About

Welcome! I’m Stephanie, and my work in John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release Therapy is a true passion, born from my own journey through chronic pain and health challenges. After struggling with carpal tunnel, fatigue, and other issues, I discovered the transformative impact of this therapy and knew I wanted to help others find the same relief and vitality.

My approach is personal and compassionate, with each session tailored to meet you exactly where you are. Trained in the USA, I’m one of only a few UK therapists with advanced expertise in Myofascial Release, allowing me to offer targeted support for chronic pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, and more.

Together, we’ll work toward genuine, lasting comfort and balance, so you can experience life with greater ease and resilience. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, healing from an injury, or simply want to feel your best, I’m here to help you thrive.

Testimonials

There is a lot going on with what seems to be minimal intervention. I experience the gentle hands-on and continued holding of points as a reconnection and revival on a deeper level, as if the fascia were electric wires, freed up to conduct and communicate better yet again.
I feel safe in Stephanie’s gentle presence, and love her intuitive way of working.
She has the gift to naturally and easily read and follow the language and landscape of my body and embodiment, and helps to free it up. Amazing.
I always end up falling into a deeply relaxing space, - a place of peace.
Thank you Stephanie.

I'm normally really useless at remembering to write reviews but just had to share my recent experiences with Stephie! I've had four treatments now and I can honestly say I haven't felt this good in years. The first three sessions were rough, with quite severe healing crises afterwards, but I kept going, once the crisis had lifted, I could see the difference it was making. The last one was a game changer, my posture is different, I feel lighter, calmer, and in a lot less pain than I've been in for over a decade. Life changing sounds like such a cliche but I truly think it is. I can't wait to continue my healing journey with Stephie!

Stephie has a wonderful calming presence and, most importantly, listens and is fully present during sessions. She successfully treated my lower back and hip pain with myofascial release, which has enabled me to start running again. I highly recommend!! Thank you Stephie!

If you are looking for a therapist who is highly skilled, intuitive and able to understand and see the whole person, then you will find her in Stephanie Reading! Stephanie's calm, relatable manner sets you at ease straight away. She is very knowledgeable and uses her wider life experiences to offer a person-centered treatment. As a therapist myself who has had the pleasure of working with Stephanie, I would highly recommend you see her!

I've had several treatments with Steph now and she's always been professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I was nervous before the first session but she helped me feel at ease and totally relaxed. As an active jiu jitsu competitor my body goes through a lot and Steph has helped me get back to feeling myself and able to continue with my intensive training schedule. I highly recommend her treatments and will be a returning customer!
