    I have been amazed by the power of massage having received massage myself for back pain. I have become more and more interested in how the body works and in health and wellbeing, the longer I have trained in martial arts. I know that I am learning this ancient art of massage therapy in a lot of depth and I am in the best place to learn this at Bodyology. I look forward to learning lots and practicing on a wide range of people, helping them to feel healthier, looser, and definitely more relaxed!

      Catherine's massage was an absolute delight. She took the time to ask me questions about my health and my expectations and after the massage I felt very relaxed.
      I often have muscle pains in the neck and shoulders area and the lower back, but Catherine applied the right amount of pressure when needed and the pain disappeared.
      I very much look forward to another massage with Catherine!

      Had a wonderful back and neck massage with Catherine. Loosening all my knots with just the right pressure. Made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend. Will be booking again.

      Wonderful, magic hands!
      Catherine gave me a back neck & shoulders massage yesterday. I loved her soft sinewy stroking hands which delve into the knots but glide over the muscles.
      Marvellous. Thanks v much.

      Lovely setting and arrangement which was very relaxing. Catherine was very attentive ensuring the experience was tailored to my needs, both through the consultation beforehand and throughout the massage itself. Catherine was very alert always ensuring the pressure was correct and knowing exactly where muscles were tight before i really knew or cared to admit myself! Catherine also showed excellent knowledge of anatomy helping me understand how everything connects and why certain muscles were tight if they were painful elsewhere. For the level of training received so far, Catherine's technique was very good - I look forward to seeing how she improves with further training on manipulations and similar in the future. 8 stars simply because as she is in early stages of training and I would have liked a bit more manipulations/advanced technique on certain tight muscle areas.

      I had a great experience with Catherine. She made me feel very at ease and she was extremely professional and sensitive to my needs. She asked me about particular areas that I wanted her to focus on and paid special attention to these. She spent a great deal of time using different techniques on my neck and shoulders, which was very relaxing and also helped to relieve a lot of tension. She also made sure that she double checked that the pressure of the massage was okay and I didn't feel that this was excessive at all, but at exactly the right points in the massage as I've had massages in the past where the therapist has not asked. I really enjoyed the technique that she used to massage down the sides of my torso and lower back and she seemed to have a great understanding of how the muscles work. When I asked her about what the massage actually does, she gave a very informative explanation of how massage encourages new blood into the muscles. I have never been told this before, so it was great that she had this level of knowledge. I would definitely visit Catherine again and I would be keen to see how her massage technique develops further, as she continues to learn more.

      Thank you Catherine.
