Captain Cook, Hippocrates and Julius Ceasar were all huge fans of massage. Here, my clients share how it has not only helped but exceeded expectations.

 

The super active said:

After a very busy summer it was so nice to be able to fully relax for a while! I get very little chance for any time out during the summer months and also try to cram in running, cycling and surfing into any time I do have, so my body really needed some looking after! I have already booked another session!

Such a great massage and a lovely person! Alice is clearly very knowledgeable and really makes you feel relaxed. She was very friendly and warm (her hands too!) and gave a really good consultation beforehand. Helped me with my sore back. Highly recommended!!

Alice has a supremely nourishing and nurturing style, and the hands of an angel! Her attention to detail is amazing and I felt so well cared for. I would recommend her massages to anyone. I will definitely be back!

Review for Holistic Massage with Alice from Jo
 
As a first timer I wasn’t sure what to expect going in but I felt a lot more balanced and calm coming out. Alice was extremely knowledgable and interested in every little detail of historical issues and ailments in order to provide the most appropriate advice. Fully recommend!

They came to relax:

I feel like I’ve been waiting for this type of massage my whole life! It was a whole body/self experience, and I felt I’d been really cared for. Alice really knows her stuff when it comes to physiology, but it’s her energetic intuition and awareness of the mind-body-spirit connection that allows her to tap into something deeper and more healing. Also have to mention that the pressure was what you want every massage to be! I will be making this a regular part of my life from now on.

Fantastic, still feeling the benefits of a truly relaxing massage. Alice really made me feel so comfortable and took time to listen to what I wanted from the session. Great communication and easy booking - lovely room too! I am sure I will be back - thank you Alice.

Alice is a wonderful practitioner. Sensitive, open-hearted, skilful and humble. She has lovely energy, and is highly responsive to requests for different levels of pressure. She’s well trained, knowledgeable and incredibly welcoming and friendly. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Get up onto her massage table as soon as you can!

I have always loved massage and over the years have had experience of numerous massage practitioners: Alice Is definitely up there with the best. When I first had appointments with her she was still training and it was obvious then that she is a “natural”. She seems to put her whole self into the massage and is very carefull to make sure that you are receiving exactly the experience that you want, be it gentle relaxation or a deeper therapeutic massage. I love the fact that even if I am only having head, face and shoulders worked on I feel at the end as though my whole body has been massaged. Magic!!

Treatments for chronic conditions

Came to see Alice today for a hand massage treatment for dupuytrens contracture. I was pleasantly surprised by the relief I had in my hands from a short treatment.
Will be back soon for a second appointment.

Alice put me at ease by talking me through what she was intending to work on. My neck hasn’t felt better in a decade! A great experience, can’t wait for my next session

I had such a lovely massage with Alice, from the beginning she was friendly, respectful and made me feel at home. She made sure to really understand my life, and what I needed from my massage before tailoring it to suit me. The massage was perfect, with communication throughout to ensure I was happy with the pressure and areas she was covering- and Alice used all natural oils which was a bonus! I’ll definitely be returning, and recommending her to all my friends too- those that often pamper themselves and those that forget to. Thanks Alice!

Pregnancy & new mums:

Alice has magic hands! I have a sore neck and back from feeding and carrying a newborn baby. She managed to release the tension and gave me a much needed hour of calm.

I look forward to my next one

I enjoyed a blissful hour-long massage from Alice and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to a friend. Will definitely be going back again!
— Jasmine M
 
An hour of relaxation and calm with a massage with Alice was a blissful experience. Though, it was more than a massage- after the consultation and careful questions from Alice, with her expertise, she realised that I had quite a bit of tension in my neck. The massage helped enormously and I was amazed at the knowledge and help Alice gave afterwards with aftercare and stretching for my neck. I will definitely be a regular as it’s so rare to find someone so passionate and knowledgeable about a wide range of the body and massage techniques. Thank you again!

First massage!

I had never been for a massage before and Alice was fantastic, she made me feel comfortable and informed. Alice answered all my questions before-hand and made me feel very at home. The massage was perfectly tailored to what I requested and I felt refreshed and relaxed for days afterwards. I would highly recommend Alice to anyone, especially someone who could be hesitant or anxious about receiving a massage. I have already recommended a friend and will be returning again soon myself!
Thank you Alice!

Alice was fantastic. She listened to all my needs and gave me a really relaxing and focused massage. It was exactly what I needed. Her place has a really relaxing atmosphere, a great experience!

As a keen runner/cyclist - aged 70 and exercising eight hours per week for fun and health - I was aware that massage is useful for dealing with muscle soreness and routine strains and niggles. During my first appointment with Alice, however, I realised how much more there is to massage, especially a wonderful feeling of general “well-being”. As Alice worked intensively on some well-used muscles and gently on others, I felt the day’s hassles and stress evaporating! On returning home, I realised that Alice had also released tension from my neck, restoring some lost mobility. My second visit confirmed the benefits of Alice’s holistic massage and I shall return regularly for ninety minutes of rejuvenation of body and mind.
