About Katoka Massage Therapy
How We Started
Hi I'm Isabelle le Goaëc, the owner of Katoka Massage Therapy. After 12 years of 10-15 hour days in the financial industry, organising events and financial roadshows, I decided it was high time to leave behind this high pressure, stress-inducing environment and retrain in my childhood passion: massage therapy. From the get-go, my unwavering purpose has been to help people who, like me in my previous career, are working in a sedentary office environment and don't seem to find the time to :
-
Address their aches and pains or
-
Mentally switch off due to a busy schedule.
Specialising in Acupressure Chair Massage enables me and my team to make a difference in people's lives. Making people feel better in minutes is my drive !
