Yoga and Massage by Fatima


About Fatima Serhir
Fatima was born in South-West of France, in the middle of vineyards and walnut trees fields.
Her parents came from a tribe in North-East of Morocco. Her mother taught her some of the health secrets learnt from their ancestors, through herbs, spices, and the power of touch. Amongst those secrets, her mother also taught her a few head massage moves to relieve headache and a few back and belly massages techniques to soothe stomachache caused by anxiety. From a young age, Fatima’s hands experienced the strong healing power of touch.
Whilst working in digital marketing in London, Fatima explored yoga as a tool to give her body the movement it needed and her mind the rest it desired. As one of her yoga teachers says, ‘’move your body to quiet the mind’’, which is also one of the mottos she preaches. She took her 200 hours Kundalini Yoga training certification from the Karam Kriya school in 2019 with an emphasis on meditation. In 2023, after a retreat in Purple Valley in Goa and years of a daily MySore Ashtanga practice, she took the 40hours Ashtanga Training in Paris with David Swenson.
Simultaneously, her interest in massage was the springboard for different massage trainings. In 2021, she completed a Holistic Massage Training at City Lit in London. In 2022-2023, she furthered her skills with Deep Tissue Massage Training, Table Thai Massage and Reflexology at the London School of Massage.
After a very painful sciatica episode which impacted her physically and mentally, Fatima deepened her knowledge and expertise in both yoga and massages. As she experienced deeper the need for connection between body and mind in her own life, she felt inspired to learn more about the science behind it more techniques to help her clients experience the connection between body and soul. In 2024, she expanded her yoga knowledge by taking a Yin Yoga course in order to hone techniques for further activating the parasympathetic nervous system. In February 2025, she took a training in Yoga Fusion, a combination of yoga moves and traditionnal floor Thai massage. Fatima has been working as a massage therapist since 2023 at the Wellington Centre in Hastings and at various locations in London.
Fatima believes that being healthy and achieving wellbeing has to be realistic. In a world of hyperinformation and hyperInstagramisation, she also thinks that wellbeing and healthy habits can (and have to be!) simple. Far from believing into the magic fix, Fatima's perspective is we need to be accountable to ourselves to build a life around the six pillars of health: diet, sleep, exercise, water intake, stress management and deep connections. While sometimes outside support is needed, Fatima strongly believes that as we navigate life, we can design our own toolbox, so that we can be happy, healthy and whole.
Fatima invites working together on the path of restoring balance and harmony to nurture mind, body and soul!
