Yellow Summer Therapies

 A little about me….

Hi, I’m Tia, the heart behind Yellow Summer Therapies.

Health, fitness, and natural living have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and they continue to shape everything I offer today. I grew up in South Africa, where the sunshine, sea, and barefoot living created a deep sense of warmth and connection to nature. It’s a feeling I still carry with me, and one I’ve gently woven into the calm, nurturing space I’ve created.

Over 20 years ago, I moved to London and found myself working in a corporate environment that never truly felt aligned. After years of searching for something more meaningful, I discovered reflexology—an experience that quietly changed everything. It not only supported my own wellbeing but also awakened a natural desire to help others feel more balanced, calm, and connected within themselves.

Since then, I’ve gone on to study a range of holistic therapies, experiencing first-hand how powerful these practices can be. My role now is to support and gently guide others on their own journey—helping you to slow down, feel supported, and reconnect with a sense of health and wellbeing.

    My Approach

    My approach is gentle, intuitive, and centred around you. No two treatments are ever the same—each session is guided by how you feel on the day, both physically and emotionally. I take time to listen, creating a calm, unhurried space where you can fully relax and let go.

    My hands are guided by experience and intuition, allowing me to tune into where you may be holding stress or discomfort.

    Everything is thoughtfully considered—from your consultation to the flow of your treatment, the oils used, and the energy of the space around you. My intention is simple: to help you slow down, feel supported, and gently reconnect with a sense of calm, ease, and wellbeing.

    Holistic Skincare

    I believe that what we put on our body is just as important as what we put in it. For this reason, I create my own products for treatments using the purest, most natural ingredients. I love blending aromatherapy oils, reflexology waxes, and skincare creams that nurture both skin and spirit.

    You’ll also find some of my products available to purchase, including:

    • Personalised aromatherapy blends for face and body
    • Pulse-point rollers
    • My signature aura spray
