DIFFERENT JOURNEYS. SHARED VALUES.
Experience shaped
in London and beyond.
No two therapists join Asiatic through exactly the same path.
Our team’s experience spans London massage studios, traditional Thai training, busy Bangkok practices, international hospitality and years of hands-on client care.
Those different backgrounds bring perspective and personality to every treatment.
What stays consistent is the Asiatic standard:
Listen.
Understand.
Communicate.
Adapt.
Experience is not only about knowing techniques.
It is also knowing when to slow down, when to adjust pressure, when to focus longer on one area and when simply to give someone enough time to settle.
MEET THE THERAPISTS
The people behind your treatment.
Every Asiatic therapist works across both our Angel and Highbury studios.
Some clients already know exactly who they would like to see. Others choose the treatment first and let reception help them find a therapist whose personality and working style may suit them.
Oli
Grounding | Nurturing | Creative
Growing up in Chiang Mai around her mother’s private health and wellbeing clinic, Oli was introduced to bodywork and holistic care from an early age. Later, a Taiwanese monk expanded her understanding of hands-on alignment and manipulation techniques, deepening a curiosity that has stayed with her ever since. Oli brings that same instinctive creativity to massage. An artist, photographer and former Bangkok café owner, she notices detail, adapts naturally and enjoys working with her hands. Her treatments blend attentive pressure, movement and an intuitive sense of what each client needs, making her one of Asiatic’s most distinctive and multi-skilled massage therapists.
Jane
Strong | Precise | Restorative
Jane is from Northeast Thailand and has 12 years of massage experience, including eight years at Asiatic. Before joining us, she worked at Siam Breeze Angel and Om Thai Massage & Spa, where she developed a strong background in traditional Thai bodywork. Jane specialises in Thai techniques, assisted yoga-style stretching and working along the Sen lines. She also integrates deep tissue and therapeutic massage techniques, offering a strong yet balanced experience. Jane is known for her firm, precise and attentive approach. Clients who prefer strong pressure and targeted work around stubborn muscular tension particularly value her treatments. After a session, clients often feel lighter, looser and refreshed.

Nita has been part of Asiatic since its early days. She first joined the team in 2009 and worked with us until 2016. After that, she moved back to Thailand and built her career internationally, working at the Shangri-La Hotel in Bangkok and with OneSpaWorld on Princess Cruises. In 2024, she returned to Asiatic. Nita’s experience has shaped her refined, spa-focused approach to massage. She naturally understands what each client needs and creates personalised treatments that are smooth, thoughtful and deeply relaxing. Calm and skilled, Nita’s return reflects her lasting commitment to the standards and care that have defined Asiatic from the beginning.

She joined Asiatic in 2022 after gaining experience in several London massage and spa settings, including three years with Kobkun Thai Therapy. Deep Tissue Massage is Lucky’s speciality, and she approaches it with confidence, focus and responsiveness to the person in front of her. She combines strength with good judgement, adjusting pressure and technique carefully rather than relying on intensity alone. Her broad international experience gives her a versatile style that feels both skilled and reassuring.

Alex
Versatile | Intuitive | Accomplished
Alex has seven years of massage experience, including about three years at Asiatic. He is known for his adaptable approach to bodywork. Alex specialises in Traditional Thai Massage and Thai Yoga stretching, blending assisted movement with focused therapeutic work when clients need deeper intensity. Alex can deliver firm, targeted deep-tissue pressure, yet his touch can become remarkably light and flowing for holistic or Swedish-style massage. That ability to shift naturally between strength and softness makes every session feel genuinely individual. One of Asiatic’s standout therapists, Alex creates treatments clients remember - and often come back specifically to experience again.

Her treatments feel structured and nurturing. She offers Manual Lymphatic Drainage at our Angel and Highbury & Islington studios, always bringing the same careful, detail-focused approach to each session.

Firmer work when that
is what you want.
Not everybody comes to Asiatic looking for Thai Massage.
Some clients want firmer pressure after training. Others want more attention around the shoulders, back or legs after long hours sitting, travelling or working.
Our therapists also offer Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage and other forms of focused bodywork.
For people looking for deep tissue and therapeutic bodywork in London, our approach remains simple: Clear communication. Appropriate pressure. Enough time to work carefully.
We do not promise to correct posture, cure pain or treat medical conditions. We focus on the areas you want more attention given to, adjusting pressure and pace around your comfort.
Clear communication.
Appropriate pressure.
Enough time to work carefully.
CHOOSING A MASSAGE THERAPIST IN LONDON
Finding the right therapist is about more than pressure.
Choosing a massage therapist is personal. Some people prefer a quiet therapist. Others enjoy conversation. Some want firm, focused bodywork. Others want movement, stretching or simply enough time to slow down. Experience matters. So do communication, personality and how comfortable you feel during the appointment.
At Asiatic, you do not have to work this out by yourself. Our reception team knows the therapists, their personalities, schedules and ways of working. Tell us what you are looking for. We can help you find the right appointment.
HOW WE CHOOSE OUR THERAPISTS
Technique matters. So does everything around it.
Every therapist joining Asiatic is selected for more than technique alone. We look at hands-on skill, communication, professionalism, pressure awareness and the ability to adapt treatment around the individual.
We pay attention to how therapists respond to feedback and how comfortable they make clients feel. A therapist may know many techniques. What matters is knowing how and when to use them. Experienced hands. Clear communication. One Asiatic standard.
FAMILIAR FACES
A team that feels like home.
Asiatic was never meant to be a collection of anonymous treatment rooms. Our therapists and reception team know one another, work closely together and share responsibility for your experience from arrival to treatment.
Many clients return to the same people year after year. They are welcomed by familiar faces, remembered by reception and often develop long-standing relationships with therapists whose way of working they already know and trust.
That familiarity matters. For some clients, coming back to Asiatic feels less like visiting a business and more like returning somewhere they already know.
Different personalities. One team.
CLIENT STORIES
What clients say about our therapists.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND OUR VISIT
Meet Our Reception & Client Care Team

Koong
Dependable | Warm | Dedicated

She knows the studios, therapists and regular clients well, and her attention to detail keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes.
