About Cristina

Cristina Iatcu, Massage Therapist

How I work

I am Cristina Iatcu, a massage therapist based in Harrow, north west London, with between three and five years of experience in practice.

Deep tissue and therapeutic massage are the heart of my work. Most people come to me carrying something specific — a shoulder that has not been right for months, a lower back that tightens by the end of the week, legs that feel heavy after training. I listen first, work methodically, and check in on pressure as we go rather than assuming that harder is better.

My approach is unhurried. I would rather do thorough work on two areas than rush across the whole body, and I will always tell you honestly if I think something is outside what massage can help with.

The private therapy room in Harrow where sessions take place

The therapy room

I work from a private therapy room at my home in Harrow. It is a quiet, warm and clean space set up for treatment only, with a professional couch, fresh towels for every client, and no rush between appointments. Clients come to me — I do not offer visits to homes or workplaces.

Sessions take place in a private therapy room at Cristina's home in Harrow. Clients come to her. The full address is shared when your appointment is confirmed.

Your health and safety

Please talk to me before booking if you have a health condition, so we can decide together whether massage is right for you at the moment.

For any serious or persistent problem, please see your GP or a doctor. Massage supports how you feel, but it is not medical treatment or diagnosis.

Please contact me first if you have had

  • Recent surgery
  • A recent injury
  • An acute illness, fever or infection
  • A skin infection or broken skin in the area

None of these automatically mean no — they simply mean we should talk before you book.

Ready when you are

Booking is by WhatsApp or phone. Send a message with what is bothering you and we will arrange a time.
