About Tania McDonald
Australian by birth I studied and began practising the techniques of Massage and Reflexology in the late 1990’s when I first moved to the UK. With over 25 years of experience working as a therapist in London, I have a keen interest in natural ways of living, benefitting personally through out my life with positive results for various conditions including IBS and hay fever. I continue to learn and am currently studying Herbal Medicine for Women with Dr Aviva Romm. I draw upon my knowledge of nutrition, homeopathy, herbal medicine and Ayurveda to further assist clients in making positive lifestyle adjustments. I offer a warm, caring, space and look forward to supporting many women
Massage is a wonderful tool for relaxation, pain relief and calming the nervous system. Using a variety of hands-on techniques to manipulate soft tissue there is a long proven benefit to women’s circulation, lymph and skin health and stress relief. Additionally, there are mental and emotional benefits reported by recipients.
Reflexology is an ancient healing technique (also named Zone Therapy) that works by applying pressure (from light to firm) to specific points on the feet hands and head which correspond with internal organs and systems of the body. It promotes a deep state of relaxation, aiding circulation and calming the nervous system. This can help to reduce the symptoms of anxiety, digestive disorders, infertility, vertigo, symptoms associated with autoimmune conditions, menopause and additionally accelerating the body’s healing after surgery.

Please note: Massage therapy and Reflexology are not substitutes for traditional medical care and it is not possible to diagnose.
Special Note
Touch therapies can greatly benefit the well-being, awareness and body confidence of older girls and young women too. As girls begin to menstruate and experience hormonal changes it is an ideal time to begin good self-care practice, learning to form habits for a lifetime. Both massage and reflexology treatments are offered with a parent or guardian present for ages 12-16.
ADHD & ASD
Nurture also offers treatment and support for women diagnosed with ADHD and ASD who would like to consult a practitioner with understanding and empathy for those who are neurodivergent.
