Daniela Coronado, Massage Therapist

I embarked on a new professional path after my first son's birth in 2013 – one of the most powerful and life-changing events of my life, followed by my daughter’s birth in 2018.

I decided to do a Holistic Massage Training Course, during which I realised how important the sense of touch is for human beings and the satisfaction that I feel in helping others through massage. I am qualified to a Level 4 Certificate from the Massage Training Institute (MTI) and I have done various CPD trainings that together with the experience gained in the last 6 years of practice have helped me to expand my knowledge

I am especially interested in helping others to become aware of their tension and enabling them to activate a relaxation response within their own bodies. I work intuitively and holistically using a range of techniques from Swedish and Holistic Massage such as working with stillness and breathwork, stretches, mobilisation, myofascial release and trigger points.

I am certified in Pregnancy Massage following attending the KnotStressed Therapies Pregnancy Massage Training course, which is accredited by the Federation of Antenatal Educators.I am also certified in Postnatal Massage with the Knotstressed Therapies Training course.

I am certified in Indian Head Massage with the ‘Me-time’ Therapies Training and in Stone Massage Therapy with ‘Rosslyn Alternatives’ Training.

My own powerful experiences with my two pregnancies and births and my passion for helping other women to prepare their birth journey led me to do a Birth Educator Training with the PPC (Pregnancy and Parents Centre) in 2017 through which I gained the knowledge and developed tools to support women during pregnancy and in preparation for motherhood. I have also done the Relax and Breathe Birthing Instructor Training and Relax & Sing Baby Massage and Yoga Instructor Training with KnotStressed Therapies. I really enjoy running weekly sessions with pregnant women and their partners, and new parents and babies.

My professional background is within the social work sector. I have worked in several countries within a range of sectors, including working with children, youngsters, people with mental health problems and adults with learning disabilities.

In my spare time, I love doing yoga, experiencing nature, hill walking, travelling, spending time with my family and reading books and research articles relating to my studies.
