About

Olive Massage

Established in 2006, Olive Massage is owned and managed by Lucy Cook. Having previously sold a successful massage and beauty salon in Selby, which she had owned for 7 years, Lucy decided that she wanted to specialise in massage therapy in her home town of Wakefield. Very shortly afterwards Lucy opened a second treatment room in Leeds.

Lucy

Founder and Therapist

Lucy’s interest in massage started over 10 years ago. After suffering a whiplash injury she began to suffer from chronic neck and shoulder pain which caused her to have daily tension headaches that began to affect her day to day living. After pursuing many avenues such as visits to doctors, physiotherapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors and osteopaths etc the pain remained, until Lucy discovered deep tissue massage. After her first massage session the pain began to ease almost immediately and after three sessions it was gone altogether. Lucy was so impressed by the benefits of massage that she left her career to train as a massage therapist.

Massage Therapist

Hi I’m Lily, I graduated from Leeds Beckett University in 2023, with a Bsc (hons) in Sport and Exercise Therapy. Since graduating I have worked in sport teams, which strengthened my knowledge on sport injuries and massage. While at university I focused my studies on psychology in sport, investigating the relationship between footballers and mental health. My interest in the gym and rehabilitation made me want to pursue a career within sport therapy.
