About

I certified as a Deep Tissue Massage Therapist through Brandon Raynor’s International School of Natural Therapies in 2018.  I offer treatments from my home treatment room in Woodley. I also offer mobile treatments services to accommodate clients with travel restrictions or just prefer a massage in their safe space.

It’s my mission to share this life-changing treatment with everyone. I can help by releasing residual tension thereby improving the overall quality of life.

A bit more about me

I have always been really passionate about helping people.  I realised at a young age that I had a natural talent for massage and knew that it was a field I wanted to pursue.

As with many, some unforeseen circumstances prevented me from studying physiotherapy as I planned, and my life took a different direction.

For years I survived by just working, changing jobs, and hoping the next venture would be better.  I spent 11 years doing jobs that brought me no fulfilment at all.

Things started changing for me in 2011 when my wife and I made the decision to immigrate from South Africa to the UK.  Moving to a new country with very limited finances and without any job prospects it was probably the most daunting thing I have ever done, and quite honestly it was no easy feat.  I found a job within the first month of arriving in the UK.  Granted it was not glamorous, nor was it at management level as my position previously held, but it was a job.  I was just so grateful to start on my career path in the UK.

In 2015 I suffered a tremendous set-back when I was made redundant from the company I was employed at and things spiralled out of control.  I started job-hopping and lost my direction, self-worth, and confidence.

I realised I needed to make a change and things could not carry on the way it had been.  After having endless sleepless nights and wondering what the universe had in store for me, I saw the advertisement for Dave Taylor Massage Training on Facebook.  I signed up for more information and after reading through it, I realised that the course was designed for me and that being a Deep Tissue Massage Therapist was exactly what I should be doing.

This realisation was so strong that I immediately booked onto the course.

The day I qualified as a Raynor Deep Tissue Massage Therapist was the proudest and happiest day of my life.

My new journey had begun, and I could not wait to get my name out there.

I am Zané Barlow, a qualified Raynor Deep Tissue Massage Therapist and I will use my skills, knowledge and natural abilities to provide the best massage treatment you have ever experienced.

I have since traded as a Massage Therapist under Goju Massage and further improved my skills by doing Abhyanga and Vishesh treatments while working as a Massage Therapist at the Ayurveda Retreat in Friar Street in Reading.

I am passionate about massage and my focus is 100% on the person receiving a massage as I want to ensure the best possible result.
