"I am committed  to making a difference. Who I am is what I have to give."
Sue MacLusky.

Sue is a 'real people person' who has had a life long interest in Massage Therapies and healing.  About ten years ago Sue decided to give up her stressful job and re-trained as a Holistic Massage Therapist. She believes it's the best decision she ever made.

"I'm passionate about massage & healing and know that my chosen vocation, which I call "making a difference" was truly meant for me. It is my life's work."

Sue is a fully committed & inspired, Massage Therapist & Healer who works from three Therapy Centres in Stourbridge, Kidderminster and Bromsgrove. Other work activities include writing & running 'Inspiration Workshops'. Sue has recently trained at a 'Laughter Facilitator' with the 'Laughter Yoga network (endorsed by Dr.Madan Kataria) and runs a regular 'Laughter Club' in Stourbridge. Sue is a Tutor at The Isbourne Holistic Centre in Cheltenham and has set up her own 'Hands Off' courses, offering private advanced 'Hands Off' massage training to other therapists.

Sue's training is a fusion of skills gleaned from the very best eastern and western practices. She has trained with TouchPro UK in London and has also travelled further afield to seek out  the 'Massage Masters' and top trainers in bodywork to receive the very best quality teaching available. Having trained with the pioneers of 'Hands free' Massage she has gone on to develop her own unique 'Hands Off' training workshops. *(which are in huge demand - click on 'Training').

Outside of her work  Sue enjoys a life of abundance and endeavours to keep as fit as possible so she can continue to do this work. " I owe it to my wonderful clients to keep in tip top condition, not only to be an inspiration but also to continue learning from each and every one of them.  A few years ago my son asked me what I would do if I ever got a robber or a bad man come to see me!  I reassured him that I never, ever, get anyone like that....just great people who I feel privileged to work with!" (He didn't believe me, "but what would you do IF a bad man did come to see you Mom?" So I told him that I would just send them on their way with a blessing! 

Sue has a strong interest in 'personal development' so has written a few thoughts on healing: (and why we, as healers, need to continually heal ourselves...and the healing never ends!)

 Sue believes the Massage she practices is healing and has developed her healing and spirituality over a number of years. She is now able to offer healing, meditations and guided visualisation & healing stories to her clients.

"To be a healer you must heal yourself....and the healing never ends.  As a Massage Therapist the work I do is healing as I enable or trigger a person's body to heal. So it's not me that is doing the healing - I am simply enabling the body or the person to take whatever they need from the Massage. I believe the healing never ends and I have put myself on my own healing & spiritual journey. I go for regular healing & therapy myself, whether it's in the form of Massage or inner 'journey' work.  I believe the work I do on myself is essential if I am to continue to be a inspiration and assist my clients with their own healing journey.  I have been deeply influenced by Louise Hay and Deepak Chopra and use affirmations and positive intentions to keep me on the right track"

Sue has trained in Reiki healing but has also explored many other different forms of healing and energy work. She continues to do inner work and develop herself so she can be of greater assistance to her clients.

Sue believes in setting postive intentions & affirmations and practices transformational breathing. She strongly believes a Massage should be like a meditation; it should be smooth, flowing and calming.  Sue is experienced in using visualisations & meditations to deepen relaxation levels. Sue tailors her massage techniques to suit the individual and uses her forearms, as well as her hands, to give a massage which is deeper and more dynamic than most. 

Modesty is paramount, the body is always covered with towel, if oils are used.  Sue provides a caring service to men and
women of all different shapes and sizes from age 18 to 90 ! You can sit in a chair or lie down fully clothed, you can have massage with or without oils so you don't have to take any clothes off unless you choose to, so that oils can be applied. But, the most important thing is that you are comfortable at all times.  Sue's Massage is always very gentle,  but strong in the effect it has on the client.

Client comfort is essential - Sue provides a safe, warm, clean & comfortable room. Sue ensures the enviroment isalways cleansed and is extremely relaxing & tranquil for you.  A softly candle-lit room with soothing music or peace and quiet - the choice is yours.

Confidentiality - Sue abides by the FHT Code of Ethics. Client confidentiality and a professional code of conduct is maintained at all times.

Respect - every client is respected and treated in a non-judgemental way. Clients of all ages, backgrounds and ethnic origin are welcome and treated as individuals.

Gentle and strong - Sue uses slow rhythmical movements & stretches to give a Massage which is deeper, but gentle, and therefore more effective than most.  She also uses her body weight and forearms to give a deeply relaxing and very potent massage. As Sue says, "My strength is my strength"

"There's nothing so strong as great gentleness, nothing as gentle as real strength" (Anon)

SUE'S MASSAGES ARE ABSOLUTELY MARVELLOUS - I'VE BEEN BOOKING REGULARLY FOR THE LAST 2 + YEARS AND WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TOTALLY. AFTERWARDS i ALWAYS SLEEP WELL - THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR LIFTING MY SPIRITS.' Dawn H.
