I am Yuri — Level 3 Sports Massage Therapist.

 

My mission is to support your journey to optimal health and wellness by tailoring my approach to meet your specific need.

 

Most importantly — I am here to help you feel your best. 

​​​​

Growing up as an athlete; I always had strong interests in wellness and fitness. My athletic journey began at the age of 3 with gymnastics, leading me to compete in the All-Japan Junior Gymnastics Championship. Later, transitioned to Judo and eventually led me to achieve 2nd degree Black belt. Sadly, my athletic journey ended due to my knee injury earlier than I planned. Being involved in sports all my life, I have always been interested in finding ways to improve my body conditions and performance level. My sports therapist helped me so much during my athlete career, including sports massage sessions, helping me with faster recovery from trainings and from all the injuries I had and helping me keep going. 

​

My passion for health, fitness and wellness, combined with my passion for helping people and making people happy, encouraged me to pursue my Sports Massage Therapy. Now as a fully qualified Sports Massage Therapist, I am happy to be able to offer sports massage to help people live healthier and happier lives, feeling at your best.

 "Yawara" — 柔 in Japanese, means flexibility, softness, tenderness, and gentleness. It is also used to describe Judo. The name represents my passion for Judo and Gymnastics and my aim to help people maintain flexible body and muscle and help them live happier, healthier and pain-free lives.
