TESTIMONIALS

​

I am very happy to recommend Pause Massage. Stephanie is providing lymphatic drainage massage to assist with my cancer recovery. I feel very safe with Stephanie as she understands what it is like to be unwell. She makes me feel very comfortable and tailors the massage to my needs. The massage helps to keep the Lymphoedema under control and the hospital is pleased with the results. Stephanie is part of the team that is helping with my cancer recovery. The massage is a very enjoyable experience and I feel great afterwards.

I got in contact with Stephanie after returning from Lithuania where I had undertaken two treatments: a neck lift and liposuction in three areas. The treatments were very successful but left my neck area and abdomen very tender and swollen, my scars and stitches still very apparent. I had lymphatic drainage treatment in Lithuania and they recommended I continue with some more back in the UK. Stephanie was excellent in her treatment, not only her treatment room, which is very relaxing, but the way she explains how the treatment works and what it is trying to achieve. She is very skilled at lymphatic drainage and I always feel the benefit after each treatment: very relaxed and reduced swelling in each area. I would definitely recommend Stephanie for this treatment. Stephanie is also very generous with the time she spends with you and so the treatments are excellent value for money.

I’ve never had a treatment which made me simultaneously relax, laugh and cry, but Stephanie ended up life coaching me while she worked on my massage. It felt wonderful and she was so kind and helpful to talk to. She helped me get perspective on some issues in my life and I left feeling physically and emotionally better. Slept so well afterwards and now feel really calm which is exactly what I was hoping for. Wonderful.

What an experience! I've been lucky enough to have many massages in my life. But none like the massages I experience with Steph. Frequent user is an understatement... Ideal for personalising the massage that you need! To really tackle problem areas or simply relax and rewind and everything in between. Lovely, thank you for your services and humanising your services. Simply fabulous and excellent value for money.

The treatment was relaxing and pain relieving with optimal pressure. Steph used a variety of manual therapy techniques which helped to reduce muscle spasm and tension throughout my body. Steph has a calming aura and the treatment is within in a relaxing atmosphere to make you feel at ease and unwind from the stresses of daily life. After the treatment I had increased neck and shoulder range of movement and I can now look over my right shoulder which I had not been able to do for 2-3 years due to soft tissue restriction. I felt a huge release post treatment and my body felt fully relaxed and also increased ability to sleep since my treatment. I would highly recommend Steph for musculoskeletal body work for reducing pain, stiffness and enhancing relaxation for the mind, body and soul.

I took my young daughter to see Stephanie for a Lymphatic Drainage Massage as she has been struggling with her health and Stephanie was amazing! She really made my daughter feel comfortable and at ease and was very informative during each step of the process. I would highly recommend Stephanie and we will certainly be booking with her again in the future.

The environment that Stephanie has created for her sessions is beautiful, it compliments her style of practice. I really felt like she had healing hands immediately and was very knowledgeable. She clearly understands and is passionate about many facets of what good makes a great massage and healing session. I go regularly as it adds to keep me at my best.

I would highly recommend Steph. She treated my back with various different manual therapy techniques which reduced the muscle spasm and sciatic pain I had from a fall allowing me to be able to move pain free and ride my horse afterwards. A relaxing environment to also be treated in. Thank you Steph!

Highly recommended Steph's massage to anyone looking to have a little getaway from a busy town to the countryside. She is an experienced and very thoughtful masseuse, using a brilliant mix of techniques chosen for your needs. My usual is mixture of deep tissue and lymphatic with a gentle touch of reiki treatment. I absolutely love the feeling of being spaced out and light in my body after!

​Wonderful Massage! Attentive and knowledgeable. I had neck and shoulder issues which we spoke about and Stephanie really worked on these areas in a way which alleviated the pains I had. She also made me a smoothie when I arrived which was so good. All in all a great experience. I will definitely return. Thank you again!

Stephanie, just wanted to say that I really feel like I got exactly what I wanted out of yesterday. I feel that a lot of trapped emotion has come up in releasing the tension / lactic acid (and I forgot the other one) build up. Incredible! Thank you so much. I feel centred, and more balanced again.

​

I feel so much better - Thank you. I see what you mean about feeling tired/relaxed afterwards! Absolutely fantastic massage that hit the spot completely, in a lovely relaxing environment. Stephanie was kind, knowledgeable and professional, and tailored to just what I needed to get rid of those knots. I will definitely be going again!
