  • "I tend to get tension and pain in my back and shoulders due to poor posture from working at a desk all day, and when I do try to stretch it out I'm just not sure of the best way to do it myself. I haven't really had any massages in the past so was unsure of what to expect and wasn't sure if I would be too tense or uncomfortable to get any benefit - however, Alison's services really open up my muscles and leave me feeling refreshed and revitalised every time. She also gives great advice on how to monitor my complaints and what I can do to stretch out the problem areas on my own. I'm not an athlete and don't exercise very regularly, but I'd still recommend Alison's services even if you just feel you need a body MOT or have a small problem you don't want turning into a bigger problem."

  • "Alison has been great at working on my alignment, she is very perceptive on understanding and finding any discomfort and providing advice that helps in the long term. I am very grateful for all the treatment received and have recommended her to all my family and friends!"

    — Danielle, yoga teacher

  • "Alison played a huge role in helping me recover throughout my training for my first marathon. Her treatments brought immediate relief to my aches and pains, and her expert advice on injury prevention, muscle recovery, and long-term running health has been invaluable. She is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in her clients' wellbeing. Every treatment feels tailored to your specific needs, and her caring, inquisitive approach sets her apart. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alison to friends, family, or anyone looking for exceptional therapy and support."

    — Mary, runner

  • "I have complete trust in Alison as a massage therapist and have seen improvements in my ailment (chronic back pain) over time thanks to techniques she advised. After a session my muscles and joints are always relieved of strain which is what keeps me coming back!"

  • "Alison is a respectful, attentive and personable therapist, who is so good at putting people at ease whilst helping them with whatever challenge they are facing. She helped me with my shoulder mobility and breathing, and made me comfortable even though I’m not great with people touching me. Looking forward to using her again."
