Founder – Advanced Myofascial Release Therapy & Scar Specialist | Fascia Rehab Educator & Movement Practitioner
Zoe’s Ethos:
“Every body holds an innate self healing ability and the potential for freedom and recovery. My role is to help unlock that potential – whether you’re overcoming pain, healing after surgery or injury, or striving to feel and perform at your physical and mental best”
I’m an experienced Myofascial Release Therapy and Scar Practitioner working with both adults and children, and the founder of Feel Better Bristol. I provide gentle, but effective soft tissue treatment for pain, scar tissue, rehabilitation and overall movement wellbeing. My background in anatomy, fascia science and therapeutic movement allows me to support a wide range of clients – from those recovering after surgery to individuals living with long-term symptoms, to competitive athletes looking to maintain resilience and performance.
I support anyone dealing with pain or restriction, and I particularly enjoy supporting those navigating chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, musculoskeletal injuries, women’s pelvic floor dysfunction and health challenges, and children’s wellbeing and development. I also regularly work with adult and youth athletes and martial artists – helping them minimise injury, improve recovery and stay connected to the sports they love.
Before retraining in bodywork, I spent over two decades working in frontline healthcare as a Registered Paediatric Dietitian within cancer and surgical services, supporting both adults and children during some of the most challenging phases of their lives. That experience taught me that healing is never just physical – it is emotional, personal and deeply individual.
My own journey through chronic pain and injury has shaped the way I practice. I understand what it’s like to feel limited by the body, and the relief that comes when it begins to let go. I’ve learnt first hand how to manage the journey to recover from chronic pain. In my practise I use a blend of myofascial release therapy, soft tissue techniques, movement and somatic awareness, medical acupuncture and self-care tools to help you guide the body back toward comfort and confidence.
I first qualified in Holistic Massage in 2012 before completing a Level 5 Diploma in Sports and Remedial Massage to better support active and athletic bodies. Over time, my greatest passion became Myofascial Release Therapy – a form of bodywork that reaches both the physical and emotional layers of restriction where other therapies often have not been able to help. I’m also a dedicated Scar Work Specialist, supporting clients from just eight weeks post-surgery right through to long-term rehabilitation of the fascial system.
Outside of the treatment space, I stay connected to movement through the sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, coaching adults and kids, and time outdoors with my husband and son. Movement is at the heart of my life, and I believe every body deserves to feel free within it.
