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.

‘I felt incredibly safe - at a very deep level. Maybe even like coming home, to my beginnings of my further evolved self…the day after I felt more grounded, slept heavily & fell asleep much earlier than I have in 2 weeks. Lilly is one very knowledgeable healer, I am very much looking forward to further sessions. Thank you for bringing your special gifts into this world. You are indeed a special beacon of light the world so dearly needs.’ - Alex
