about us

At Calico Massage Therapy, all our therapists are experienced, fully insured, trained to leading international and national standards and are members of the Complementary Therapists Association. We always operate within industry standard codes of ethics and practice. We take our professional development seriously primarily because that is what keeps us growing as massage therapists and also because we are required to undertake training and skills development each year to maintain membership of our professional body. We've worked with a huge range of clients with physical and emotional issues over the years and pride ourselves on being responsive, empathic and most of all professional. We love what we do and hope that shines through all aspects of our work.

• Insurance by the Holistic Insurance Services
• Professional Body membership with the CTHA ( Complementary Therapists Association)
• Professional guidance from the GCMT (General Council for Soft Tissue Therapies)
• Training by ITEC (International Therapy Examination Council) and VTCT (National Vocational Training Trust) 

Calico Massage Therapy is owned and managed by Gillian Gray. She spent many years working in the NHS and Universities and had many massages to help her deal with the effects of a busy career and social life. After having treatments for back, neck and shoulder pain from years hunched over a computer, she decided that she wanted to help other people feel the freedom and benefits that massage therapy can bring and so retrained and launched Calico Massage Therapy. Calico has now been running for almost a decade now and her enjoyment of the work has not diminished a bit over that time.  She likes to balance her love of all things massage related with an equal passion for good music, good wine and good chocolate.
