Thank You, Truly Transformative! I just wanted to say a huge thank you and to let you know how genuinely wonderful my experience at Life Massage has been. I first came to you simply looking for relaxation... read more and a nervous system reset — and from that very first session, the sense of release was incredible. Tension that I’d been carrying for years (particularly in my neck and shoulders) softened in a way I hadn’t managed to achieve through stretching or other massages. The reduction in pain alone felt like a small miracle. Then, shortly after my first visit, I unfortunately sprained my ankle in a dance class, largely due to long-standing tightness in my Achilles. Over the past few weeks, your work has made an enormous difference. You’ve helped my muscles relax, restored mobility in my feet, and kept my body feeling aligned and supported. What’s remarkable is that, for the first time in a long time, I’m not walking around with a constantly aching body. Despite being “meant” to be in a boot and on crutches for weeks, I’m far more mobile than I would have expected — which is truly a testament to your skill and care. There’s something in the way you work that’s hard to put into words, but it’s deeply effective. I’m no longer carrying that familiar tightness through my neck and shoulders, and the light therapy has been a wonderful additional support to the whole experience. I now genuinely look forward to my sessions and see them as an essential part of my ongoing wellbeing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone!

A. Martin 17.03.2019
I’ve been to see Lorena on several occasions now and she has done a truly amazing job of easing some intense RSI pain through remedial massage. I walk in barely able to move my arm but leave significantly looser and more comfortable. Lorena always checks how I’m feeling at the end of the session and makes final adjustments to ensure I leave with the pain and tension released as much as possible. She also explains what she’s doing – which muscles she’s working on, how they are connected and why they have got damaged, as well as finishing each session with some suggestions of how I can help myself through simple movements at home, something which is so helpful but which I’ve not come across before.
Lorena is a delightful person, so warm, easy and welcoming while also being very thorough, caring and professional. Her commitment to understanding your needs, not only in each individual session but also building this across multiple sessions and checking back on how things have progressed is outstanding. I can’t recommend her highly enough and am so glad I found her!
S. Harris 07.12.2018
Lorena is magic, she sorted my neck injury out in just one session. Before the session she took the time to ask about my injuries, body, lifestyle and general well-being which I found very comforting because she really listened. She is extremely knowledgable, experienced and calming. I’ve already booked in my next appointment.
H. Klenk 01.10.2018
Lorena’s upbeat personality is infectious. Her strong and experienced hands knead away injury and tension leaving me relaxed and refreshed.
A wonderful experience – to be revisited! Book yours!
Tanga O-T 13.05.2018
Very relaxing massage. I felt refreshed after the session. In this category, I mean this type of massage (oils mixtures, pressure points gently pressed upon… but the muscles not forgotten). I have asked for a stress relief, relaxing massage. I got all that and a sensual (not sexual) “melting” experience.
A. Kallo 29.04.2018
Lorena is very skilled and knowledgeable. She sorted out my shoulder problems in a few short sessions. She really knows what she is doing.
Matthew Rynne 29.01.2018
Simply Fantastic!!! Lorena has magical hands. As a budding sport man and “gym rat” I have had many ailments from lower back pain to tennis elbow. Lorena works her magic every time leaving me pain free and invigorated. I highly recommend her. Simply the best service, warm, friendly and professional.

Lorena is fantastic – she has such a warm and welcoming energy, she really tunes in to how you’re feeling, and has wonderful intuition in flexing her style to your needs on any day.

Subject: Great Massage
Lorena gave me an awesome massage and I can thoroughly recommend her. She found the issues I had without even having to direct her and worked on those to alleviate the pain I was experiencing. I will be visiting regularly to keep on top of these problems.
Stuart McC 02.02.2016
I visited Lorena because at 34 weeks pregnant I had terrible lower back pain. It was my first pregnancy massage and I was a bit nervous about doing anything that might disturb baby or trigger labour! However, Lorena put my mind at rest by explaining all the oils she was using and movements during the massage. The massage itself targeted the pain very specifically, and I definitely felt gradual pain relief over the following 3-4 days. As a bonus, Lorena gave me the remainder of the unused oil to take away and use at home which was lovely.
H. Radcliffe 21.04.2015
Lorena was great, clearly very experienced and got straight to my problem areas and focused on resolving them.
Thanks, looking forward to my 2nd session.

Defenitevely not one of those ‘wishy-washy’ massages that body and brain forget as soon as through the door. Expect to be questioned, probed and properly treated.
