My name is River and I’m a clinical massage therapist and holistic bodyworker.

I’ve recently re-opened my practice after moving West to Kings Park, Glasgow.

I believe that supporting our hearts and minds begins with listening to our bodies. I offer effective remedial work for acute and chronic pain within a holistic container, to nourish your nervous system while we tend to sore spots. I work to target the roots of pain with a toolbox of clinical techniques including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, acupressure, orthopedic testing and assisted stretching.

My practice especially welcomes divergent bodies. I am trained to work with trauma and am interested in affirming, consent-led practice. Our time together is tailored to you, and I believe that you know your body better than anyone. Let’s work together to co-create a space for you to release, rest and reset. 

If you have any questions or would like to have a chat to see if we’re a good fit, get in touch via:

Testimonials

★★★★★

“River is an intuitive, talented and thorough body worker. I appreciated the care and time he took to explain the massage process, understand where my body was that day and then together we agreed an approach that would work for my needs. Throughout the massage River deftly found where tightness and tension lie in my body and had a really healing, firm yet sensitive touch. I left floating and relaxed. If you are neurodivergent like me, I really recommend River, I’ve never felt so at ease during a massage before!”

“I felt safe and heard and not judged. Throughout the massage, River asked for consent, to make sure I could be as comfortable as possible, which I really appreciated. After the massage, I felt so relaxed, calm and light, it was unreal. You can really tell that River loves what he does and that he has a deep appreciation for bodies in all forms, sizes and abilities”

“River is a gifted bodyworker. I felt so at ease and welcome in their home practice and more aligned and relaxed in my body and nervous system after my appt. His care and attentiveness, alongside a genuine commitment to consent led and trauma informed pratice, make for a really special experience”

“I felt cared for and heard. I am not an expert in having massage therapy treatments, but River took me through the process in a kind and relaxed way. The massage itself was wonderful and calming, especially after a tough day at work! I 100% recommend River and urge you to book in!!”

"Having tried several Massage Therapists, I was extremely impressed with River’s intuitive and thoughtful practice. As a female, massages can sometimes feel intimidating, but River made me feel completely at ease and explained the process perfectly. He continued to ask for consent throughout, and instinctively found the tension in my body. He had a great eye for detail, even asking if I was vegan before he used a beeswax based product. I couldn’t recommend River enough! "

River is an amazing communicator, which made me feel so able to ask for more pressure, for repeat motions etc. I had a fantastic experience and will be booking again asap, can’t recommend highly enough!

River is an incredibly talented therapist, who has a sixth sense for finding the sore bits and working them out. I highly recommend you book in if you are experiencing pain or tension. River made the whole experience feel so safe and relaxing and I felt I was in good hands the whole way through.

Heartily recommend. River is accommodating, delivers a great massage and puts great effort into making sure the session is collaborative and focused on your needs. There's also a clear focus on accessibility for all and a wide-ranging understanding of people's different needs, which is brilliant.
