Hi! I am Staś (pronounced Stash, rhymes with ‘dash’) and I came to Cork in 2002. I’m British-born of Polish descent and grew up in London immersed in Polish tradition and culture. I speak both English and Polish natively, though admittedly my Polish could do with a bit more practice! I am a proud Irish citizen.

I combine massage and advanced manual therapy for effective pain care, rehabilitation and soft tissue health, benefitting a wide range of common injuries and pain conditions, whether longterm or more recent.

My affinity with bodywork comes naturally to me. I hold distinctions in Therapeutic and Advanced Massage from the Natural Healing Centre in Cork, I am a certified sports injury therapist and a qualified Neuromuscular Therapist (NMT). I was resident therapist at Cork’s Firkin Crane dance theatre for over 9 years. Continuing professional development keeps my skill and knowledge of bodywork current and has taken me to many fascinating seminars, workshops and courses such as Advanced Orthopaedic Massage, NeuroKinetic Therapy®, McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release®, Restore Scar Therapy and many more.

I have a strong interest in chronic pain, especially from trauma (emotional or physical), and the effects of scarring on the mobile body.

Whether your scar is 2 months old or over 20 years old, I may be able to help relieve pain or lasting irritation.
