My name is Jo, Clinic Owner and the mind, body and soul behind the Trayah name both in the UK and previously Australia.  

​

I am a DBS checked, fully qualified NHS Certified Decongestive Lymphoedema Therapist (DLT) specialising in, and with a passion for, full Lymphoedema and Lipoedema Management.  I am a current member of MLDuk (NHS, Surgeons and GPs refer to me), British Lymphology Society and Lymphoedema Support Network.  I am trained and supported by Lymphoedema Network Wales (NHS) through Swansea Bay Health Board University.  I am also proud to be a referral partner with Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven, Registered Charity No 1171155 and HCML.  

​

I specialise in Clinical Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage for those who have Lymphoedema, Lipoedema, have a chronic health condition/chronic pain and also for those who have recently had plastic/cosmetic or elective surgery.   This also includes scar massage utilising a range of techniques and tools.

I am also a Remedial & Sports Massage Therapist, so as well as assessing and treating a range of conditions, I am also able to improve range of motion, reduce pain and support the muscles for those with heavy limbs affected by oedema (fluid swelling) or those who have gone through surgery, including cancer treatment.    

​

I gained my Diploma in Remedial Massage in Australia having studied for 18 months full time, which included performing over 200 hours of actual assessed treatment hours in sports, remedial, deep tissue, stretches, myofascial and trigger point therapy.  I am also qualified to complete thorough assessments including range of motion, visual, postural and orthopaedic in order to address the source of the presenting problem, rather than the symptoms (where appropriate).   ​

​

​I am fully insured, licensed with Worcestershire Council, First Aid and CPR qualified and have OCD when it comes to the Clinic being exceptionally clean.  I am a member of FHT Association and am also on their register that has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.  The Accredited Registers quality mark gives extra peace of mind for anyone looking for a complementary healthcare therapist, letting them know that anyone who holds the mark is committed to high standards.  My qualifications are also accepted by private health insurers, should your policy cover massage.  

 
So, as part of my journey and chosen life path, I look forward to welcoming you to Trayah and supporting YOU on your journey to wellness.

​My name is Alison (Ali) and I’ve been a registered nurse for 35 years working in Birmingham and Solihull. I have a varied career - predominantly in cancer surgery within a variety of specialities - urology, colorectal, breast and plastics.  In recent years, I have been fascinated by the lymphatic system after having to kickstart my own.  My lymphatic journey continues - I'm currently undertaking further training with Lymphoedema Network Wales (NHS) at the University of Swansea to become an NHS Certified Decongestive Lymphatic Therapist (DLT).  I am also training in the Casley-Smith method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage.  I will be a member of FHT Association, MLDuk registered and hold advanced insurances.  I will be able to offer the same services as Jo with the exception of Remedial & Sports Massage and happily work to her high standards of care.

 

I am so excited to be part of the Trayah team and use my skills and experience with my local community here in Worcester. I will be full time shadowing Jo in April to further my experience, before taking on clients from May.  I can't wait to welcome and support you!
