...who & about
Gideon is a strong, caring, passionate bodyworker, artist and performer with over two decades wide-ranging training, qualifications and experience in these fields.
Fully Insured and Certified member of International Institute of Complementary Therapists (IICT)
Heel & Loom draws from a broad-range of mind-body and somatic knowledges and lineages, adding flesh to the networks between healing & wellbeing, art & performance, dance & theatre, spirituality & science.
At the Heel is straight-up blissful, therapeutic massage & bodywork supported by intuition, sensitivity & rigorous training.
In the Loom is a world of possibility & exploration harnessing the healing power of art - the most ancient form of healing.
The art of the body. Healing is an art & a practice.
Centering what industrial medicine has subverted and what modern medicine is just now recalling - Heel & Loom holds space for you, and your body's natural knowledge, to claim your own health-agency.
This is a space of trust, presence - where you can be free to feel, let go, play, cry & question.
This place can be a spa or a stage. Clinical, normal, quirky or queer (in all the many ways you are) .
This is work where physiology, emotion, and artistry converge.
Come practice with me. You are invited to be a client or an audience member…or something in between.
Allow yourself to receive the benefits of the techniques I’ve been hunting & gathering - in full agency of your healing & your meaning.
Choose from the above menu of modalities for particular experiences & mind/body requirements or bespoke fusions can be created, tailored to your needs.
All bodies, backgrounds and identities welcomed.
Full discretion & confidentiality assured.
All questions welcome. Feel free to enquire.
Everything is adapted to your comfort.
Holding space with respect, care, non-judgement and professional presence.

“What a magical experience. I feel like I’m on a cloud” David B.
"My massage with Gideon was pure bliss. I have been having Ka Huna massages for many years and am happy to say he is the best!" Annika P-W
"You totally need a massage and to be taken deeeeep into relaxation with Gideon's extraordinary skills - intuitive, focused, strong and yet gentle. I could feel the energy coming through his hands before he even touched me and I am not ashamed to tell you that I literally drooled." Simon P
"Wow! that's what it feels like to be completely relaxed. It's been a long time. It feels like "I've just come of the beach in Hawaii, and... oh...., I might just have a little siesta." without the plane fares and accommodation bill. And that's coming from someone who's had their fair share of massages" Sam W
Heel & Loom House rests and listens deep on Gadigal Land.
Always was, always will be…
"I am the Earth And the Earth is me. Each blade of grass, Each honey tree, Each bit of mud, And stick and stone Is blood and muscle, Skin and bone" Jane Yolen
"So good to have a space where I can feel free to cry" Lili B.
