What my clients say…

TESTIMONIAL’S

Your healing hands do not only touch the body yet they massage the Soul. Your approach is so unique and exactly adapted to what the person needs to receive. Each treatment is unique. Your capacity to listen to the body and get out of the way are phenomenal. Someone who touches without an agenda yet with an open neutral attitude is paramount in allowing the multi layered body to reveal what it is ready to reveal. You were a gift to both retreat groups and your healing touch supported them in processing what was coming up and out during the retreat sessions and increased the inner sensitivity and awareness of the participants. Whatever Sadhana we do, it has to go through the body, it has to be embodied and integrated on all levels of the yogic body: body, mind, heart and Soul. I’m looking forward having you on the team again next year.

I happily travel significant distances to see Melanie, our sessions are profound and Melanie’s ability to lead the body into releasing associated emotional blockages is incredible and inspiring. I am learning lot’s !

I have been seeing Melanie for the past 5 years whenever my body is struggling …I suffered from inflammation of the joints and general exhaustion, Her treatments are always so
supportive and reassuring and she put’s me back on track with advice on diet and self care on many levels. I leave with a confident spring in my step !
Joanne Black.

After seeing Melanie twice my neck pain had reduced to the best it had been for at least 2 years, the following sessions continued to reduce my discomfort until I felt able to maintain alignment with the help of a sequence of stretches and strengthening exercises she gave me for maintenance,
which are perfect for self-help, I fully recommend her.
Helen Bishop.

As effective as Melanie is as a therapist, i.e. always relieving my tension, and providing wise words of inner care,  she is also generous. Her treatments are a full hour and a half of absolute care and attention, I would always recommend her.
Ainé McCarthy.

Melanie has a real talent for listening to what the body/soul needs . She is also really patient, allowing the body to release and teaching breathing and relaxation/trust techniques, I feel always very calm after her treatments. Having suffered abuse on different levels throughout my childhood it was not easy for me even to decide to go looking for help, I would highly recommend Melanie’s treatments, I’ve seen her periodically  over the past 4 years and feel fully supported and confident that my life is back in my own two hands.

After suffering whiplash from a car accident I started to get treatments from Melanie, Her massage is deep and gentle, which is necessary after a trauma injury. I found her stretching sequences particularly effective in my shoulder/neck area when other treatments had failed to make a significant difference.
Matt Mills.

The deep tissue massage I had with Melanie helped release my neck problem more than any other treatment I’ve had in the last 3 yrs. My body felt amazing for days after and my neck is still improved 6 weeks later. I was so impressed I went back for a Thai massage, which was completely different, very interactive, but just as effective. They were both thoroughly enjoyable experiences that I can highly recommend.

After twenty years of back problems, I have tried many different methods and treatments in order to try and fix the problem. Since I started to get treatment from Melanie my back has never been better. Her approach is knowledgeable gentle and firm at the same time. I really can’t praise her enough.

I arrive at Melanie’s physically drained and with pain but a result of her full attention, energy and positivity, and a customised treatment for my back and neck issues, I always leave physically relieved and realigned… I couldn’t get through the summer without her…
Andy Jolly Owner, Owner, of Barley Cove Surf School 

Melanie’s massage is deeply therapeutic, thorough, and relaxing. She has a wide range of body work skills and experience which come together in a unique and rare mix of sensitivity and strength. I whole heartedly recommend a treatment.
Sally Elsbury,  Massage Practitioner.

It was deeply relaxing as you massaged away all the tensions in my mind and body, stetching and alining my spine and reawakening my whole system, you found spots that where deeply blocked and with loving care released them allowing me to let them go. Thank you so much.
