About
Welcome to Nordic Therapies
I’m Jani, and my passion is bringing deeply restorative, highly effective healing techniques from Finland to the UK. My approach blends traditional wisdom with modern bodywork, offering a unique, results-driven alternative to conventional massage therapies.
In 2024, I began my journey with Traditional Kalevala Mobilisation Therapy (TKMT)—a method rooted in over a thousand years of Finnish folk medicine. It’s a rare and powerful technique that works deep within the body to release tension, improve mobility, and restore balance. As the only practitioner in the UK offering TKMT in its purest form, I love introducing people to this profound healing experience.
From January 2025, I’m excited to expand my practice with Neural Pathway Massage, a highly specialised Finnish therapy designed to support the body’s natural ability to heal and reset. I’m incredibly fortunate to be learning directly from the daughter of Annikki Kankkunen, the founder of this technique—ensuring I bring this work to my clients with the deepest level of knowledge and skill.
A Journey of Learning & Discovery
My work is inspired by my experiences in Finland, where I was treated by an extraordinary healer, Mirkku. Her ability to resolve even the most stubborn issues—from minor injuries to chronic conditions—was unlike anything I had encountered before. While conventional medicine often relied on painkillers and temporary fixes, her approach, deeply rooted in TKMT and neural pathway massage, got to the source of the problem and truly healed it.
Through her guidance, I’ve been able to integrate some of her rare and highly effective techniques into all of my treatments, making them even more tailored, intuitive, and transformative.
A Completely Bespoke Approach
Beyond TKMT, I have also trained in Raynor Massage, earning a Level 3 Diploma in this highly effective modality. Raynor Massage blends elements of Shiatsu, Reflexology, Lomi Lomi, Chinese Medicine, and Ayurvedic Massage, helping to release deep-seated tension and restore flow within the body.
I’m the only therapist in London offering a fusion of TKMT, neural pathway massage and Raynor Massage — a combination that allows me to approach each treatment with a fully bespoke, intuitive, and results-focused perspective.
My Signature Massage is more than just a treatment; it’s an experience, tailored entirely to you. No two sessions are ever the same — every treatment is designed around what your body needs most on that day, whether it’s deep tension relief, improved mobility, or a sense of total reset and relaxation.
Nordic Therapies: Where Traditional Healing Meets Modern Wellbeing
I believe in offering something beyond the standard deep tissue or sports massage. My treatments are designed for those who appreciate high-quality, results-driven bodywork — people who want more than just relaxation, but a real shift in how they feel, move, and function.
If you’re looking for a thoughtfully curated, highly skilled approach to healing and bodywork, I’d love to welcome you into my practice.
This is healing designed for you — crafted with care, rooted in tradition, and made to bring out the very best in your body.
