ABOUT JOANNE GILHAM
ABOUT SOJO BODYWORKS?

For the last eight years I have dedicated my professional life to supporting people along the pathway that leads to recovery. My own pathway is one of listening and learning; professional development and continual improvement. I’m driven by my love of helping. I offer a gentle, caring, uplifting and positive approach to therapy. I hold a VTCT Level four in Sports Massage, VTCT Level three in Swedish massage, a module eleven diploma in Bowen Technique and an EP level six in Emmett Technique.

I have a background in physical sports as an instructor of Wado-Ryu Karate which, as a Black Belt Second Dan, I did for over ten years. This has given me first-hand insight of the pressures and stresses that sport and daily life exert on the body, which was the inspiration behind setting up Sojo Bodyworks.

SOJO Bodyworks provides a truly holistic solution to therapy. Combining both Bowen and Emmett techniques we tailor each appointment to provide the best treatment for the body, to relieve numerous physical, environmental and psychological ailments.

SOJO Bodyworks is fully-insured.

Bowen
Bowen balances and resets the body, which aids the natural healing process. Emmett is a gentle technique used to release muscle spasms, improve movements and restore a positive emotional state. I combine both these into one therapy. Read more on my therapy pages.
Emmett
The Emmett technique is an amazingly gentle and safe muscle release therapy. It’s used to address pain and discomfort, improve body movement and restore a positive emotional state. The beneficial impact of this therapy on quality of life is nothing short of amazing.
Sports Massage
Sport massage is not only for athletes but can be beneficial for all. It can help you maintain a much healthier physical state and promote faster healing, whether that’s aiding recovery after a sporting event or addressing work related injuries. Experiencing discomfort after a half marathon or succumbing to the consequences of sitting at a desk for prolonged periods of time? Sports massage can rebalance your body.
