Meet Karla and the Kneads Team

---

As a dedicated member of the Kneads team, I’ve been working in the fitness and wellness industry for over 13 years, teaching Pole Fitness, Strength & Conditioning, Flexibility, and providing massage therapy. With extensive experience in sports injuries, I’m passionate about helping people recover, perform at their best, and feel great in their bodies. I trained at St Mary’s University, Twickenham, and combine this knowledge with my own experience in pole fitness, yoga, and regular training at the gym. I understand firsthand the frustration that injuries, niggles, or tension can cause—both in your training and everyday life. Alongside my clinical work, I have volunteered with the local food bank since 2020, including serving as Treasurer, supporting both the day-to-day operations and financial oversight of an essential community service. My qualifications include: ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Clinical Sports Massage, Certified Hijama (Dry Cupping) Therapist, Certified Pregnancy Massage Therapist, Certified Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist (FRCms), Certified Stretching & Flexibility Coach, Level 3 Personal Trainer, Certified Pole Dance Instructor, and I am a member of the SMA (Association for Soft Tissue Therapists). I’m fully insured. Whatever your goals or needs, feel free to get in touch—I’m always happy to chat and answer any questions.

With a love of muddy puddles, car rides, and belly rubs, Tato isn’t just any dog—he’s a beloved member of the Kneads team! His wagging tail and gentle nature bring joy and comfort to everyone who walks through our doors, including fitness and wellness professionals.🐾 Role at the Clinic: As our official therapy dog, Tato is here to offer cuddles, smiles, and unconditional love. Whether you’re visiting for massage therapy or just popping by for a friendly face, Tato is always ready to brighten your day!
