About Me
Hi, I’m Micaela — the woman behind Sacred Soma.
Qualified Massage Therapist, Usui Reiki Healer & Certified Pilates Instructor
My path to massage and energy healing didn’t start in a classroom. It started when I experienced postpartum depression, became a single mother and felt completely disconnected from my own body — stress transformed my health and I experienced dis-ease and chronic physical issues that affected my daily living which took me years to figure out how to bring back into balance.
That period forced me into deep inner work. It wasn’t easy, but it changed everything. I learned what it actually feels like to be nourished, held, and at home in my own body again — and I realised that experience was too valuable to keep to myself.
Sacred Soma grew out of that journey. I believe our bodies hold onto what we don’t have time to process — stress, grief, big transitions, the weight of simply doing too much for too long. My work is about creating a space where you can put that down, even briefly, and feel genuinely cared for.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, pregnant, recovering, exhausted, or just craving a moment that’s entirely yours, every session is tailored to what your body needs right now — through massage, crystal Reiki, or a blend of both.
I look forward to holding that sacred space for you.

"When I first came to Micaela, I was living with pain in my neck and shoulder that caused numbness and it was scary and uncomfortable that at times I couldn't eat or sleep. I cried because I believed it would never be fixed or healed. After receiving 4 massages, it was like a miracle! The warmth and gentleness with positive attitude she displayed gave me hope to hang in there. Her passion, genuine care and love genuinely come through her hands delivering a kind of healing I've never experienced. I recommend Micaela to anyone who is experiencing suffering like I had. "
What is Remedial Massage?
It's assessment-led and targets the root cause of your pain symptoms and movement dysfunction. This is for people needing rehab after injuries, alleviation of chronic pain or wanting to restore normal range of mobility and function. Each treatment is tailored to your specific needs on the day.
How is Sports massage different to Remedial massage?
There's overlap, but sports massage is specifically geared toward athletic performance, training recovery, and movement-related demands while remedial massage addresses a broader range of pain, tension, and dysfunction - including issues unrelated to exercise.
Do I need to be an athlete to book a Sports Massage?
Not at all - sports massage benefits anyone who's active, whether you're training for an event, hitting the gym a few times a week, or just dealing with tightness from repetitive movement or exercise.
What should I do after my massage?
Drink plenty of water, avoid intense exercise or heavy lifting, hot baths or saunas, rest well and take it easy! This is your permission to relax. Notice how you feel - you may feel lighter, looser, or even a little emotional. This is all part of releasing long-held tension so be gentle with yourself after your massage. If you have any concerns about how you're feeling, feel free to reach out to me.
I've never had Crystal Reiki before. What does it feel like?
It's very gentle, deeply calming, and completely different to massage - no firm pressure, deep digging, or manipulation at all. You'll be fully clothed on the massage table where crystals will be placed on your energetic centers and around your body using light touch or hands-off techniques. Most people feel a deep sense of peace or warmth spreading through the body, gentle tingling, drowsiness, a calm mind, or sometimes a gentle emotional release. Everyone feels it differently - there's no "right" experience. You just have to be open to resting and receiving during your session.
What's the difference between Wellness & Relaxation and Stress Management massage?
Wellness & Relaxation is a full-body Swedish style massage focusing on light to medium strokes to unwind the mind, improve overall circulation and lower stress. It's great for general wellbeing and preventative self-care. Stress Management targets an area where you've been holding stress and uses a combination of firm pressure yet grounding strokes to achieve a calm nervous system state. It may require several sessions before your body lets go of the tension depending on how much stress you are experiencing.
What can Pregnancy & Postpartum massage help with?
Pregnancy and postpartum massage helps ease lower back and hip pain, swelling, shoulder and neck tension, and fatigue related to carrying and recovery. Bookings begin from 13 weeks onwards - the 1st trimester carries the highest natural risk of miscarriage, and while massage isn't proven to cause this, we wait until the 2nd trimester as a precaution ensuring your session is as safe and supported as possible.
What kind of conditions are not safe to receive a massage?
Please do not book if you have a fever or active viral or bacterial infection, contagious skin conditions (active cold sores, ringworm, impetigo, etc.), deep vein thrombosis DVT or blood clots, uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe cardiovascular conditions or implanted devices, high risk pregnancy or postpartum complications, acute injury, uncontrolled neurological conditions, or active cancer.
You may seek clearance from your GP or specialist before booking if you have diabetes with neuropathy, osteoporosis, autoimmune conditions during active flare-ups, recent surgery or fractures, complex neurological conditions, high-risk pregnancy following into postpartum, or severe organ conditions. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss what is the safest option for you.
