“I decided to become a practitioner because I loved it when I was given the massage by a guy called Sureshkumar Maniyanpillai several times while I was there.

“I tried lots of Ayurvedic massages, but his was the best, so when I was on a yoga holiday with my friends I had the idea to try and train and then work with him afterwards to practise.

“I trained at Kerala Aruyvedic Health Centre with a guy called Sarun Sasidharan for 21 hours over the space of a week. Then, I went to the Ayuvedic Hospital in India, where Suresh works to practise with him on his patients.

“Both Sarun and Suresh are very supportive of me here in Belton, I get my oil and medication supplies from them.”

Ayurvedic Massage is intended to provide a relaxing and healing experience, and can only be carried out by trained therapists.

Sara, who also works as a registered nurse and yoga teacher, added: “This massage is quite specialist. I have lots of oils and medications and I can treat sports and stress injuries, along with health issues such as anxiety stress and depression.

“My aim is to create a sanctuary at my lovely country cottage for stressed out people to come and rejuvenate with yoga and massage.

“I have many clients already, who I fit in between work. I am flexible with providing evening and weekend treatments. So far, my clients all seem to be very happy with the experience and all intend to return. I would encourage people to try it.”
