"It's never too late to begin again- with heart, purpose, and passion.

New path can start at any age- just follow your dreams"

I'm Violeta Olariu, a passionate and fully qualified IHPM holistic massage therapist and tutor, dedicated to helping people regain balance, reduce pain, and feel better in their bodies.

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped not only by formal training, but by personal experience.

My Story

Born and raised in Romania, I worked in office-based roles for over 28 years- roles that took a toll on my body. Sitting for long hours in front of a desk led to chronic sciatica, which affected me for over 20 years. After a decade of relying on pain medication and eventually being told I need spinal surgery, I discovered massage therapy- and for the first time, found real relief. That moment sparked a deep interest in the healing power of touch.

​

With a full-time job and a busy home life as a mother and wife, I couldn't pursue formal training that time. Still, I didn't give up. I began to self-study- buying books, watching videos, and practising on family and friends. It became clear that helping others through massage was more than a curiosity- it was a calling.

​

In 2011, I moved to the UK at the age of 46 to care for my granddaughter. That change brought me the chance to finally follow my dream. I enrolled in a two-year massage course in Body Mechanics Therapy-Sarling Technique, and qualified as a musculoskeletal massage therapist. This unique method focuses on posture correction, soft tissue release, and remedial techniques and exercises- and through it, I understood the root causes of my own back problems.

With regular practice and training, my pain disappeared completely - no surgery, no medication.

​

I had the privilege of being taught and mentored by the incredible physiotherapist Mrs. Grace Olive Collins, founder of the Sarling Techniqueod Body Mechanics, and owner of the Body Mechanics Physiotherapy Clinic in Ware. I worked alongside her and other skilled therapists in this clinic, gaining invaluable hands-on experience.

In 2016, I moved my practice to Wings of Light Wellbeing Centre- Ware, where I continue to support my clients with personalised treatments.

​

My personal journey from pain to healing gives me a deep empathy and insight into what my clients are experiencing. I understand how debilitating chronic pain can be - and I know that, with the right treatment, healing is absolutely possible.

​

Over the years, I expanded my expertise with additional training in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Oncology Massage, Scar Tissue Release, Reflexology, Reiki, Aromatherapy, TMJ Therapy, and more.

Most recently, I earned a diploma in Education and Training, enabling me to pass on my knowledge and mentor others.

​

At Vio-Body Mechanics Therapy, you're not just another appointment - you're someone I genuinely want to help. My mission is to guide you towards better posture, less pain, and improved wellbeing, with care, skill and commitment.

Your wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do!
