About Me
MY STORY
My name is Berit and I'm from Denmark.
Ouch Away is my ‘dream come true’ of helping people to get relief of pain and aches.
I have always liked massaging, so it is out of pure passion that I have taken the education as a professional Remedial Massage Therapist.
I have suffered from lower back pain for many years myself, and as I received massages during my education, one of my peers relieved my pain for fours months by giving me a two hours treatment.
Now, I have obtained equally great results for many of my own clients, and that is what makes me absolutely love massaging. I am working 5 days per week for City Cave doing massages there, but you can now also have treatments in my home at Logan Reserve.
Come in and get amazing results from a massage in my home clinic.
ASSOCIATION
I am a member of the Association of Massage Therapists and adheres to all the policies and procedures as well as code of conduct it requires to be a member of the Association.
Services
I offer Remedial Massage, Relaxation Massage. and Hot Stone Massage. I have also undergone training in special headaches, trigger pointing, deep tissue massage, reflexology, chair massage, pregnancy massage and Thai massage.
Treatment STYLE
My treatment style in Remedial Massage is very results orientated but always from the perspective that the treatment should be pleasurable at the same time.
I use a lot of trigger pointing, deep tissue massage and give some relaxing Swedish massage after to make the muscles relax and only remember the last caring massage they were given.
For Relaxation Massage and Hot Stone Massage I’m using long calming and flowing strokes.
PET LOVES
When visiting my home clinic in Logan Reserve you might also be lucky enough to meet my very friendly dogs Dobby and Alfie who will most likely greet you when they hear you arrive. Normally, they will be kept away from my clients though.
