    Rachelle Ertlé

    Founder

    ITEC CThA

    Rachelle created Heal Studio, a wellness collective offering massage, yoga and sauna. Her work began with the Barking Bathhouse, an Olympic legacy project in 2012, and grew into Heal Studio, converting library space into a spa. She has 30 years of experience in massage and wellness, and works alongside GPs, the NHS and local organisations to bring health support to the community. Community is where her heart truly lies.

    Separately, Rachelle is available for spa consulting projects, helping wellness businesses take shape from the ground up.

    Aneta Wojczekowska

    Massage Therapist I.T.E.C. CThA

    Aneta brings a healer's heart and therapist's wisdom to every session, weaving together her physiotherapy background from Poland with the gentle art of therapeutic touch. Her journey into wellness began when she witnessed the profound relief that bodywork brought clients at a Polish Health Centre, inspiring her to train at the London School of Massage. Since joining Heal Studio in 2023, Aneta has created a sanctuary of relief for those seeking freedom from discomfort. Her hands intuitively blend scientific precision with nurturing care, attending to not just muscles and tissues, but to the whole person seeking wellness and restoration.

  • Rukhsar Bhola

    Sports and Massage Therapist BSc Hons CThA

    Rukhsar brings both sensitivity and strength to every session, with an intuitive understanding of how the body holds tension and what it needs to let go. Her treatments are deeply attentive and purposeful — whether you're carrying a long week in your muscles, managing a persistent ache, or recovering from physical activity, she creates a space where your body feels genuinely heard. A qualified Sports Therapist trained at the University of Essex, Rukhsar has worked with clients including West Ham United Women's Football Team. As a footballer herself, she brings lived understanding of what an active body demands — making her equally at home with athletes and anyone simply in need of skilled, healing hands.
