Massage therapy

““I suffer from Meige syndrome which is a form of Dystonia. This means that many of the muscles in my face and neck spasm involuntarily, this is very painful and relentless. Quite by luck I met Paula at a clinic where she was practicing. How lucky was I? Paula is a welcoming, bright, sunny, no-nonsense therapist. She listens carefully, answers your questions and shows interest. She is practical and clearly knows her stuff and enjoys her treatments during which I feel that her focus is totally on me with her knowledgeable massage executed in an empathetic manner. I have benefited hugely from her treatments and afterwards I always feel refreshed and pain free with an inner sense of peace. My husband always remarks on how much better I am after a treatment.”

“I’ve been seeing Paula regularly for hot stone massage for some time now. I find it particularly helps with the neck and shoulder aches I get from sitting at a desk all day and as a runner I appreciate her advice on how to deal with my tight hamstrings and hips as well.”

“I have been seeing Paula for over a year now for regular massage treatments . She has been a true life saver for me, helping me to overcome balance and migraine issues and shoulder damage. Her treatments were the only thing I could do for a long time and her sensitivity and professionalism helped to piece me back together. I would highly recommend her.”

“As someone who has a previous whiplash injury and spends long days at the computer, I often suffer from a tight and painful back, neck and shoulders. Finding Paula was a god send!  I have been to plenty of chiropractors and massage therapists over the years but Paula is hands down the best I’ve experienced.. I regularly have a clinical massage and immediately feel my muscles begin to relax and pain relieved.  It gives my body a total reset with the added benefit of improved posture and a fantastic nights’ sleep after seeing her.  I can’t recommend Paula enough! Thank you.”

“Paula is one of the best body workers I have experienced.  She has depth of knowledge of the body along with intuitive awareness for your sensitivity.  I also felt completely comfortable to ask for what I needed.  I had a terrible crick in my neck which caused prohibited movement and a lot of pain.  Paula expertly released the muscles holding the tension along with muscles I never even knew I had”

“After three amazing massages the tenderness and tension in my hip has eased. I can’t believe the difference. I’m back to running pain free! Thanks Paula”

“After an episode of sciatica, I was left with some pain and stiffness in my lower back with some nerve pain in my leg.  Paula was recommended to me to reduce these symptoms. She carefully listened to my symptoms so that she could target the hot stone massage where it was needed. After a few sessions with Paula I felt that I had increased my flexibility and reduced my pain and stiffness. Visiting once a month really helps my lower back and has reduced my symptoms. Paula is friendly and welcoming whilst ensuring that she listens to what you need and then targets the areas that are causing the symptoms.”

“I am a 68 year old woman with severe neck, arm and shoulder pain. I went to see Paula in the hope that she could help me. I have been having regular (Covid interrupted) massages ever since. Indeed Paula’s targeted massages have really helped me to be relatively pain free as well as helping my general well-being . The exercises she has given me to do at home have really helped keep the work going in between sessions. She is highly professional, empathetic, a great listener and her hands always find the knots to iron out and I come out feeling a different person.”

“I have enjoyed Paula’s hot stone massages, which I cannot recommend highly enough. She skilfully maximises the luxury of the hot stones sinking their gorgeous heat into all the muscles, and it is truly a blissful experience as well as a therapeutic one! These massages have alleviated pain and stiffness in my lower back, shoulders and neck area, and afterwards I truly felt completely reinvigorated and profoundly relaxed at the same time!”

“I suffer from recurring lower back pain and have started seeing Paula for massage therapy. Previously I considered having a massage as a luxury but now I realise it’s a much needed therapy and worth every penny. After 3 visits I am feeling sooo much better and I am moving far more freely now. Paula is great, so lovely and relaxed. Love those hot stones! Can’t wait for my next massage.”

Sophie T

 

“I was recommended by Paula by a friend as I am training for a half marathon and my legs were getting tight and painful.  I went today and it was a wonderful and relaxing experience.  I have never had a hot stone treatment but I thoroughly enjoyed it and my legs feel much better already! Paula is very professional and has a lovely soothing touch.  I am already looking forward to my next massage.”

“Paula has been fantastic over these past 6 months. Having suffered with a painful neck and shoulder for months, She has worked miracles in easing this discomfort. The pain has almost gone completely. I will definitely be continuing with my massages every 4 weeks for the long run. I find the sessions so relaxing. Excellent value too. Thanks so much”

“Just wanted to recommend Paula to anyone in looking for a massage therapist. She has helped me get to grips with my long standing chronic pain. She is very skilled, professional and allows plenty of time to find out what you need from your massage.”

“I highly recommend Paula and have visited her regularly over the past couple of years. The hot stone massage has helped alleviate my many aches and pains. She is very knowledgeable and sensitive to individual needs.  Visiting monthly has been hugely beneficial.”

“I have just had my third massage with Paula and I didn’t want to leave. I had a running injury- very painful calf muscle- and Paula has been working on it for a few weeks now. I no longer have pain in my calf but will still continue to have a regular massage, as I can feel it helping in all parts of my body- and will definitely help during my marathon training in the next few months. Paula is very professional and certainly knows how to relieve muscle tension. 

Fantastic!”

“Have been going to Paula for a few weeks now as I have severe pain in my neck & lower back that also regularly causes me to have headaches & migraines. Paula is brilliant & every week I am able to move more & more. My headaches have decreased too which is amazing!! Thank you Paula! Definitely recommending to all my friends, family & colleagues.”

Online self care

 

“Paula has really helped me with a series of stretches and self-massage for different areas of my body. It has helped to relieve tension and stress from sitting too long at a desk. I can do these at a time that works for me and hopefully will have a long term impact. It has worked really well on Zoom as Paula can show me what to do and then watch what I’m doing and help me make adjustments when needed.”

“After over 5 weeks of working at home and not moving from the chair on most days my back has been playing up, just had a lovely session where Paula gave me some invaluable advice and some good stretches to ease the pain. Was lovely to see you and I look forward to my next session.”

Cara S

 

“I have had two virtual sessions with Paula so far during lockdown and it has helped so much. I’ve had several weeks of pain with a strained upper hamstring and would normally have seen Paula several times for massage. So it was great to know she can give a lot of advice online, together with self massage techniques and stretches. I already did some stretching but with Paula’s advice I understood a lot more about how to treat the whole area more effectively. I would highly recommend having a virtual treatment with Paula whilst we’re still not able to see each other in real life.”

“Paula has really helped with my dodgy Achilles via Zoom consultations over the past couple of months. She has talked me through self massage techniques and stretches, and it’s starting to feel much better. Thanks Paula!”
