About Isherwood Vitality… and a little about me!
Hi, I’m Alison: the creator of Isherwood Vitality, which is based in North London.
I am a qualified soft tissue and massage therapist and Zumba instructor! I’m aware it’s an interesting combination. I believe in the power of both relaxation and movement for recovery, energy and liveliness.
Recovery, energy and liveliness are the driving principles behind Isherwood Vitality. Your health and wellbeing is supported through targeted relaxation and movement, to help you enjoy life with its various physical, mental and social demands.
My aim is always to get you feeling better than before, with more vitality to approach each day.
If your balance, co-ordination or range of movement need some attention, then you might find great progress through my Zumba Gold classes. These classes focus on your balance, co-ordination and range of movement in a lower-impact class that is excellent for a broad spectrum of ages and fitness prowess. I love to get people boogieing their way to living livelier!
If your experiencing minor or chronic pain in your musculoskeletal system or feel stressed/anxious in a way that makes your body more tense, then you could find relief through massage therapy treatment. When I know your pain points and goals, we can work together to find a way to support you with soft tissue and massage therapy.
“Alison was great for helping me figure out and address the areas around my knee where muscle tightness was causing knee pain. It felt much more effective than just targeting my knee only!”
A little about me
My background is in movement. You name it, I’ve probably tried it. Hiking, yoga, dancing, weights, gym classes, figure-skating, field hockey, martial arts, aerial arts, calisthenics, sprint triathlons… I love moving! (Side note: I’m not a particularly good thrower.)
This is all to say that I understand the mental, physical and social demands of training, keeping active, and also recovering from injuries or setbacks. That understanding drives my focus for Isherwood Vitality.
I qualified with LSSM (London School of Soft Tissue Therapy), a member of ISRM (The Institute of Sport & Remedial Massage). I am a registered Zin Member with Zumba®.
