About Me
My name is Mathilde Barbier. I arrived in London in 1994 where I worked for over 5 years in the IT department of a large oil
company. In 1999 it was time for a change and I decided to leave the corporate world for a new career.
After a year of study of Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology as well as practical Massage I obtained my
first Diploma in March 2000 (MTI). Since qualifying I became eager to learn more about different massage
techniques and applications and undertook various postgraduate courses.
My passion centres around the magic of pregnancy and giving life and how as a Massage Therapist I can
support the parents-to-be on a physical and emotional level at all stages of pregnancy and after birth.
Shortly after my son was born in 2002, I started giving him massages, and to this date he is a very
healthy, relaxed and contented little boy.
In June 2006 I qualified as a Massage in Schools Instructor with the
Massage in Schools Association. This
programme is a fun, quick and effective tool to improve children’s quality of life at school, enabling them to interact
differently through regular peer to peer massage. My goal is to actively contribute to the vision of the Massage in
Schools Programme and to introduce it in my local schools.
I aim to continually improve my skills and keeping up to date with new techniques, expand my qualifications
and knowledge in Alternative Therapies.
I share with parents the essence and benefits of baby massage and offer a complete massage service to my
clients in the comfort of their own home in West and South West London (contact me to find out if I cover
your area).
