I had a wonderful massage on a Sunday with the lovely Francesca. The massage was tailored to my individual needs and not only was the massage very good, the stretching and massage have helped my back considerably. I have noticed a significant improvement and feel more mobile. I will definitely return again. We also had a nice chat during the massage. Thank you lovely ☺️

I have been suffering with a shoulder injury for months and I wish I saw Ana a lot earlier as the injury has 80-90% healed within two sessions. Ana does not sugarcoat, provides honest feedback and directly tackled the root causes of the injury rather than offering temporary relief. The ongoing rehab plan has been helping and she encourages strengthening weak areas of the body as a means of injury prevention. She is very knowledgeable and offered advice regarding possible amendments to my current workout split to incorporate rehab and working around the injury. Please see her if you want to be pain free and restore movement!

Would highly recommend. I had been to multiple physio's and didn't feel or find much benefit and then Anastasia got straight to the issue in the session and gave me follow up exercises to help me rehab independently. I returned to her a few months later with a neck injury and again she worked wonders.

★★★★★★★★★★Tom BougheyDec 2025

Absolutely brilliant treatment options and extremely knowledgeable. I have struggled with my back & shoulder for years and have been visiting Anastasia for the last 18 months. My issues were quickly diagnosed and effectively treated. It has made a huge difference to me and I cannot recommend enough. Consultations are expertly done in a relaxed environment with no pressure for a long term treatment plan.

I have been using Anastasia for the past few months and I can not stress enough how amazing she is. After over a year of sports massages, physio’s and chiropractors I saw little improvement and the problems I had kept coming back, however, Anastasia has stopped this and I am finally recovering. She is incredibly knowledgeable, explains the mechanics of the body and its problems in a very thorough and logical way. She even gave rehab exercises which have helped massively. At the rates she charges she is incredible value for money for that level of expertise. I would recommended Anastasia to absolutely anyone!

★★★★★★★★★★KimNov 2025

Francesca is absolutely fantastic! I’ve been seeing her for a few months now, and I can honestly say the service is exceptional from start to finish. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, always tailoring each massage to my specific needs. Her treatments are highly effective, and she offers valuable insights into the sources of my tension along with practical tips for managing it at home. I always leave feeling like a completely new person. I can’t wait for my next appointment!

★★★★★★★★★★La BlondeNov 2025

As a busy, working mom, this full body massage was exactly what I needed. Francesca was absolutely amazing — professional, attentive, and incredibly skilled. The perfect pressure melted away all my stress and tension. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and renewed. Highly recommend booking with Francesca if you need a true moment of calm and self-care.

★★★★★★★★★★Fardowsa HassanNov 2025

I had a wonderful back massage with Francesca, and it was truly incredible. Before we even started, she took the time to ask so many thoughtful questions to understand exactly what I needed.. I’ve never had such a thorough consultation before, and it made me feel really heard. The massage itself was super amazing. She focused on the knots in my back caused by stress, and I genuinely felt the difference afterward. I’ll definitely be coming back, especially for some more specific issues I’d like help with. Highly recommended!

★★★★★★★★★★Saverio Savio SavarinoNov 2025

Incredible Deep Tissue Massage with Francesca! I recently had a deep tissue massage with Francesca, and it was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel welcomed and comfortable. She took the time to ask about my specific areas of tension and listened closely to my needs, which made the experience feel personalized and truly therapeutic. Francesca's deep tissue technique is top-notch. She was able to really target the knots and tight spots in my muscles with just the right amount of pressure. It was intense but incredibly effective, and I could feel the relief almost immediately. She really knows how to work through those stubborn areas and loosen up the tension. The environment was calming and relaxing, with soft lighting and soothing music — everything you need to unwind. I appreciated how Francesca checked in throughout the session to make sure I was comfortable with the pressure, but also gave me space to relax fully. I walked out of the session feeling like a new person—less tense, more flexible, and overall so much more at ease. If you're looking for a deep tissue massage that actually works to release tension and improve muscle mobility, Francesca is the one to see. Highly recommend!

I've been going to Ana for a few months now and she's honestly amazing! Her deep tissue massages have done wonders, especially for persistent back/neck pain. She has incredible knowledge of how your muscles and body interact to expertly identify the root cause of issues and treat them properly instead of surface remedies. Ana listens to what you need and it's clear she really cares about her work. She is super lovely and easy to get on with, truly cannot recommend her enough!
