Gerry Andrews

Advanced Massage Therapy; Helping You Make Positive Change Happen

I am Gerry Andrews, specialist massage therapist, Body-Mind Coach and Reiki practitioner.

I specialise in helping people understand the pain they are feeling so they can become free from pain, and more importantly, free to take control of their lives instead of being controlled by pain, anxiety or stress.

My Story

Embracing My History
with Wellness

Over the years, I have had to cope with setbacks, redundancy, changes in career, bouts of anxiety and depression, as well as supporting colleagues, friends and family through similar life upheavals. Having played badminton competitively for over 45 years, I know the pain of injury and the frustration and struggle to recover to full fitness.

I too have seen my fair share of doctors, physios, chiropractors, osteopaths, acupuncturists, and yes, massage therapists. I fully understand what it’s like to want to be pain free and active again.

My Approach

Restoring Balance in
Body and Mind

As a holistic therapist, I don’t just look to treat the symptoms. My aim is to work with the ‘whole’ person to relieve pain and restore balance. Massage and Reiki work to release tension, free old fixed patterns in the body, restore mobility and balance, soften the body’s defensive ‘armouring’ and reconnect with its natural energy. Body-mind coaching brings the body into the conversation; it helps you notice what you are ‘holding’ and shift old patterns of thinking that no longer serve you.

My Experience

My passion for massage is part of a family tradition inherited from my Burmese grandmother from the Shan mountain state of Burma.

Holistic massage is something I have grown up with and have benefitted from as an active sportsman for over 35 years.

I draw upon over 30 years of experience, knowledge and skills in managing change in an array of roles, as a senior town planner, customer relations manager, neighbourhood manager, community mediator, community development consultant, trainer, facilitator and coach.
