About Freedom of Movement
At Freedom of Movement: massage & bodywork, I believe your body is your foundation. But life, stress and tension can throw it off balance. Together, we restore ease, movement and calm. So you can enjoy life the way you want to.
About Me
Hi, I’m Vicki - massage therapist, movement lover and a bit of a body detective.
Freedom of Movement was born out of my own need to slow down and listen to my body. For years I pushed through life - busy, active, caring for everyone else - until I started to realise how much tension and stress I was holding. Massage, movement and time in nature helped me reconnect with myself. It taught me that our bodies are always communicating, we just need to learn how to listen.
What makes me different
That’s what I bring into my work now. I love exploring what’s underneath tension - not just easing tight muscles, but helping people understand why it’s there and how to create lasting change. I also know that healing isn’t something we “do” to someone or a "quick-fix". It’s a shared process, a bit of a dance between therapist and client, body and mind.
The body already knows how to find balance; sometimes it just needs a little support, space and safety to get there.
How I Work
My treatments blend the structure and problem-solving of sports and deep tissue massage with the gentle, restorative work of the vagus nerve massage.
Every session starts with a conversation, we discuss what you need today. From there, I tailor the techniques to what your body needs most that day: it might be releasing tight muscles, calming the nervous system, or helping you find more freedom in how you move and feel.
My values
My approach is rooted in curiosity, freedom and care. I'm curious about how each person's body tells its own story. I value freedom - the ability to move, live and feel without being held back by pain or stress. And I care deeply about creating a space where people feel safe, supported and seen.
Whether it’s through deeper massage work or vagus nerve sessions that calm the nervous system, my aim is to help you feel more balanced, more free, and more yourself - so you can enjoy life the way you want to.
