Meet the Team - Natalie 14th November 2022
Hi everyone! I am Natalie Brown (ACMT), and I joined the team here at Stoke Chiro in October.
I am a professional massage therapist with a passion for patients in chronic pain using soft tissue and bodywork. I hold a Level 5 in Advanced Clinical Massage Therapy as well as a Level 4 in Sports Massage Therapy. I am continuing my studies to obtain a BTEC Level 6 in Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage Therapy. I have a particular interest in patients with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, and look forward to delving deeper into this field.
I’m from South Africa originally and have been living in the UK for 15 years. I have a BA Hons in Dramatic Arts and worked in theatres across South Africa as a stage manager for plays, dance productions and performing arts festivals, and then as sound operator for musical theatre productions. While I thoroughly love the theatre and enjoyed every minute, I have always wanted to be a massage therapist. When my second child started pre school I decided to just do it!
I love to bake, especially with my two beautiful girls. I only eat chocolate cake or carrot cake (not too fussed about anything that doesn’t contain chocolate!!!) My favourite food is Nachos with real cheese, delicious freshly chopped tomato salsa with loads of chilli and coriander and fresh guacamole.
Outside of work I love to go the theatre, a good gym class and spending time with my children doing all the things that bring them joy. I also love Tai Chi and juggling: I really do juggle - balls and clubs - although I haven’t had loads of time to practice over the last few years. Once, I actually joined the circus in South Africa! I didn’t do any shows, but I loved going to circus school!
I look forward to meeting you at the centre!
