Anne — Licensed Massage Therapist, Abu Dhabi

- Background: Massage therapy training and practice, Kenya
- Specialties: Sports Massage, Swedish Relaxation Massage, Thai Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Maderotherapy
Anne is our senior massage therapist, bringing 13+ years of experience in the massage field to every session. She spent 7 years building her practice in Kenya before relocating to the UAE, where she has now practiced for the past 6 years as a DOH-licensed therapist in Abu Dhabi.
Her range is broader than most — where many therapists specialize narrowly, Anne moves comfortably between relaxation-focused work like Swedish massage and more technical, targeted techniques like deep tissue and sports massage, adjusting her approach based on what a client actually needs rather than offering one fixed style. This versatility is particularly useful for clients who aren’t sure which type of massage suits them, since she can gauge and adapt pressure and technique within a single session.
She’s also one of the few therapists on the team trained in Maderotherapy, a wood-therapy technique focused on body contouring and firmness rather than muscle relief — a specialty that requires distinct training separate from standard massage technique. Paired with her lymphatic drainage work, she’s a strong option for clients focused on circulation and body wellness rather than pain relief alone.
Clients consistently note that her sessions strike a balance that’s harder to find than it sounds — technically effective work delivered with a calm, unhurried approach, rather than treatment that feels purely clinical or purely relaxing.
Best suited for:
clients wanting a versatile therapist across both relaxation and deep-tissue work, Maderotherapy or body-contouring treatments, and anyone who prefers a therapist who adjusts technique within the session rather than sticking to one fixed style.
