"I have had a few massages and this was one of the best. Excellent pressure variation and Vanessa responded immediately when I was ticklish. Very, very good massage, thank you."
Rachel - primary school teacher
"Very attentive and conscientious, I felt very comfortable with her."
Hester - theatre practitioner
"Vanessa is very intuitive and has a good instinct. She finds tension without me having to say and finds muscles that I hadn't realised were tense. Absolutely fabulous!"
Serena - office manager
"From the moment I met Vanessa, she was nothing but friendly and professional. I'd recently sprained my shoulder so was cautious, but with Vanessa's communication I felt at ease."
Rob - office administrator
"I have really enjoyed this weekly time out, time that is just for me. My anxiety is now long gone and I'm getting very excited about meeting our little one."
Jane - chef
"The sessions are lovely and relaxing and I really enjoy feeling my baby moving during them too."
Victoria - office administrator
"The treatments have been of great benefit to me and I'm amazed at the changes that have taken place. I feel a lot calmer and relaxed, something that my family have also commented on. Plus I'm sleeping better and feel more settled about sleep in general. I'm very keen to continue having reflexology in the future and will be recommending this approach to friends as well."
Maggie - school laboratory assistant
"I had been experiencing increasingly severe menopausal symptoms which were starting to really impact on my life and well-being and I was considering visiting my GP, when a friend mentioned Vanessa to me in conversation. I was slightly sceptical as to whether massaging my feet would actually make any difference, but I decided that I had nothing to lose by giving it a try.
I have now completed the six sessions and I am very pleased (and slightly amazed) to report that I have not had one single hot flush or night sweat since the start of the treatment! I am going to monitor my health closely and if my symptoms show any sign of returning, I will be straight back to Vanessa to sort me out again!"
Wendy - school librarian
"Really enjoyable massage, very calming and the techniques were really effective."
Malcolm - carpenter
"Great massage which made me feel cocooned and safe. I particulary liked the fast 'shampooing' technique on my scalp which I tranced out to!"
Corrinne - gardener
"I had been through quite an intense run of pressurised months working on a series of busy projects and was feeling very tense. Vanessa commented on how gnarled the muscles in my shoulders and neck were feeling but after a very soothing Indian head massage it was amazing at how quickly I relaxed. I'm a regular now and couldn't recommend Vanessa more."

Text neck, however, is one of the worst. Damage to the spine by spending long periods of time in this poor hunched over posture could lead to serious problems.
