BCMB Massage Practitioner Clinic

Chris is a Teaching Assistant on the Holistic Diploma course.  Chris’ approach to massage is intuitive and considered. Using his knowledge of anatomy he will work together with you to plan a massage that will help you to feel relaxed, restored and ready to take on the world once again; massage is a dialogue between practitioner and client. He will then focus on areas of tension, using a wide range of techniques to enable the body to heal itself when needed. Chris offers a LGBTQ+ friendly practice and is really excited about being part of the BCMB family!

I am fascinated by the way the body works and tries to repair itself despite everything we throw at it. Sometimes it needs a bit of help and that’s where massage steps in. I have diplomas in Holistic Massage and Remedial and Sports Massage, I am a tutor on the BCMB Remedial and Sports Massage diploma, and continue to study to keep my skills up to date. I am currently investigating Fascial Release – there is always more to explore!

Over the years I have worked with a wide range of amazing people. I consider it a privilege to be able to be part of their journey as they cope with aches and pains, prepare for sporting events or just work to maintain their physical health.

Tim qualified with BCMB in 2001 and has practised in Bristol since. He widened his bodywork experience by qualifying in Sports & Remedial Massage in 2003, and brings his T’ai Chi practice to his work. Tim began assisting on the BCMB professional training course in 2004 and is now a course tutor and an Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology teacher. He is also a trainer, developing effective support services for people with learning difficulties.

Peter qualified with the BCMB in 2012 and comes from a background of social care, organic farming and artisan baking. Since finding his vocation as a massage therapist he feels inspired by the human body and its potential for adaptation, change, learning and growth.

Peter believes that being touched and cared for is essential for our well-being, which holds equally true for the skilled therapeutic use of touch. He is passionate about making massage accessible to a wider audience and is using the flexibility and outreach possibilities offered by chair massage to further this aim.

For the last 20 years Peter has been studying the art of Ki-Aikido, aimed at creating harmony between mind and body through relaxation and is working to integrate this experience into his therapy.
