The Story of
Mayura Wellbeing
I’m Caz, founder of Mayura Wellbeing, and an absolute nerd about massage! But that wasn’t always the way. In my former life, I was an Office and Facilities Manager. I spent my days looking after hundreds of people, I was constantly stressed and not entirely happy with my career path. While I enjoyed caring for others, it often felt unappreciated. I’d fallen into most of my jobs so when the pandemic hit, I finally had the opportunity to stop, assess my life and consider what I truly wanted.
While on furlough, I looked for something to challenge my mind and stumbled upon Reiki. I knew nothing about it and initially thought it seemed a bit "woo-woo", but it piqued my interest. I was amazed at how it helped with my anxiety, got me more in tune with my own body and even helped me through my menopause. This sparked a "learning bug", that is still with me today, and inspired me to launch Mayura Wellbeing.
When I lost my job in 2021, I booked straight onto several massage courses to dip my toes into the industry while looking for a new role. I quickly fell in love with it, but another job came around and massage was kept as a hobby. I was made redundant again two years later, I realised the Universe was giving me the nudge
I needed to make this a full-time career and a week after my last day in the office,
I was in a salon tunic, sitting in a classroom, ready to learn. I can tell you that as a woman in her late 40s, that was a scary thing to do but I do not regret the decision and today, I am qualified in over twenty different massage and wellbeing modalities (see, I told you I’m a nerd!) and am always exploring new treatments to enhance my practice.
I absolutely LOVE what I do and the variety of people that I meet. I go from cosy homes, luxury homes, busy offices, events venues, and the private spaces of well-known public figures, and sports personalities; I’ve even given hard working mechanics a massage in their garage, but every client is treated like a VIP! Whatever your body shape, gender, physical ability, lifestyle or age, I am here to provide wellbeing services with only your wellbeing in mind.
