Hello and welcome to Healing Zen Massage. I am Graham Stannard, owner and massage practitioner. I am qualified in the Zen-Su style of massage and I am passionate about helping people to live their best possible lives.

As well as being a qualified massage practitioner, I am also attuned to the healing powers of chi, using a Japanese practice, of which I have been practising for over 15 years. 

Like many people I have spent a lot of my life searching for a meaningful way to live and for work that I truly enjoy. Throughout my life I have worked in a variety of jobs and over the years I have come to learn that I really enjoy helping others and this led me to a realisation that my true passion is to help people to live their best possible lives.

What solidified this for me was learning a technique of deep tissue massage with my friend, Suzen. She had developed a style called Zen-Su which incorporates what she had learned from her work with Tai-Chi and also Chi-Gong.

After completing my studies with her, I found myself incorporating my own chi healing energy work into the massage treatments that I was offering and discovered that this has its own unique benefits in assisting people.

Over the years I have also enjoyed working in radio presenting a number of music shows and more recently, presenting and being involved with a mental health podcast on the Essex based radio station, Phoenix FM. With this show, I have been exploring ways of speaking to and interviewing others who are helping people to feel better or who have forged their own way of living a life they truly enjoy and are able to share.

As part of the continuing learning and developing of my practices and passions, I have recently added Feng Shui into my studies, after learning how the energies of our external space can help us internally. I believe this will be a great addition to the work that I am already able to provide directly with people’s bodies, along with applying what I have learned myself whilst living a life I truly enjoy.
