Read more "I had suffered with neck, shoulder and nerve pain in my arm for several months. Michele not only resolved the problem but helped me to identify the triggers. Together we found away for me to continue with my sport and music that prevents the injury recurring." "I have suffered from chronic headaches for as long as I can remember, with headaches lasting 2 to 3 days particularly as part of PMS. I was amazed that after just one reflexology treatment with Michele I was headache free for the whole week even though I would normally have suffered during PMS!" "I'd tried several different treatments and therapists over the past 10 years. I had been on patches for several years just to cope with the pain in my neck, lower back and arm. I'd given up hope of ever finding relief. Michele restored my faith and I am now pain free something I didn’t think could happen." "Having suffered on and off with acute and chronic back and neck pain for many years and received various treatments for extensive periods before, it was great to feel improvement after only the first couple of times. Michele didn’t just focus on the session itself but helped me to think through my daily routines identifying triggers." "I hadn’t been able to live an active life for a while due a sporting injury. I had tried a couple of other treatments elsewhere before but had found only a little relief. After only 3 massage sessions I started to resume my interests. I go back now once a month and love my treatments." Massage is not new. Chinese literature from 3000 BC shows massage was considered as one of the key elements for complete health. Hindu writings 1800BC state that massage was used for weight reduction, sleep aid, relaxation and fatigue relief. Massage works directly on the muscular, nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.Read more Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to apply pressure to key points on the body to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative ability. When pressure is applied to these points they release muscular tension, promote the circulation of blood and enhance the body’s life force to aid healing.Read more Aromatic extracts have been used as far back as the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Roman Empire. In the 15th century, Paracelcus, an alchemist and medical doctor focused his studies upon using plants as medicines. The development of essential oils continued gradually. Read more Reflexology is an ancient healing art that dates back to over a thousand years. It has been embraced into many cultures. In India it became a main stream medical therapy and in Germany the study of reflexology is said to be comparable to a medical physician.Read more Treatments are tailored to individual needs, using a combination of Massage, realignment techniques, acupressure, aromatherapy and reflexology.

I found Michele very professional and made me feel comfortable. Seperate entrance from the main house and dedicated private room which I felt was more relaxing and exclusive. Never made me feel rushed and was great at explaining what I needed to do to improve. The massage was very effective and felt much better from the first session. Looking forward to seeing Michele again!

Michelle is an excellent therapist. I was having hip and lower back pain and Michelle quickly diagnosed the issue and gave me suggested stretches to do, as well as providing massage treatment and the issue was resolved. Michelle has also helped me with neck and shoulder pain and general body alignment. Michelle provides a relaxed environment and is quick to put you at ease.

I first visited Michelle about 18 months ago after a referral from my chiropractor, I was experiencing quite severe back pain and discomfort. This was about 6 weeks before a long MTB event - we had been training for about 2 years so there was a lot of pressure to get on the bike again After an initial consultation and treatment there was massive pain relief - and I am happy to say that with the treatments and prescribed stretching I completed the event and the pain has not reoccurred More recently I had to return to Michelle following a slight bike crash - and once again after treatment and rest I am back on the bike again I cannot rate Michelle's treatment highly enough - never pushing for additional and unnecessary appointments - but getting to the core of the issue and working to develop the best results

Michelle is excellent. Spends a lot of time understanding your problems and how they can be remedied via her therapeutic treatment and prevention of recurrence. Lots of exercises are suggested and encouraged! This has helped my chronic back and neck issues more than any other therapy - and I have tried lots!
