A TikTok-famous masseur will be heading to Suffolk next month to link up with a Brightwell businesswoman.
After a career in phlebotomy for the NHS, Donna Wright was ready for a change. She is now the owner of Look Wright Aesthetics, based at Brightwell Barns, offers massages, facials, skin care advice, hair removal services, among many other holistic and beauty treatments.
Donna and her team are now excitedly preparing to welcome Jason Allen all the way from Los Angeles, better known on TikTok as the founder of Leef Massage.
Mr Allen has amassed a huge following on social media for his unique style of massages, and now has over 1.6 million followers on TikTok.

When Donna stumbled across Mr Allen’s Instagram page, she quickly became a fan.
She said: “I became obsessed with watching and trying to replicate his massages before reaching out to him, asking if he would consider coming over, never expecting him to respond let alone agree.
“That was it - we had FaceTime calls, and it was happening.

“He arrives on February 11 and will be with us for training and filming, and he will be taking bookings for massages at Look Wright Aesthetics on February 14.”
Mr Allen said: “I was thrilled at the opportunity. I've been sharing my techniques on social media for a while now, but training in-person has definitely been a goal of mine and I was extremely grateful someone actually believed in me enough to make it happen.”
He continued: “I think what sets my massages apart is the intention behind every aspect of the massage experience. It is a very sensory experience. I use essential oils for scent. Every touch is soft and intentional.
“As for the massage itself, my main goal is relaxation and comfort. Balance is very important. The balance of strong enough techniques to effectively relieve muscle tension and a soft enough touch to provide comfort and relaxation is the basis for a Leef Massage.”
