I am a qualified Sports Massage and Remedial Therapist, Pregnancy Massage Therapist and a Myofascial Release Practitioner, Dip. I first trained as a fitness instructor in 2012 and started "abusing" the gym therefore sustaining a good amount of injuries that proved quite difficult to "fix" at the time.
Having done some research, I came across a therapist that successfully rehabilitated me and also introduced me to to North London School of Sports Massage. This is very I began my journey to become the therapist and the person I am today, so Thank You Berry!

Just seen Anca for the first time and was very pleased with my session. She is very friendly and certainly knows her stuff. The session was very relaxed and there was no pressure to return, unlike some. I will definitely be going back, as money allows, always the problem. I would highly recommend her I feel better physically and mentally - how did she do that?
Great masseuse!

Great professional service performed by a very knowledgeable therapist!
Great professional service performed by a very knowledgeable therapist. I've been to many sports massage and physiotherapists within the past few years and Anca is one of the best I've had the pleasure of meeting. She provides you with an excellent quality service, whilst being very welcoming and understanding of your needs. She also gives in depth explanations as to why she does what she does and what exercises you can do to help yourself between appointments, including putting together a personal exercise plan with video

I didn't want a fluffy, gentle massage - and I didn't get one! Anca found and worked on knots and tightened muscles all down my back. All the tension was sorted. Brilliant. I'd been able to book online and after the treatment some exercise suggestions were e-mailed to me. Extremely reasonable price and excellent service. I'd definitely go back!

I have suffered with back and shoulder pain for years, I have a massage every now and then but nothing has compared to Anca. She is nothing short of a miracle worker! She is also very friendly and welcoming. I felt relaxed straight away. Lots of knowledge, very strong and completely at ease with what she is doing.
