Send us a text

Roy, hailing from London, is the founder of The Wandering Masseur, a venture born after he left a decade-long career as a chef. Realizing that the seeds he had sown in the culinary world had more potential to grow elsewhere, Roy embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

The Wandering Masseur offers Sports and Thai Yoga Massage, drawing on nearly ten years of Roy’s own inner work and healing journey with Reiki. As a Reiki Master, he also teaches various levels of this practice. Teaching comes naturally to Roy.

He has a unique ability to translate complex, often unfathomable concepts into language that anyone can grasp, regardless of their spiritual background.

His life experiences, from battling addiction and coping with the loss of close friends to drugs and alcohol, to healing deep depression and suicidal tendencies, have shaped him into the person he is today. With eight years of sobriety, a daily practice in Taoism, and a profound inner stillness, Roy is a beacon of groundedness and resilience.

Recently returning from Thailand and a series of transformative one-on-one medicinal sessions, Roy continues to unfold his truth and live his soul’s mission.

By sharing his stories and blending analytical and spiritual approaches, he creates a safe, grounded space for others to begin their own healing journeys.

Roy understands the importance of balancing the inner feminine and masculine energies and combines techniques that allow these forces to be expressed in a divine and authentic way.

How does one break free from the chains of addiction and transform their life? Meet Roy, who, at just 22, found himself caught in a whirlwind of toxic relationships, substance abuse, and overbearing work stress. Roy's journey is nothing short of inspiring, as he turned to energy work, timeline therapy, and neurolinguistic programming to reclaim his life. By embracing somatic practices like dance, Qi Gong, and tai chi, Roy achieved a delicate balance between spiritual and humanistic growth, emphasizing the crucial role of authentic communication and grounding.

In our heartfelt conversation about vulnerability and emotional health, Roy discusses the transformative effects of celibacy and tantric practices in fostering deeper connections. He delves into the qualities that make a healthy man, the importance of setting clear boundaries, and the significance of creating safe spaces for emotional expression. Growing up in a Syrian family that discouraged emotional vulnerability, Roy's journey through healing masculine guilt and shame offers profound insights for anyone seeking emotional freedom and personal growth. Finally, he shares his expertise in holistic healing practices like Thai massage, Reiki, and NLP, demonstrating his commitment to personalized care and well-being. Join us as Roy's story unfolds, offering a roadmap to inner peace and resilience.
