Welcome to Story Hands Massage
Who I am
Hello, I am Nicolle Mitchell, holistic massage practitioner, teacher, author and therapeutic mum.
Nurturing touch
I am passionate about using nurturing touch in creative ways to connect, resolve, play & heal.
Massage for health
I have been massaging people from new born babies to people aged over 100 since 1998.
What I Do
I have a practice near Redruth, Cornwall and visit people in their own homes if they cannot attend my clinic.
Story Hands Massage is a wonderful way to combine my passion for massage, story-telling and creative writing to improve mental, physical, emotional & social health.
I love to share this powerful skill with individuals and organisations in my community and across the UK. I write massage stories which address issues such as loss, attachment and bullying which are a great resource to discuss resolution and restoration.

“Great conference today with fantastic workshops. First time I’ve ever attended anything like this and it was great to meet so many lovely kind and friendly people. The story massage went down amazingly well with my boys this evening and created a very calm and peaceful bedtime – huge hit. Can’t wait to start using more of what I learnt today, feeling very positive. Thank you x” CH

“Our children have really enjoyed the visits from Story Hands Massage. Nicolle is calm & patient with the children & has helped them to engage & participate.
The main areas we have noticed an impact in is personal, social & emotional development.
Story Hands has supported peer communication & making friendships.”
Tracy Murton, manager
I was very surprised at how some of children reacted to the sessions, we observed quiet children engaging sometimes unexpectedly. During the sessions we noticed that a ‘calm’ atmosphere surrounded the children, most unusual and very welcome in a busy pre-school setting.
I feel it is extremely important that children grow up with respect for one another but not being afraid to touch another person which, after all is a very ‘human’ thing to do.
I can’t recommend Nicolle highly enough she is very professional and brilliant at what she does and the children in our setting loved her. Have a go at story massage you won’t regret it and your children will gain so much from it.
