AMANDA BUCHER

I have been practising as a Massage Therapist since 1997 after I graduated from The Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy, Toronto, Canada. I worked in a Sports’ Injury Rehabilitation Clinic in Hamburg, Germany where I gained incredible experience in treating clients’ injuries from - hip replacements, knees and ligament surgery to postural sports’ injuries.

In 2001, I set up the Side Hotel in Hamburg Spa which was designed by Matheo Thun an Italian architect. I set up an exclusive spa with a treatment menu and yoga / fitness regime. 

In 2002, I trained to be a Hatha Yoga Teacher - ‘Sivananda style’ at a mountain retreat ashram in Austria. Teaching Yoga in German in my early stages was somewhat challenging! I taught in the Y8 Sivananda studio Hamburg. In my years working as a massage therapist and yoga teacher I have built up an impressive list of clients’ in media, film, art and music as well as having the opportunity to work with corporate organisations such as Google, musical theatre Billy Elliot and working backstage with Weleda skincare and body products for London Fashion Week.

I am now living and working in The Cotswolds with weekly visits to London to treat clients as well as travelling the length and breadth of The Cotswolds for massage and facial treatments and regular yoga classes.
