Body Revive was started over 13 years ago by Karen who was working in the fitness industry and went to study sports massage after struggling with a back injury of her own. She entered the industry wanting to fix people but soon realised that it was about way more than easing physical aches and pains.

She started by sharing a room with another fabulous therapist who encouraged her to take more training and extend the services provided.

In 2015 Karen retired from fitness and Body Revive moved to the round tower at Pot House Hamlet, a beautiful, quaint but very small space where the business really took off as it was now the sole work focus. It is around this time that Rachelle started working odd days too (yes, so long ago!).

In 2019 we had outgrown the tower and moved into The Old Mill building to enable expansion. Best move ever!

Here Yvonne came on board, followed by Helen and then, just before lockdown, Carol. All set up nicely. Then Covid.

Tough times but we came back stronger. Rach came and joined us permanently and Sarah then joined us. More recently our baby of the team, Meg has started working with us.

It’s a carefully picked team which enables the ethos of Body Revive being a safe, comfortable space to come, can be continued whoever is working. Just perfect.

We are a wonderful mixed bag of anxieties and insecurities so we work hard to make sure all clients feel like part of the family and can leave their fears at the door.

Although a self-confessed control freak, Karen has managed to step back from doing as many ‘hands on’ appointments in order to focus on building the business, as she is confident that the team are more than capable of looking after everyone. This is proven by the amount of regular rebookings that we get and the amazing reviews and client feedback.

So to all our fabulous clients, thanks for joining us on our journey. Body Revive is amazing but without you, we are nothing.
