Meet Tony McKendry

Your local master massage therapist

My passion is helping people relax, recharge and recover through the power of massage. I offer a welcoming and comfortable space for my clients to unwind, take time out, and let go of their everyday stresses.

There is a thoughtful and intuitive touch to each and every session. My goal is simple: to help you feel more at ease and relaxed in your body and mind. You’ll get exactly what your body needs – nothing more, nothing less. Your tired muscles will thank you for it!

Every session is grounded in trust, good energy, and total respect for your boundaries. You’ll leave feeling refreshed & rebalanced, more ready than ever to tackle the challenges of everyday life.

In recent years I’ve completed courses focused on Swedish and Rebalancing massage. In addition, I have training in counselling and have worked with the Samaritans in this role. I’m currently studying advanced massage techniques, exploring European styles and methods with a focus on the healing power of touch.

Recent Training

In August 2025 I completed further training in Amsterdam with the fabulous Iza Wijffels. The course focused on both muscle and joint massage – European style.

Iza’s practice, With-Ease Massage, is a holistic practice designed to release deep-seated physical and emotional tension through a personalized, full-body oil massage.

This approach is deeply rooted in rebalancing massage techniques, which combine slow, mindful movements with deep tissue work to restore balance and calm to the body and mind.

Some further details

My massage room is accessible through its own entrance door, located at the far side of the house, at the end of the garage. For each session, I will meet you in the dedicated welcoming area, making it easy for you to park and enter my facility.

I believe in the approach of navigating life with a positive mindset (where possible). As part of this, I believe I can help people through massage, along with listening and talking where desired. Whether you are seeking a quiet space, or a place to talk, the choice is yours.

Like many of us as we progress through life, I work from home, taking care of my other main business, hence only doing two massage appointments each day. I’m married, with three grown daughters.
