About Me
My Way Of Health & Life
My name is Debbie Cutts, I moved to Macclesfield in July 2011. When I first arrived, I worked in a local children’s day nursery on the bank, hoping it would become a full‑time role. When that didn’t happen, I accepted a position in a nursing home in Mobberley. Alongside working full time — often long, demanding hours — I began studying VTCT Level 3 Swedish Massage at Macclesfield College.
My passion for the industry grew quickly, and I continued my training at South Cheshire College, completing VTCT Level 3 and Level 4 Sports Massage, as well as additional courses through various organisations so I could offer a wider range of treatments.
Throughout my life, I’ve worked in many different roles — dog kennels, a cattery, a restaurant kitchen, nursery nursing, care work, and office management. I enjoyed most of them, but none ever felt truly fulfilling. My heart has always been in fitness, health, and helping people feel better in their bodies.
I’ve always been active. I love long runs, gym training, and taking part in a wide variety of classes. More recently, I’ve become increasingly focused on strength and conditioning, which has transformed how I train.
In my early 20s, I sustained a running injury — a severe case of shin splints caused by pushing too hard without building the strength my body needed. I had a race coming up and could barely put weight on my right leg. A physiotherapist confirmed the diagnosis and treated me with deep tissue massage, acupuncture, and strengthening exercises. I recovered in time for my race, and that experience is what first sparked my interest in sports massage and the difference it can make.
I love taking part in races and physical challenges. I’ve completed multiple Race for Life events, the Wilmslow 10K, the full Tough Mudder twice, and the Race At Your Pace 50‑mile challenge. I’ve done countless weekly parkruns and several Deadly Dozen Fitness races, both on the track and in the gym. I’m proud to be involved with the Deadly Dozen community — I’ve judged, head‑judged, and I’m planning to compete in more events in the coming years.
My Training & Proffesional Journey
While working full‑time at the nursing home, I made the decision to return to Macclesfield College in the evenings. Studying alongside shift work and long, unsociable hours was challenging, but I’ve always believed that when you truly want something, you find a way to make it happen.
I knew I wanted to become a Sports Massage Therapist, so I began with VTCT Level 3 Swedish Massage, which was the required foundation for progressing into advanced courses. I also completed Hot Stone Therapy, giving me a strong base to build on.
Before enrolling onto VTCT Level 3 Sports Massage, I discovered a new treatment emerging in the UK — Warm Bamboo Massage. I trained at the Natural Therapy Studio, where I gained diplomas in Warm Bamboo Massage, Indian Head Massage, and even a manicure qualification.
I then continued my professional development at South Cheshire College, completing VTCT Level 3 and Level 4 Sports Massage, as well as VTCT Level 3 Applying Hot and Cold Therapy in Sport and Active Leisure alongside my Level 4.
My training didn’t stop there. I went on to qualify in Pregnancy Massage and Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) through Gateway Workshops in Manchester and Warrington. Wanting to refine my skills even further, I trained at the Lymphoedema Training Academy, which enabled me to join the MLDUK register — a mark of high‑level professional lymphatic training.
I am now fully qualified to a high standard across multiple massage disciplines, and I’m committed to continuing my education. If there’s ever a treatment you’re interested in that I don’t currently offer, please let me know — if enough clients request it, I’m always open to training in new modalities. Learning never stops, and I believe ongoing development is essential for providing the best possible care.
I am fully qualified, insured, and a member of the Sports Therapy Association (STA), Restore Scar Therapy, and MLDUK. You can feel confident knowing you’re in safe, professional hands. I deliver a high standard of treatment and follow strict Codes of Practice and Ethics, ensuring exceptional hygiene, professionalism, and client care.
