testimonials:
'I appreciated having the option to receive more traditional shiatsu, or craniosacral treatment. You made sure I was warm enough, and... I didn’t realise exactly how comfortable the table was until the end when I realised I hadn’t needed to move my neck at all. The treatment itself was intuitive,...your hand positioning was confident and nurturing. I felt the pressure was satisfying, and I felt confident with you working on my neck...After the treatment I felt refreshed and energised [as well as] calm and relaxed'. - Emily.
'Lilly's treatments are wonderful!! I experience a great sense of wellbeing and relaxation after every treatment. She has an innate understanding of what I need in treatment and is always incredibly nurturing and professional. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her treatments are heavenly!!' - Kate.
