Testimonials

“I asked a week or so ago for massage recommendations. Most of you recommended Helen Martin. I had a massage with her today and it was AH-MAZING!!!! And I am pretty sure she somehow lowered my shoulders too. If you are looking for someone to book, book Helen! I can’t wait to book another one!”

-Laura (June 2016)

“I saw Helen when I put my back out – it was way too painful for traditional massage or manipulation – but with Helen’s gentle touch through Bowen therapy I was able to heal and was back on my feet in no time! Highly recommend Helen for Bowen therapy or massage, she really knows her stuff.”
-Tammy (May 2016)

“I have been to Helen for a few different things, tingling in arm, neck and shoulders and hamstrings. One session only on the arm was needed and I have’nt needed to go back for anything. This is the beauty of this, you are not meant to go back! You get treated. Helen runs a professional business in her home and makes you feel comfortable. She is very knowledgeable and will go that extra mile by giving you posture tips and stretches to take away with you.”
– Karen (May 2016)

“I had back and neck issues due to having a very poor posture causing me to have severe head aches. My beautiful wife bought me a one hour back / neck massage with Helen and it was fantastic. Not only did she work all the knots out but gave me a few exercises to do to improve my posture. I have since been back a second time and it was just as good if not better. Reasonably priced for very thorough massage. Highly recommend A++++++.”
– Guy (April 2016)

“I have had facet joint pain in my back for years. it comes and goes and when it’s bad I’ve used physiotherapy and chiropractic, but having used Helen’s service with Bowen therapy, I can highly recommend the treatment, as I have not had any trouble with my back since seeing her. It is worth trying this alternative therapy.”
