Nico Thoemmes (Certified Rolfer®)

Hello, I’m Nico and welcome to my practice. I have been practising as a bodyworker for 17 years both as a massage therapist and a Rolfing® Structural Integration Practitioner.

My background

I was born and raised in Bristol and became interested in the fields of yoga, dance and touch therapies in my late teens. I moved to London to train in Contemporary Dance at the Laban Centre, a conservatoire for dance and movement studies founded by the eminent Rudolph Laban, known as the father of European modern dance. I had been experimenting with various massage and bodywork therapies and was considering which modality to study. Within Rolfing I discovered a balance between focused deep pressure and an intelligent therapeutic process. It felt amazing to receive and helped me feel much better in my body.  

My Rolfing training took two years to complete under the guidance of several senior tutors from the European Rolfing Association. I am currently in part time practice as a Rolfer alongside founding Wellship, growing my daughter and renovating my house boat.

I believe bodywork is a therapeutic art, just as valid as talking therapies; healing minds and emotions as much as bodies. 

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch or book yourself in.
