Amy James

Amy was fantastic. The atmosphere she thoughtfully created was calm and soothing. She checked in with me before, during and after to understand how I was feeling, what my past experiences have been, what my preference in style and pressure is, etc. She then used my feedback to deliver an incredibly high quality massage. The pressure was strong (as I prefer) with some light touches throughout to relieve some of that pressure as needed. I was really impressed with the entire experience and — more importantly — I felt much better physically afterwards.

Thank you, Amy!

Amy was very professional in the set up of the massage. She asked clear, easy to understand questions and listened attentively to my answers. We decided on a method for a 45 minute full body massage, with focus on my neck, shoulders and back, where I’ve always had a lot of tension and pain. She then moved to my legs, finding more tension than expected (by me) and so spent some time on my calf muscles especially. At the end of the practice I felt relaxed and limber, and she allowed me to get up slowly, bringing me water and giving me plenty of time to get dressed. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I look forward to my next appointment. She did try some new techniques on my (hitting) that perhaps weren’t yet perfected and at times felt a bit strange, but the pressure she applied during the massage in comparison felt amazing even when it hurt a little because I had knots etc. Amy creates a calm and relaxing environment, and uses her whole body to apply the right amount of pressure to the necessary places. I feel very lucky to have been treated by her, she will make a wonderful masseuse!!

This was my first massage, so I didn't know what to expect. The consultation was very informative. Next time, rather than using the consultation to get my bearings, I really look forward to using that time to better communicate what I want to get out of the massage session.

I often have a busy brain, and wonder what's happening, why, and what's going to happen next. The diffuser and the music helped drown out some of that noise from the get go, which was great.

I found it difficult to get used to the headrest at first, and I wasn't sure if I was allowed to move, but Amy was so calm and patient that I settled quickly.

The massage was really well paced, I thought, and the order of attention to different areas flowed well. It felt really good, very relaxing.

Every now any then Amy's shirt brushed over, or settled on my back or side, and it snapped me out of my uber-relaxed state a little bit. I didn't take long to get back into the happy place, but could be avoided. Likewise the open and close snap of the bottle, and the bottle being dropped back down between my legs. These are very small criticisms - it was such a lovely experience, I feel daft mentioning them.

A really enjoyable relaxing massage. Amy made me feel comfortable and was very attentive throughout the pre consultation and massage. I felt very relaxed during the massage and muscles felt so much better after and the next day after. Highly recommended.

Amy was very friendly during the consultation, the massage was fab. Very relaxed before, during and after.
