My name is Lucinda Morriss (formerly Mahoney) and I have specialised in integrative bodywork treatments since 2005.

My study of massage began in 1998 when I trained in Swedish Massage, anatomy and physiology. Since then I have explored a diverse range of bodywork techniques.

My treatments include Massage, Myofascial Release, Structural Integration and Craniosacral Therapy.

Between 2003 and 2012 I travelled regularly to Mysore, India to study Ashtanga Yoga www.kpjayi.org On my first trip to Mysore I studied with a local massage teacher where she learned the basic principles of the ancient Ayurvedic system of medicine and healing www.mumukshaindia.com.

It was also in 2003 that I met Mitchell Gold and was introduced to Structural Integration. Also known as Rolfing, this deep body therapy was created by Dr Ida Rolf to align and balance the body by working on the connective layer of fascia surrounding the muscles, bones and organs www.rolfguild.org.

I was inspired by the consideration of the body as a whole, by the use of movement, and the thorough and systematic approach to releasing tension patterns in the body.

I travelled to Boulder, Colorado in 2004 to begin studying at the Guild for Structural Integration. The first module of the SI training took part over 3 months of intensive study. I travelled to Kauai for the second intensive in 2005 and studied with Nilce Silvera and Emmett Hutchins. Emmett was one of Ida Rolf’s first students. His teaching gave an insight into a more metaphysical approach to Structural Integration, providing a connection to some of the principles of yoga.

In 2008 I completed the last month-long module of the SI training back in Boulder Colorado.

While in Boulder in 2008, I took part in a month-long Teacher Intensive with Richard Freeman at The yoga workshop www.yogaworkshop.com/rf-teaching. This training included Yoga Philosophy, Therapeutics of Yoga, Asana Practice, Sanskrit and Pranayama, Meditation and the biomechanics of Posture and Movement.

In 2009 my interest in fascia led me to attend a 5-day fascial workshop with Gill Hedley at St Thomas' hospital in London.

In July 2013 Lucinda studied Cranial-Sacral therapy at the CSST in London completing a 2-year diploma course.

Each year I continue to study and attend CPD courses, talks and workshops. The learning is endless and fascinating - it inspires me every day.
