Diana D'Alessio

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 and representing brands including Titleist, Callaway and Vtech.

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 has opened a private massage therapy studio at home.

"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."

She is also a breast cancer survivor. She is the secretary of Hovingham Tennis Club and plays at David Lloyd York. She cares deeply about the people she treats.

What to expect

Every session begins with a proper conversation. Diana wants to understand what is bothering you, how long it has been going on, and what you have already tried. She is not in a rush.

Treatment is hands-on, targeted and informed by 30 years of understanding bodies under pressure — from elite sport to everyday life. Where helpful, Diana will also give you simple exercises to support your recovery between sessions.

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.

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. She was sponsored by Titleist, Callaway and Vtech Communications.

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.
