Diana's story

An American
who chose
Yorkshire.

Diana D'Alessio grew up in the United States and spent 15 years as a professional golfer on the LPGA Tour and European Tour, competing in 12 countries. That career gave her a deep, practical understanding of the body — how it performs, how it recovers, and what it needs when things go wrong.

In 2019, she moved to North Yorkshire. Not temporarily. She came, fell in love with the place, and settled. In April 2026 she moved to Ampleforth itself, where she works from a professional home studio offering personalised treatments focused on relaxation, recovery and overall wellbeing.

"I've had surgery on my shoulder, both knees and my hip. I know exactly what it feels like when your body lets you down — and what it takes to get it back. That's why I retrained as a massage therapist. I genuinely love this work and I love this community."

Diana is also a breast cancer survivor — a journey that has profoundly shaped her perspective on health, resilience and looking after both body and mind. She has a particular passion for supporting clients through different stages of life, including around menopause and the changes it brings.

The session

What to expect

Every session begins with a detailed consultation. Diana takes time to understand what is bothering you, how long it has been going on, and what you want from your treatment. Her approach is calm, supportive and entirely client-focused — creating a safe space where you feel listened to and cared for.

Treatment is hands-on and personalised, informed by 30 years of understanding bodies under pressure — from elite sport to everyday life. Her aim is to help you feel better, move freely, and take time to invest in your own wellbeing. Where helpful, Diana will also provide simple exercises to support your recovery between sessions.

What people say

In their own words

“

I had been dealing with a frozen shoulder for months. I had tried everything and was starting to think it would never improve. After one session with Diana — and the exercises she showed me to do at home — I finally started to feel a difference. It is genuinely getting better. I cannot recommend her enough.

Frozen shoulder
“

As an amputee, circulation is something I have to think about every day. Diana's soft tissue massage has made a real difference — I feel the improvement in my circulation after every session. She is thoughtful, knowledgeable and genuinely understands what my body needs. I wish I had found her sooner.

“

I had never had a full body massage before and honestly wasn't sure what to expect. Diana immediately put me at ease — she was warm, reassuring and completely professional. By the end of the session I was so deeply relaxed I barely wanted to move. It was genuinely one of the most restorative hours I have had in years. I will absolutely be going back.

“

I had an amazing massage experience that left me feeling deeply relaxed. Before starting, Diana took me through a detailed questionnaire to understand my needs, any problem areas, and what I wanted from the session. During the massage, Diana checked in regularly to make sure the pressure was exactly right for me. Her attention to detail and calm, focused approach made the whole session feel personalised and thoughtful.

Background

Where Diana
comes from.

Before settling in North Yorkshire, Diana D'Alessio was a professional touring golfer. She competed on the LPGA Tour and European Tour from 2000, playing in tournaments across 12 countries, and was sponsored by Titleist, Callaway and Vtech Communications. In recognition of her career, she was inducted into the Kent Place School Athletic Hall of Fame.

During her career she also had surgery on her shoulder, both knees and her hip, and spent years in physiotherapy. That experience is not incidental — it is the foundation of everything she does now as a therapist.
