About Us

The founder of Hove Hands, Chris Jepson, is a multi-talented creative whose journey has spanned the worlds of dance, graphic design and photography, now bringing those rich life experiences into the healing practice of massage therapy.

A former dancer in the UK and abroad, Chris understands the profound connection between movement, the body and well-being. His work as a designer and photographer honed his eye for detail, balance and human connection—qualities that now shape his intuitive, inclusive approach to massage.

Chris is committed to providing a welcoming and safe space and firmly believes massage is for everyone. His practice blends creativity, compassion and technical skill to help clients relieve stress, recover from injuries and reconnect with themselves.

With Chris, massage isn’t just treatment—it’s an experience rooted in respect, empowerment and care.

Chris is a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists and verified partner of Proud Wellness.
