Your Therapist
Hello and welcome.
​​​
My name is Jana Novotna and my interest in massage therapies has developed throughout my life.
While growing up, my brother and myself became very involved in active wellness through our mother's enthusiasm for sports, working as a PE teacher, and our father's love of hiking. I then went on to become a competitive swimmer as a young teenager (although you can still find me on occasion doing laps at Kentish Town Baths) while my older brother qualified as a professional fitness trainer and sports therapist.
​
Working as an accountant for several years, the lack of physical movement did not agree with me.
After moving to London I decided to pursue my hobby and so I qualified as a holistic massage therapist. Expanding my skills with further training in deep tissue and more advanced techniques, I became part of the team at a well known London spa gaining day to day experience.
​
Always hungry for something new, I have since studied and qualified in many modalities. All of those skills, experience, and never ending education is often combined and applied when and as needed to provide the best possible outcome for my clients.
​
I am currently practising from a private room at the Gentle Movement Clinic where the treatments are based on the specific needs of the individual client.

I am a registered and insured member of FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists) www.fht.org.uk​ also Full Member of MLD UK and part of Restore Scar Therapy Community and now also listed at PhysioPod UK Ltd
