Thaisa Uchoas
Founder of The Massage Space, her passion lies in empowering her clients to better understand their bodies and the healing power of massage therapy. She took the leap from her corporate job as a recruitment manager to pursue her passion in 2022, after retraining as a massage therapist during her 2021 maternity leave. With much determination, Thaisa has since expanded her expertise to include sports massage, pregnancy/post-natal massage, deep tissue techniques, and manual lymphatic drainage and works with clients in Canary Wharf and nearby areas.
Thaisa co-founded the Canary Wharf Female Entrepreneurs Network group with Ilona in August of last year, after just a few months of having met each other in a local group and realising the potential they had to support other women too.
