About Tiina Sivori

Hello - and thank you for visiting this website !

I am a Scandinavian therapist with 30 years massage experience. My first introduction and training in classical (Swedish) massage was in Finland in 1980 - 1982, as a part of cosmetologist training.

Later on, travels took me to Norway where I lived for over 20 years. Here, I worked within staging before taking up higher education. After completing a postgraduate degree in Physical Geography, Hydrology, I worked as a hydrologist. Throughout the different career paths, I continued my massage practice and further learning.

During years of aikido, yoga and qi gong practice, my interest for massage gained new depth, with increasing focus and emphasis on energy work and body awareness.

Cutting a long story short...

After the birth of my second child and moving to UK I finally took the plunge to make massage and energy work a full time occupation. This resulted in Detox & Relax Massage Therapies.

The most important thing, apart from the quality of touch is the rapport between client and therapist, built on understanding and trust. My promise to my clients is :

To always focus on and carefully listen to you.

Never give a hurried or impersonal treatment.

To do the best I can.

Just as each person is unique, so is each treatment bespoke and customized for you.

Thanks for your interest !

Kindly,
Tiina
