'My regular appointments with Rachel are an oasis of calm and allow me to centre and refocus; they have contributed significantly to my physical and mental wellbeing over the last 9 months.' Gill B
'I've been a massage therapist myself for many years and had lots of massage treatments over the years; Rachel's are amongst the best I've had. She provides a deeply calming treatment that leaves me feeling totally relaxed but also refreshed. Her many years' experience mean she has the ability to locate and work on tight spots and knotty areas without me feeling 'pummelled', and she can intuitively locate knots that I didn't even realise I had sometimes! Rachel has the ability to be completely present in her work, which adds a whole new level of healing which reaches the mental, emotional and physical body. Very highly recommended.' Gemma L
'I have been seeing Rachel for many years now, initially for Alexander Technique but now for both massage and facial treatments. However tense, tired and aching I feel when I arrive I always leave feeling refreshed and cared for. Rachel is both a sympathetic and empathetic listener and her massages very thorough and her 'magic hands' seem to always hit the spot. For facials Rachel uses natural and organic products. The only time in recent years I had a facial elsewhere I immediately reacted to the products and realized the love and care Rachel shows in her choice of oils and creams. Rachel always asks how you and your body are and uses this information to give the best treatment possible. I would recommend her to anyone who requires a competent massage or facial given with thoughtful care.' JB
'I've enjoyed seeing Rachel for massage for many years, and I always leave her treatment room feeling relaxed and restored. I walk in with an aching back and tensed shoulders, I walk out feeling relaxed and pain-free. She always enquires about any my overall wellbeing before starting the massage, and is solicitous in ensuring I feel comfortable at all times.' MP
'Rachel is a skilled and empathic practitioner; generous, warm and wise. She listens deeply and brings her considerable experience to bear so that after each treatment I am not only physically more able, but also mentally more confident to build my strength through exercise.' Rose
'Rachel is very warm and caring and shows concern for the whole person. I really appreciate the 'me' time. she is an excellent and very professional masseuse and I always come away feeling relaxed and rejuvenated - physically and mentally. I highly recommend her treatments.' ML
'Rachel's holistic massages are awesome. I went to Rachel hoping for some relief from back pain. Over the last three months, I have progressed significantly, to the point where I am much more sprightly, am listening to my body more, am getting better with my posture by learning the Alexander Technique and somatic exercises and have learned how all our muscles work together. I am also relaxed and happier as I am pain free. Wow, I really cannot recommend Rachel enough, she listens, is intuitive of your body, is kind and enjoys her job. Thank you!' Michelle
'I have known Rachel for about a year and a half now and consider myself extremely lucky to have found her (serendipity played a big part). My visits to Rachel are a part of my life that I wouldn't want to be without. Her professionalism and skill all contribute to my sense of well-being when I leave. In short, hers is the only place where I can truly STOP and connect with my body for at least an hour and this has been so beneficial to me as a full time teacher, mum and busy woman in my forties. I have always had back, shoulder and neck pain on and off for as long as I can remember; computer use/driving/poor posture and stress etc are all contributors, but Rachel's treatment and teaching have helped me enormously, not just to have some relief, but to consider what I am doing, how I am standing, holding myself etc...even when grating cheese!!! Rachel doesn't know how good she is, and that's what I like about her. She is unassuming, thoughtful, caring, knowledgeable, well-practised and has that all-important sense of fun. My whole self is considered, not just a part of me...wonderful. Thanks.' ZW
'I would just like to say Thank You for the fabulous facial yesterday! Your holistic facials are so relaxing (as you know from the numerous times I have fallen asleep!!!). I have also seen a great improvement in the appearance of my skin overall since I started coming to you a few months ago. Thank you once again.' Diane
'So glad I was introduced to Rachel! She is an excellent practitioner and a really kind and caring person. I have been for several massages now and I always feel relaxed and comfortable at the time and great afterwards. Since my first visit I have recommended family, friends and patients to see Rachel; I definitely feel the benefits of the treatments I have received and would recommend her care to anyone.' John F (Chiropractor)
'I started going to Rachel for Alexander Technique lessons many years ago and have in recent years had a regular monthly massage. I know that the advice and treatments I have had with Rachel have helped me maintain a flexible and happier body. Each session is tailored to my needs and the opening conversation/consultation always gives direction to where the treatments can be most beneficial. I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel, her knowledge and holistic approach to massage and related treatments is essential care and maintenance.' EL
'I have a fairly physical job, and started having massage sessions with Rachel to ease stress on my body and also as a way to relax and take time out from full time work and other family pressures. On my first appointment, Rachel asked me to complete a professional medical questionnaire to ensure that she was able to give me the best possible service, and each time since on arrival she has an initial discussion on my overall wellbeing and how I am feeling at that time. I love that Rachel makes each session a personal experience and leads you into the massage by asking you to focus on arriving on the table and unwinding. I also greatly appreciate the calm environment and having quiet time for myself, Rachel is amazing and possesses a healing quality that I have rarely found before. I always feel refreshed and renewed after each session and look forward to the next. I can recommend Rachel 100% and have referred friends and family to her. Thank you Rachel.' Mark
'I have been a client of Rachel's for over 15 years and find her treatments to be extremely relaxing and effective. Rachel is an ultimate professional and takes an interested and caring approach to each client. Rachel is highly experienced and well qualified and is keen that the client gets what they want out of each treatment. I would highly recommend Rachel for facials and massage.' Sally M
'...It was a wonderful experience. Rachel has a truly warm-hearted and kind approach to her work, and I really enjoy the sessions I have with her.' S
'I have been visiting Rachel for treatments for over 15 years and have continued to use her because of her skill, technique and knowledge. Today I have had a facial, my favourite part being the massage which was especially beneficial today as I have had a busy couple of weeks and was feeling rather uptight. My back and shoulders certainly feel less tight. Rachel is always professional and has a wealth of knowledge that I have tapped into over the years. Her prices are competitive and good value for money. I visit her monthly and would go more frequently if time permitted.' PE
'A facial from Rachel is a lovely experience. It's so relaxing, but also up-lifting - it's magic! My face is so soft and smooth, I look and feel at least 10 years younger than I am'. SL
'Rachel has been patient, informative, kind and offers a bespoke service...'. JM
'I arrived for my massage today with a stiff, aching lower back which has been ongoing for a couple of months - and worse during the last week. I generally felt clanky and creaky, and often suffer from a 'tired' back. The massage was a luxurious, warm, deeply relaxing and comforting experience. I now feel like a different person - flexible and supple, with lubricated joints and everything working like a well oiled engine!.' Anita
'Rachel brings years of experience to her work and all her treatments are of the highest standard. Her AT teaching is fun and useful, her organic facials to-die-for and I come away from my massages feeling deeply nurtured and freed-up. Recommend!' PA
