About me
Hi, I'm Joseph, I help people feel more comfortable in their bodies and live peaceful lives. Through my 1:1 and group sessions, I am of service to my clients by supporting them through times of transition. I care deeply about the human experience, how we affect each other and the planet around us.
I started my health training in 2006 at the National Training Centre of Ireland, graduating with a qualification in Massage, Remedial, and Neuromuscular Therapy. After this, I headed to Aberdeen in Scotland, which shaped a lot of my career. I completed a two-year physiotherapy degree at the Robert Gordon University, graduating with a Higher Diploma in Health Profession Studies. I did further training in Sports First Aid, Dry Needling, Cupping and Advanced Soft Tissue and Injury Management.
While studying in Aberdeen, I founded the Aberdeen Sports Massage Clinic. I spent seven years here, building up a solid reputation with the sporting population of the shire. I worked with the Aberdeen Football Club and the University Sports Scholarship Athletes. In 2012, I was chosen to work at the London Olympics, supporting women’s football teams. I was a member of the Scottish Institute of Sports Massage Providers Network. I was invited to work with Team Scotland at their home games in 2014.
I said goodbye to Aberdeen in 20017 to spend some time travelling; This led to a new discovery of something else I love - teaching! While in Goa, India, I started lecturing in anatomy and physiology, as well as yoga therapy and clinical practice. It was then and there that my appreciation for yoga started to grow. I practised daily and really noticed the difference yoga had on my mind and body. I got to be a student too sometimes; I was taught the philosophy of yoga, all whilst enjoying teaching those who were on their own yoga paths.
My journey has taken me to many countries, continents, yoga studios, sweat lodges, and medicine ceremonies, to name a few things. I've been lucky to have spent time with great teachers and healers. I’ve experienced first-hand great therapy from great therapists. I've climbed snow-capped mountains and sailed across stormy seas, and like many of us, I have been in deep love and felt the pain of loss as well. This path has allowed me to see the past and the patterns for what they are. I’ve found a real sense of who I am and something valuable that I can bring to others due to my experiences. By looking at myself, adapting and growing, I can now provide support for others to do the same. Through health education and personal development techniques, I empower my clients to find balance in their daily living and live an embodied and present life.
