Michelle Esberg
Acupuncturist | Reiki & Shiatsu Practitioner
About Michelle
Michelle’s journey into holistic healing began with a strong foundation in conventional medicine. She initially trained as a general nurse, later specialising in mental health nursing. Over time, her path evolved as she developed a deeper interest in the mind-body connection and a more spiritual, holistic approach to health and wellbeing.
Her passion for the Eastern Healing Arts began with the practice of Tai Chi and meditation—disciplines that inspired her to explore further. This exploration led her to Shiatsu, which she qualified in in 1999, and then Traditional Chinese Acupuncture, in which she qualified in 2005. Since then, Michelle has continued to expand her healing toolkit, offering a gentle and intuitive blend of acupuncture, shiatsu, and reiki.
Michelle’s approach is compassionate, calm, and deeply attuned to the individual needs of each client. She creates a safe and nurturing space where healing can unfold naturally—whether the focus is physical, emotional, or energetic.
When she’s not in clinic, Michelle enjoys peaceful walks by the countryside/sea, playing tennis, and expressing herself through poetry.

Roj Smith
Holistic Massage
About Roj
Roj is a Level 3 Holistic Massage Therapist, accredited by the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT).
“What I love most about massage is helping people find balance and a sense of deep, restorative calm. In every treatment, I bring care, focus, and presence, creating a welcoming space where you can truly relax and reconnect with yourself — leaving you feeling restored, recharged, and ready to keep doing the things you love”
Living an active lifestyle, I’ve experienced sports injuries and the pressures of everyday stress first-hand. Over time, massage became more than just a way to unwind; it became an essential reset for my body, energy, and nervous system. Massage is now my way of offering that same support to others. Whether you’re looking to ease tension, support your nervous system, or simply take some time out from a busy life, a massage with me is an invitation to restore your calm and recharge your movement.
