I have now had 3 treatments here (a pregnancy massage and 2 Swedish back massages) and they were all absolutely amazing! Jo the owner is so lovely and welcoming and her knowledge and experience of massage treatment as a whole is very evident. She worked on the exact areas I needed work on and the pressure was perfect. Every little detail is thought of, from the beautiful room decorations, the ambience, perfect temperature, privacy and comfort on the bed. I thoroughly recommend these treatments for full mind, body and soul relaxation and self care. A totally different experience from going to a
