Hi, I’m Uma

Uma is a bodywork and massage specialist, with a strong background in yogic and ayurvedic principles. Uma has worked in fitness, health and wellbeing for over 20 years. Starting her career in care work experience and nurse training, she embarked on a period of travel to Asia for several years, which inspired her further study in yoga and ayurveda. Uma has continued her study and expanded her practice to include myofascial release and body work, and utilises both to help others find joyful embodiment and wellbeing. She is now settled in South Devon and offers 1-1 treatments.

Uma has continued with an ongoing commitment to professional development and study within her bodywork and yoga modalities throughout her career due to her love of this work, and continued delight in the benefits it can bring to all.

“Seeing how the tension and stress is held in the body, it is always rewarding to see the transformation when all of the burdens are let go.”
