Heart Centred Bodywork — Massage therapist in Oxford, England

Kate is a sensitive and skilled practitioner who creates a very safe space to connect with what your body, mind and soul needs. She listens deeply to both what you say and what your body says. Recovering from illness, I needed something that was gentle and supportive – to re-find myself, my energy, my trust in my body. She was a great partner with me in this journey. Her treatments made me feel nourished, grounded and more spacious and I left each session feeling both softer and stronger. I highly recommend Kate – she’s a very special human being.

Kate is amazing! I had sessions with Kate for grief and general low mood, and from the very first session I felt lighter and started to sparkle again. She works with deep knowledge, intuition and genuine care - I felt very supported. I can’t recommend Kate highly enough.

Kate is a deeply welcoming and attentive professional, with a rare ability to listen to the body, the mind and the soul of her patients. Her work feels grounded, intuitive, and profoundly respectful of the person as a whole. She has natural healing abilities and is extremely skilled as a shiatsu therapist. Each session is thoughtful and restorative, leaving a lasting sense of balance and care.

Kate is highly knowledgeable and takes time at the start of each session to tune in and sense what will be most helpful on that day. Her approach feels thoughtful, intuitive, and grounded in real expertise. Each time I have left a session, I have felt noticeably more centred, clearer, and calmer, with a lasting sense of balance and wellbeing. I would highly recommend Kate’s shiatsu to anyone looking for a deeply supportive and restorative experience.

I have been seeing Kate over a number of months. When I started I was frazzled and experiencing possibly stress-related skin problems. Kate's practice massively helped: I felt much more relaxed, fewer skin problems, and couldn't wait for the next session. Kate is very caring and seeks to understand the whole person, mind and body. The experience has been very therapeutic for me.

I value Kate’s shiatsu sessions for the still, respectful and focussed environment that she creates and for the quality and attention she offers in her hands-on-treatment. I would highly recommend her to anyone, particularly those who like myself are highly sensitive. Wren Hughes

Kate creates a welcoming and nurturing space and she brings a wisdom and intuition to the body. I find shiatsu massage is a subtle but an effective treatment that relaxes and aligns my body. It leaves me feeling more grounded and connected to myself at a mind, body and spirt level.

I am a busy person and can find it hard to just stop and take time for myself but the way that Kate gently and clearly guided me through the Shiatsu massage, really enabled me to become more aware of and then let go of tension I was holding in my body. I found Kate’s presence calm and supportive. Her perceptions were deeply insightful and her touch was firm, and relieving. Thank you so much Kate!

Shiatsu with Kate is a treatment I would highly recommend. She creates a really safe space to drop in to your body and let it open up to receive her intuitive touch. I was so happy with how my body responded and how well I slept after.

I had two Zen Shiatsu Massage sessions with Kate over several months. Kate was professional and friendly, showing in-depth knowledge in meridian system/philosophy. She was also excellent in taking constructive feedback when I suggested the use of a heated blanket (it was lovely and warm when I visited her for the second time)!
