Hello and welcome to my site!
I’m Gerry Andrews, The Body-Mind Coach
I’m an Advanced Massage Therapist, Body-Mind therapist/coach, Reiki practitioner and facilitator, based in Guiseley, Leeds. I specialise in trauma, chronic pain conditions, sports injury treatment and Body-Mind coaching, and for over 35 years I’ve been helping people, organisations and communities who are looking for transformation, alignment and flow.
Does this sound like you?
- Struggling with your mental health? Feeling stiff, tense, uptight much of the time, but you don’t know why?
- You’ve been living with chronic pain and other conditions for so long and you’re totally exhausted.
- You’ve tried various therapies, doctors other specialists, but nothing has really changed for you.
- You’re stuck in a cycle of busyness and burnout with no time for you!
- You’re constantly giving and being there for others, and now feel worn out inside.
- You feel you’ve reached a crossroads in your life – but you don’t know if you’re making the right choices – or even what your choices are!
- You’ve achieved some huge milestones and accomplishments in your life – yet still feel like an impostor.
- You know something needs to change, but don’t know what or how.
If any of this sounds familiar, we need to talk!
You have probably been operating from a place of stress and anxiety for longer than you know. Your nervous system has been doing what it is meant to – protect you. But it has got stuck. Your body is reflecting this old ‘holding pattern’ that no longer serves you – and you are literally frozen – one foot on the accelerator, the other on the brake.
But just talking alone is not enough!
When you are basically in survival mode, your body ‘keeps the score’ and needs help to discharge this stuck energy.
Together we will :
… clarify the limiting beliefs, emotions and behaviours that are holding you back …
… get super clear on the life you want for yourself…
… work on the body to release the trauma and pain you have been holding in …
… learn strategies and tools you can use for the rest of your life.
Here is how I help others
By connecting what you feel in your body with how you feel in your mind, Body-Mind Coaching helps you create the transformation you seek. I keep you accountable and help move from STUCK to FLOW.
By providing massage, retreats, workshops and training events, I help organisations and community groups become more creative, productive and happier places to work and live.
Everyone’s needs are different so I work with you to choose the treatment plan that works best. I tailor my holistic massage treatments to suit your own unique needs each time.

Got questions?
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about my services. Please reach out if you have any additional questions, or if you want to discuss a bespoke treatment plan for yourself or your organisation.
You might have experienced a sports massage or a relaxing spa massage or been for treatment with a physio, chiropractor or osteopath. These approaches generally tend to target and treat ‘the problem’ or specific body parts.
But just as our muscles and limbs don’t work in isolation from the rest of our bodies, so we exist as ‘whole’ people – totally interconnected in body, mind and spirit.
My approach, therefore, is tailored-made to work with you as a whole person. Our ‘mental knots’ can often show up as ‘physical knots’ .
My approach gives you the chance to reconnect with your whole self – mind, body and spirit – and reflect on and address worries, anxieties and attitudes that can be very real barriers to recovery.
Massage is useful for regular body maintenance, as a way of managing pain and stress or to address chronic (long-standing) muscular tension and stress-related symptoms.
My full range of holistic services, including massage, Kinesio-Taping, Body-Mind coaching and Reiki, offers many benefits for my clients in Leeds and beyond, including:
- Pain relief
- Reduced stress levels
- Repair and recover from injury
- Increased mobility and range of motion
- Improved mood and relaxation
- Greater clarity, confidence and focus
- Better immune functioning
- Chronic pain
- Repetitive strain injuries
- The effects of depression, anxiety, irritability and poor, restless sleep
- Fatigue, headache and other stress-related conditions
- Fibromyalgia
I talk about the different issues or conditions I typically help with in my website, but the best way to find out what’s right for you is to talk to me. Following your initial consultation, we can agree what type of treatment or programme is right for you.
I also offer strategic support for organisations, facilitate workshops, team development days, and undertake consultancy projects. Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss a project with me.
Yes – I work by appointment, so provided these are booked in advance. Evening appointments are most popular, with the 6.00pm – 8.00pm slots being taken quickly. BUT – it is always worth phoning as I may occasionally have a cancellation or a free slot. Weekend sessions are available on Saturday at 9.00 – 13.00.
My clinic is in Guiseley and I offer a mobile service covering Leeds, Bradford, Ilkley and Harrogate.
I’m happy to offer on-site support at your workplace/organisation. Please connect with me for an initial conversation to discuss your needs.
