Olivia

Olivia is a chartered physiotherapist, lymphoedema practitioner, Hatha yoga teacher, and reflexologist. Her care is holistic and personalised: each treatment is shaped around the client's wishes, needs, and the state their body is in that day. Her aim is to empower people to move towards balance and wellness at their own pace.

She has been a qualified physiotherapist for over fifteen years, and specialises in cancer care with experience across all tumour groups. Her work supports people before, during, and after cancer treatment, holding the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual weight that a cancer diagnosis carries for the individual and those around them.

Her clinical skills include scar tissue massage, manual lymphatic drainage, fatigue and breathlessness management, restoring movement and function, strength and endurance training, post-surgical recovery, yoga and breathwork, and reflexology. Olivia holds her therapy sessions at Well Bath on Wednesdays.

What people who see Olivia notice first is the pace. She does not rush a body that has been rushed enough already. Her clinical assessment is thorough and evidence-led, and the treatment that follows is calibrated to what the body in the room can actually receive that day. Clients in cancer recovery often describe her sessions as the first time they have felt met as a whole person and not as a diagnosis.
