Twelve years of listening with my hands
Intuitive holistic massage therapist. Helping to reawaken the connection of body, mind and soul.
The story
A lockdown leap of faith
When the world stopped in 2020, I decided not to. I used lockdown to study, deepen my practice and finally build the thing I had been circling for years: a therapy business of my own. KJL Holistics was born at my kitchen table in Kesgrave, one booking at a time.
The foundations went back much further. With over 12 years of hands-on experience in bodywork and wellbeing, I had learned that the best treatments are never the ones done by rote. They are the ones where the therapist actually listens: to what you say, and to what your body says afterwards.
Since September 2025 I have been the resident holistic therapist at Look Wright Aesthetics & Laser at Brightwell Barns, a clinic named Muddy Stilettos Best Beauty Salon/Clinic three years running. It is a room I love, in a team I am proud to be part of. And for those who would rather not travel, I still pack up the couch and come to you.
My treatment room is a judgement-free, confidential space. However you arrive, whatever you're carrying, you're welcome here exactly as you are.
Intuitive
No scripts, no set routines. Each treatment is shaped in the room, around the person on the couch.
Unhurried
Guided meditation, aromatherapy and sound weave through my work. Stillness first, then touch.
Honest
Relaxation and wellbeing, framed truthfully. I will never promise what a massage cannot deliver.
Beyond the couch
Sound, ritual and four lucky spaces
A few times a year I host Resonance Ritual events: intimate, candlelit sound sessions with Tibetan bowls and guided meditation, limited to a handful of spaces so each one stays personal. They tend to disappear quickly.
Spaces are announced on Instagram first, so if a slower, sound-led evening appeals, that is the place to watch.
