You deserve to feel comfortable in your own body again
Whether you're dealing with a nagging sports injury, chronic pain that won't shift, or tension from the demands of daily life — you don't have to just put up with it.
From my home clinic in Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire — easily accessible from Solihull, Stratford-upon-Avon, and the surrounding areas — I offer a calm, supportive space where I take the time to understand what's really going on. I'm also available at The Light Centre in Marylebone, central London, by arrangement.
I treat the person, not just the symptoms — tailoring every session to your individual needs for safe, effective, and lasting results.

Real Results That Speak for Themselves
Don't just take my word for it — here's what some of my clients have to say about their experience.
After many trips to specialists and having scans on my left knee and not being able to train my legs, I found Maria at Touch Physique. After a consultation Maria advised Bowen Therapy after only 3 sessions I began training my legs again although I made slow progress with Maria's help I am now back to my best.
Warwickshire — Bowen Therapy
I have had a busy 6 months with Triathlon and Cycling Events but the deep tissue massages provided by Maria have kept me in great condition. The routine is tailored to what I need whether that is injury, recovery or race preparation. Maria always seems to know what I need and I have benefited greatly from her expertise.
Sports Massage & Deep Tissue
After a severe car accident in 2011, I suffered from whiplash. I was in constant pain, on daily medication plus 2 physiotherapy sessions but still no end to my pain. Following my first treatment, I was amazed of how gentle and effective the treatment was. After my 3rd and final treatment the pain has subsided at least by 80%.
