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 ealth 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!

I had a great an hour session after doing a 60km run and it indeed helped me relax my muscles. A very knowledgeable and professional masseur, great place to go for a proper massage if you are looking for one.
I would highly recommend it.

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!

I really enjoyed my first visit to see Stephanie who made me feel very at ease with her friendly welcome and open nature. The countryside setting was tranquil and being able to chat freely really added to the overall healing experience. The relaxing massage left me feeling so very relaxed and I had the best night’s sleep in ages. I would highly recommend. Thank you - I shall definitely be re-booking!

The most relaxing and beneficial way to spend an hour and a half. A beautiful and serene environment with an intuitive and skilled practitioner truly put me at my ease and made this the best full body massage I have ever experienced.

Thank you so much for today. You were amazing and I feel relaxed and better all over. I’m looking forward to our next meeting.

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.

 

- Sam

 

 

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!

I recently had a coaching session with Stephanie and it was amazing! She is so intuitive and really helped me get to the bottom of what needed to be adjusted in my life to make room for self healing and joy. Her knowledge and suggestions were so insightful and I felt that she really listened. She is a really lovely person who I felt very comfortable with. I will definitely be having another session.

Stephanie is very supportive. During our Solution Session I felt listened to, something I’d been struggling with for a long time. We investigated my hormone patterns and developed a way to work around them. She gave me the confidence to start up my own nursing business which is now flourishing. I’d highly recommend health coaching sessions with Stephanie.

Dearest Stephanie. It is nine weeks ago today since I first contacted you. My goodness, what a lot has happened in that time. Best of all I have got me back; and my family have a wife and mother. I think you sensed that I was at my absolute nadir on that Monday 11 June. I had intended to go 'cold turkey' that day, but when dreadful shakes started at 10 am I knew I had to take proper action for the first time in my life. Even to do that l had to have half a bottle of wine. However, all that is behind me now, and I want to reiterate my very special thanks to you for the huge part you played in getting me into the road to recovery. I had absolutely no idea what to expect when I called you. You held my hand and guided me through the process, and I will never forget your friendly voice nor your encouragement. There was no judgement, only support and understanding. You have a wonderful gift. Today is day 61 (!) and I have just returned from two weeks on holiday in Greece, when I am proud to say I did not have a drop, only coke, fruit juice and water. I cannot describe to you how wonderful I feel! The energy I put into planning and feeding my addiction, the time spent hiding bottles and remembering where they were, the lies I told... All this energy is being channelled into such more worthwhile activities like being there for the children, tennis, swimming, lunching with friends! And I look younger!!! I am fully aware that I am not cured and that I will always be an alcoholic - in recovery. However, I would like to offer hope to all those out there with whom you are in contact. Please tell them that they can find peace and happiness in sobriety. And thank you once again, Stephanie. You are one in a million!

Having a rare neurological disorder, I have taken many prescription drugs and herbal remedies for various ailments. Nothing has made a bigger, more positive difference to me than taking Ayurvedic capsules for gastric problems (IBS). I would go so far to say that it has proved to be a bit of a miracle!

Stephanie reintroduced me to horses after I had been in recovery from drugs and alcohol for a few months. I felt she understood. I used to ride as a child and always enjoyed being around horses but along the way lost all sense of myself and lost anything that I was interested in. Parapanda is the horse that bought me back to life, I was lucky enough to be able to look after her and she in turn set me free. I found a place of meditation whilst I was around her, I was for the first time able to get out of my own head and felt a calmness and a sense of serenity that was hard to feel anywhere else. Thinking back to that time, the most valuable gifts I received were learning how feel, being responsible and learning how to be by myself comfortably.
