Hi I’m Michele ,a level four qualified Sports Massage Therapist, I am based at Anytime Fitness in Barnstaple North Devon, I have always had love of helping people , after a family tragedy in 2021, I decided to retrain and follow in the footsteps of my late son and gain a qualification in sports massage .
Brandon was a keen power lifter, he would spend many hours in the gym perfecting his passion for lifting weights, he was also a fully qualified personal trainer, fitness and spin instructor. As part of his continued personal development he went on to train as a sports massage therapist , Brandon had already received his level three qualification , and was training for his level four qualification when covid disrupted his training. Then in 2021 Brandon was killed in a road accident.
We had always joked about setting out in business together, with Brandon being the personal trainer and fitness instructor and myself training to be a sports massage therapist, I decided that I had to fulfil our dream and gained my VTCT level four sports massage therapist qualification, from there Bumblebee Massage was formed
Bumblebees have become a symbol that we remember Brandon with so it only seemed natural to become Bumblebee Massage.
I decided to train at the same college where Brandon did all of his training , I started my training in 2022 and spent the next two years gaining great understanding of how sports massage.
