Ana Andresen

MER Practitioner in Training

I am a Bristol based Massage Therapist and Medical Herbalist. I am passionate about plants, healing and embodiment. My journey into bodywork began 14 years ago with a Holistic Massage course. Since then I have also delved deep into Herbal Medicine with a three year BSc. My bodywork training also included a year long Remedial and Sports Massage diploma.

I discovered Myofascial Energetic Release in 2024 and since then it has become the main foundation of my work. I love the slowness of MER and find clients benefit hugely from the opportunity to slow down, listen and feel. I see this work as a partnership. I work with my clients using the breath to create awareness of what is held in the body and allow space for somatic expressions of emotional tension and pain.

My invitation during these sessions is to use the slowness and breath to take a journey through the body. To notice what feelings and sensations are present. I find the medicine of taking this journey is increased self awareness, higher vitality and more physical ease. My intention is to support the self- regulating and self -healing potential of each person.

I work with a lot of neurodivergent clients. This work is supported by my additional Trauma and Neurodiversity training.

Embodiment practices are a key part of my life. This includes breath work, therapeutic dance, saunas, lake swimming and singing in a choir.
