Sports massage isn’t just for athletes; individuals with physically demanding lifestyles or desk-bound work routines can greatly benefit from its restorative effects.

Body Alignment

Alignment therapy combines breathwork, gentle techniques, and body awareness to release restrictions within the fascia (connective tissue).

This therapy assesses movement patterns, identifying areas where your body may compensate due to past physical or emotional trauma. Gentle strokes and guided breathing create a safe space for your brain to release these stored memories.

Vera is honestly the best. And her assistant Millie (her doggie) make the sessions even better. Vera knows what she’s doing, take time in answering questions and make you feel comfortable. I would 100% recommend Vera

No pain no gain, you are in very capable hand when it comes to Vera "fixing" you. She explains every step to you and just do the stretches she recommends and you're on the road to amazing recovery.

Vera made me feel comfortable from the moment I met her. She is very knowledgeable and takes such good care to understand your body before she starts the treatment. She offers very specialized services which encourage complete well-being. I'm very glad to have found Mindful Healing. 😊

Vera from Mindful Healing is amazing! One session with Vera is quite honestly worth 3 sessions with a physio, and I've been to many physios. I don't think there is an ache or pain that Vera can't fix. She can find knots and niggles in muscles you didn't even know you had! But besides being super professional, knowledgeable, and good at what she does, she is also a really great person. She cares about all of you, not just the ache or pain you've come to see her about. Highly recommended!

Vera is able to alleviate 6 weeks worth of tension and pain, in one 60 minute session. She is so knowledgeable and readily offers advice and rehab recommendations. Vera is definitely my go-to for all sport related injuries.

I will highly recommend Vera's sport massage. She sorted out my tired, over worked muscles, and identified & treated the problem areas. Vera delivers a very professional service. She gives good information and recommendations about (the state of 😁) my body, and the way forward with my training. Thank you Vera, see you soon again! 😀

I suffered a blowout C4 Disc that compressed my spinal cord which caused my neck and shoulders to be affected with pain and stiffness. Vera has been of huge help in reducing the pain and cause mobility to return to my neck and back. I am very pleased and csn highly recommend her.

I can’t recommend Vera’s sports massage service enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in her practice. She was able to easily identify the trouble spots in my muscles and worked on them effectively. She has also provided me with valuable insights on how to loosen up problem areas at home, which has been extremely helpful in managing tension between sessions. I have visited many massage therapists in the past, and Vera’s expertise and commitment to her clients truly stand out. If you’re in need of sports massage therapy, I would definitely recommend her services. You won’t be disappointed!

Daar is nie woorde om te beskryf hoe amazing Vera is nie! Sy weet presies wat sy doen en hoe om te help. Ek is al ‘n jaar by haar en sy help met als. Sy is ‘n gekwalifiseerde “Lyno Therapist, Sports massage Therapist, Body Alignment Therapist en Reiki Master/Teacher Practitioner. Sy laat jou baie gemaklik voel en is baie professioneel. Sy het een aand laat my gehelp toe my rug in spasma gegaan het a.g.v klein kindertjies wat ek moet ronddra. 🫣😅🥰 Sy is amazing en ek sal enige iemand na haar toe verwys. Sy gee regtig om.

I broke my back last year and was petrified for anyone to touch it. I eventually ended up with Vera, and all I can say is WOW, you have made me realise how long I have been walking around with a “frozen back”. Vera, thank you so much, even after just one session with you my back feels absolutely amazing. I can’t wait for my follow up appointment. This will definitely be something I will be adding to my healing process for a long time to come. THANK YOU VERA 😊

I would like to thank Mindful Healing. Lovely studio, and what a treat. We don't realize what physical strain we can actually put on our bodies. After my session i can definitely feel a massive difference. Thanks vera
