Hello love.

I’m Darren and I work with people and their bodies in Manchester & London, UK.

I’ve been a practitioner for coming on 12 years. Phew.

Taking its root with reverance from the thai style, my work is tactile, immersive, creative and always developing. As a practitioner, I’m really concerned with quality of touch, graded force, movement, dance and rhythm. Beyond the form itself, I’m interested in connection. For example, how do we help others settle into receiving touch so that it lands in the most therapeutic way.

To the practice space, I bring a lot of firsthand understanding of the transformative power of bodywork - how the right touch can bring relief, restore balance and help us lead lives that are more embodied, free and open.

While my practice is inclusive, I’ve been particularly honoured to provide care for men and queer people, many of whom struggle to find massage and touch that meets them with the right understanding and skill. Women too are very welcome in my practice.

I try to work collaboratively with you to find the right touch for you - ensuring you leave my treatment room with lasting and meaningful impact. I work especially well with people who struggle with chronic tension, stress and pain. With people who struggle to connect with their bodies or are in a cycle of burnout and overwhelm.

I also teach my work and also hold the occasional workshop for the gays to connect.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me running, enjoying good eats, art, live music, science fiction, and the occasional bit of revelry with my loved ones.

My main practice space is at my beautiful home studio in Manchester (M20). I also practice in London (EC2M) a few times a month.

Hope to see you in any of those spaces soon. Come roll and flow with me.

Darren <3
