Our Story & Team

Our Story

Tonic Training was founded in 2009 by Celine Samson, Massage & MFR practitioner. Celine grew up in a family where yoga and meditation was part of everyday health and wellbeing. She believes this early exposure to the healing arts led her to study massage therapy in London at the tender age 18 years. She has always had a fascination for the interconnectedness and workings of mind and body. Massage was the ideal starting point.

Celine continued to invest in her professional and personal development by training in multidisciplinary therapies including sports massage, Thai yoga massage, manual lymphatic drainage and myofascial release.

Whilst training in myofascial release with various London based tutors has been hugely inspirational for her, It was the discovery of the John F Barnes method that has opened her eyes to a much bigger and extraordinary picture of the human psyche, mind and body, the fascial system.
