ABOUT ME & THE THERAPEUTIC WORK
Hi, I’m Rusnė — a Bodywork Therapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. That’s the professional introduction. The real story is that I’ve always been fascinated by people: how we move, how we feel, how we heal, and how our bodies and minds constantly communicate with each other.
Before moving to the UK, I worked in Lithuania as a general practice nurse and later in hospital settings, gaining hands‑on experience in medical care, rehabilitation, and physiotherapy. Those years shaped the foundation of my work today. They gave me a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, and how illness, injury, and lifestyle choices affect the body. More importantly, they taught me to see the whole person — not just the symptoms.
Since 2013 I’ve been working in private massage practice, helping people reconnect with their bodies, ease pain, and find a sense of balance again. My approach is very person‑centred and always holistic. I’m not here to “fix” anyone; I’m here to work with you, to listen to your body’s story, and to support you in feeling more at home within yourself.
Preventative healthcare is at the heart of what I do. I focus on restoring and maintaining soft tissues, reducing pain, and helping your body function with more ease. But there’s also a gentler layer to the work — the therapeutic touch, the calming pace, the sense of safety and grounding that comes from being truly cared for. That’s just as important as the physical techniques.
When it comes to deep tissue or sports massage, I believe in cooperation, not force. Discomfort can be part of the process, but it should never feel punishing. I don’t subscribe to the “no pain, no gain” mindset. I prefer kindness, communication, and working together. Sometimes a gentle stretch of your comfort zone is exactly what helps the body shift and heal.
In 2023, I completed my BSc (Hons) in Integrative Counselling, which I now offer as a separate therapeutic pathway. This training deepened my understanding of the emotional landscapes we all carry — and how closely they intertwine with the body.
If you’re curious about your own body‑mind connection, or simply want to feel better in your skin, I would love to hear from you!
Life is an adventure — and we don’t have to limit ourselves.
