Ush is a full-time clinical and Āyurvedic massage therapist based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, with over a decade of experience.

Growing up in London, Ush was surrounded by Āyurvedic therapies and rituals from a very young age, with these practices forming a natural part of daily life from infancy.

Āyurveda, the oldest living system of medicine and healthcare in the world, offers over 40 types of massage, traditionally performed in the home, massage clinics, beauty salons/barbers, and Āyurvedic hospitals under the supervision of a doctor.

Ush’s style blends clinical assessment, Āyurvedic understanding, and the philosophy of the body and mind, with a strong focus on treating the body’s most important system: the lymphatic system. This approach underpins all types of massage offered, whether relaxation, remedial, or sports massage. Ush is also highly skilled and experienced in fascial, neural, and visceral work.

A true Taurus, Ush is known for being grounded, earthy, and often laughing. Outside of work, Ush enjoys cooking, spending time with their dog Louie, and camping by the water.

Ush looks forward to welcoming new clients.
