As an ex-professional athlete, I have had a lot of sports type massage over the years and I have high expectations. Lorena is an outstanding therapist, the massage she gives is physiologically well informed and effective. She’s also a very warm person and good company. Highly recommended.

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!

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.
Ian Merchant 11.09.2017
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.
If you need a treat, a pick-me-up or pain/discomfort sorting out, this is just the place to come.
Damian N. 14.11.2016
Listened to my concerns and tailored a session to my needs, explaining the muscle groups that would need to be concentrated on and why.

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.
D. Senior 15.04.2015
Received a leaflet, phoned up within an hour and booked a treatment for the same day.
Great service, even greater massage. One of the best I have had.
I will be making return visits to see Lorena.
S. Catch 08.04.15
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. One of these, oh so rare! massages that your needy body and brain are grateful for. One that will make you look forward to the next. One that will make you forgo ‘wishy-washy’ forever. Claire

Hi Lorena, I hope you’re well and had a great Easter. Thanks so much again for an awesome massage a couple of weeks’ ago – it was exactly what I needed – you are a true healer.
