Akira Wellbeing Studios is a holistic healthcare centre in central Hastings. Looking to serve our community as comprehensively as possible, we house multiple therapists, each with the shared goal of making effective mainstream & alternative health care accessible.
Through our multi-disciplinary approach, we aim to bridge the gaps between fields that are highly effective in their own right, giving you a complete plan to feel better on every level. In our specialist fields, we may view your body and symptoms in parts, but we’ll always connect it back to the bigger picture – you are a whole system of mind and body, which needs full attention. Our goal is to have you feeling better inside and out, through correct movement, nutrition, breathing and lifestyle habits.
Outside of our private therapeutic work, we run various classes, events and workshops in the community, all with the intention of bringing people together to share in something uplifting and restorative. We believe that uniting and sharing in positive, healthy practices is a great medicine for many of our modern ailments. Not only that, but it should be staple in our every day lives. This is what we hope to bring to our community, and is the driving force behind many of our projects here at Akira.
Specialist areas:
I set up the clinic mid-2021, originally providing a sports massage service to fighters at a martial arts gym. It was my own experience with complex injuries, which halted my training in the martial arts, that made me want to work closely with others in the same position
In my late teens, I underwent multiple surgeries to repair one knee and both hips. Unfortunately, my condition only worsened. For many years after, I obsessively worked with leading specialists across a range of fields in order to restore functionality to my own body, whilst learning the methods that I now use to treat the most complex movement problems in clinic.
It was during this time I experienced first hand the ways in which pain affects your entire life. I understand that living with pain is a daily commitment, and that no one knows what you're going through more than you do. This is why my process is built around deeply exploring your personal movement story and how you experience it, whilst zooming out to see the bigger picture that your body's movement patterns are trying to tell us.
After many years of focusing solely on the body, I finally made leaps and bounds in my own physical healing when I started receiving guidance in emotional / somatic and psychological healing. Experiencing first hand how powerful the sub-conscious mind is can manifesting pain or problems in various areas of your life, as a form of protection and guidance, was life changing for me, and formed the basis of our extremely powerful 'Self Enquiry Sessions'.
Massage practice
Trained in Sports Massage, but specialising in intuitive bodywork, my sessions are designed to bring deep levels of physical and mental comfort. I combine various kinds of touch, guided meditation and breathwork to help you reach deep states of relaxation. Every treatment is tailored to your needs and wants, so work with me to create the perfect space for your healing.
Clinical practice
My clinical practice focuses on assessing your posture, mobility and movement patterns. This, paired with your individual experience and injury history, gives us a map to find the root cause of your pain.
Coaching practice
As a coach and healer, I focus on guiding you home to yourself. Your mind, words and body are constantly communicating a story - often representing where you've been and how you got to where you are. In my coaching sessions, we take the time to let each part of your soul speak out, so we can hear what it is you really have to say - what you might be crying out for beneath the surface - so that you can step into alignment in places long forgotten. I will guide you and hold space for you to feel into your truth - the tears, the anger, the despair (but also the joy and laughter!) that have been waiting to be felt, so it can be processed, learnt from and transformed into something beautiful - a healthier and happier you.
It would be my pleasure to hear your story and help you in anyway that I can. Reach out using the enquiry form below or via email/ phone:
