About Jon

Jonathan Rist Dip Mass, IIR and ITEC

I am a fully qualified practitioner of Therapeutic Massage, Indian Head Massage and Reflexology, living and practicing in Sheffield.

I first became interested in complimentary therapy several years ago. As a primary school teacher, working in a challenging and stressful profession, I turned to massage as a way to unwind and relax after an exhausting day at the "chalkface". Having benefited from massage myself, I was inspired to enrol on a course at the Stillpoint Practice in Sheffield. The course in Therapeutic Massage is regarded as one of the most rigorous and demanding in the country, involving an in-depth theoretical study of anatomy as well as intensive practical training. As a result of the course, I now have a Diploma in Therapeutic Massage from the Massage Training Institute.

Currently, I am working at the Wainwright Therapy Centre in Nether Edge, which is the longest running practice in Sheffield.
