Ewa Jastrzebska
Craniosacral Therapist
-
Ewa is Craniosacral Therapist registered with the Craniosacral Therapy Association in the UK. She graduated from the College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy.
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle but potent way of working with the body using a light touch. It supports body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself as well as helping to reduce stress and build underlying energy.
The healing process is very profound and restores the balance across the mind-body system transforming it back to a state of optimal health. It removes layers of shock, stress, injury and deep seated trauma embedded in the system.
CST benefits the entire range of problems, from minor aches and pains to severe chronic conditions.
It’s effective in calming the nervous system, calming anxiety and offering relaxation to optimise the body’s own healing capacity, boosting health and immune system. The healing capabilities of CST are endless.
Craniosacral therapy facilitated Ewa’s own healing and she decided to train as a therapist to help others.
‘My favourite part of being Craniosacral therapist is seeing my patients relaxed and smiling after the treatment. It is a great privilege to be able to facilitate their healing journeys and witness their lives transform.’

Ewa is at Pause on Saturdays 9 - 5 pm and Mondays 4 - 9 pm

Indie Foolheea
Holistic Facials and Ayurvedic Therapies
-
Indie has had a rollercoaster of a career spanning over a decade but one thing has always remained the same - creativity and working with the hands. From a young age, making and creating has been a way of understanding the world within and around. This way of turning her hand to different things, saw her train as a jewellery designer, explore the fashion industry, beauty industry, tech world, social enterprise and sustainability.
Indie's path took a transformative turn when she started to delve inward, seeking support and a sense of belonging. She discovered that the ancestral practices she turned to felt diluted within the context of Western wellness. Motivated by her own experiences, she embarked on a deep study of Yoga, Ayurveda and holistic therapies, not only to nourish herself but also to extend that support to others.
She offers you the opportunity to reconnect with yourself and embrace the rhythms of nature, all while taking into account your unique life experiences. Through personalised treatments, she utilizes Ayurvedic therapies, which tap into the mind and energy through the body, tailoring them to your specific needs. Bespoke Holistic facials not only promote skin health but also offer a soothing experience for your entire being.

Roberta Kearsey
Holistic Massage, Lymphatic Drainage & C-Section Scar Massage
-
Roberta was travelling the world working in the fashion industry for the last 15 years, making people look good. But during the pandemic, she began to realise what she really wanted was to make people feel good.
She began to explore physical modalities that had the greatest therapeutic effects. It was then she discovered the power of holistic massage.
Roberta noticed that truly feeling good means spending time listening to your body, and an intuitive massage practitioner enables that connection to happen. After completing ITEC level 3 training as a Holistic Massage therapist and hundreds of hours working with bodies, injuries and techniques including prenatal massage, she began Ouro Wellbeing.
Creating an environment of calm to connect back to yourself, gives your body and mind the space to regenerate. Roberta works slow, with your breath to lull you into a parasympathetic state. Then depending on what you require she combines deep tissue massage and manipulation of the fascia to open up space in a contracted body. Aided by careful rhythmic touch to assist in deep relaxation.

Roberta is at Pause on
Wednesdays 1 - 8 pm,
Thursdays 4 - 8 pm

As a mother herself, Sam is passionate about supporting women with reflexology from pre-conception, pregnancy and beyond. This began when she experienced the benefits of reflexology herself throughout her pregnancies, finding it helped to balance hormones and reduce stress, supporting her body and mind for birth.
Sam’s personalised approach means that every session is tailored to you. Sam takes time to understand your individual needs through an initial consultation and then works with a gentle, yet therapeutic pressure on the reflexes of the feet, face or hands to encourage the body to return to a state of balance.
