, understood my "case" and applied a systematic treatment regime to work through the layers of issues...
I'm now on a fortnightly "mot" programme keeping everything in check...
"Very Professional & Knowledgeable"
I was suffering for a week with terrible migraines. I initially had a phone conversation with Daniella (as we live 2hrs apart) and she advised me to rub a tennis ball over the tension parts on my neck. This helped a lot, migraines went to headaches. She then gave me a neck, shoulder and back massage to iron out the tension and knots causing the headaches. I have had a few sports massages in the past, this was simply the best. Very professional and she has a lot of knowledge on the anatomy.
