About Fi
I'm Fi, the founder of Origin Massage and a pregnancy and postnatal massage specialist.
Before becoming a more hands-on therapist, I was an antenatal educator for 7 years where I developed a huge amount of knowledge surrounding fertility, pregnancy and birth. Prior to this, I had more of a corporate/sales career but after the birth of my first child, this became very unappealing to return to.
The birth of my second child solidified this desire to work in a field I was genuinely passionate about and so I began my work with The Daisy Foundation. I have had 4 full-term pregnancies, one miscarriage at 10 weeks and two chemical pregnancies as a result of IVF treatment for surrogate pregnancies. You might say I love everything about being pregnant and giving birth!
And I would agree. You can read more about my surrogacy journey in HuffPost. I've learned so much through the years, through my own body and through working with many hundreds of families in Sheffield.
I am passionate about helping people feel comfortable with their pregnancy, prepared and ready for birth and supporting new parents afterwards through massage. I specialise in pregnancy massage because I am familiar and comfortable with pregnant bodies.

Experience and passion combined
Anyone who knows me knows that I love love LOVE getting a massage! I find them relaxing a they make a huge difference to my mood. During all my pregnancies I have found that massages have helped me a lot and it was because of my own first hand experience that I wanted to train as a massage therapist and offer that after my antenatal classes came to an end. They are a match made in heaven, I think you will agree.
I have been able to combine my experiences of being massaged, my extensive knowledge of the pregnant body and my antenatal training and experience to become one of the few highly skilled and experienced pregnancy massage therapists in Sheffield.
