About us
We’re sisters who grew up in North West London who, after years of employment, decided to make a change in our professional lives, retrain in massage and work for ourselves. That was back in 2008 and we’ve never looked back.

I came to massage, as a profession, through an unusual path of reading War Studies at Kings College London, followed by working as Head of Operations for the Holocaust Educational Trust (a brilliant charity). I looked all set to continue on this path but I felt unsatisfied, I loved my work but not the office setting, I wanted to do something more tactile, something for myself …
Then Cass and I went away for a few days and had an amazing massage treatment and ‘ping’ an epiphany moment … why not train and set up our own business? That’s exactly what we did.
It’s been an exciting journey so far, personal highlights have been working as a Sports Massage Therapist at Barnet FC (including a promotion season); organising several conferences for the Massage Training Institute and being professionally inspired by the birth of my two beautiful children to pursue the knowledge to support perinatal women.

Cassandra
I made the conscious decision to step into the therapeutic sphere over a decade ago. After experiencing some time out of my highly charged job. I took myself to the beautiful English town of Glastonbury. Throughout that period I engaged in a succession of self-led activities such as: mile-long walks, in-depth reading sessions, group meditations and therapeutic massage. All the above proved quite mind altering and I found my calling.
I remember even as a 9 year old I had some direction of where I may be headed. I used to set up weekly P.E classes in the family living room for my brother and two cousins, where conscious relaxation would be a theme. Or at the age of 11, when in a science class I became massively interested in Kilojoules (the energy food gives us).
From that turning point in Glastonbury until present I’ve undergone intensive training in: Massage, Meditation, Medical Acupuncture, Reiki and one-to-one therapy for homeless woman (through the well established charity Woman At The Well).
I mostly feel hugely fortunate for pursuing something so close to my heart; and that I was able to share It with my sister. Thus allowing us to have full autonomy on the decisions and directions made within The Green Well - thank you!
