Professional massage therapy
Hackney, East London
A sanctuary for every LGBTQ+ body.
Expert massage therapy designed to release physical tension, ease stress, and create space to fully let go — in a space that's genuinely safe for you.
Life is busy. Your body carries the stress of every day.
At New Leaf Massage, we help LGBTQ+ adults unwind, recover, and feel lighter - physically and emotionally.
Safe hands. Every time.
Each session is personalised, with techniques that target your unique tension patterns and restore balance. Here, your safety and comfort aren't assumed - they're guaranteed.
Finally, a space where you can switch off completely.
I'm Jamie Cross, a qualified massage therapist based in Hackney, East London.
I hold an ITEC Level 3 qualification in massage therapy, I'm a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT), and I'm fully insured.
Before retraining, I spent 15 years in a high-pressure corporate career. Over time, I came to understand the physical cost of that work — the tension that never quite left, a nervous system that didn't know how to stand down. My own experience of burnout, and the slow process of learning how to properly rest, led me to massage therapy.
My approach combines Swedish massage with targeted deep tissue work, shaped by careful listening, consent, and collaboration. Sessions are paced and responsive, adapted to what your body needs on the day rather than a fixed routine.
I work primarily from my studio in Haggerston, Hackney (4a Orsman Road, N1 5QJ), and I also offer home visits for clients who prefer to receive care in their own space. I specialise in working with LGBTQ+ adults.
