"I recommend Bel unreservedly because she has the skill, knowledge and understanding to make a difference that lasts."

"I slept like the proverbial log last night with NO PAIN!! Thank you for another excellent treatment."

"Bel has changed the way my body functions in such a positive way. She knows my physiology and her expertise and professionalism is exceptional. I am grateful for every treatment I receive."
"Bel has worked on my body during a time of profound psychological distress, depressed, despairing and struggling to cope. The conventional cure would be talking therapy or medication. I tried the former and resisted the latter but it was surrendering to Belinda‘s touch that gave me a relief during the stormy months when I was processing a lot of loss, grief and physical trauma. I continued to see Bel for maintenance and well-being and also because her work makes a huge difference to my bad knee, leg and neck aches. What a wonderful gift you have Bel!"

"To say Bel has healing hands might undermine the intensive training she’s undertaken, but that’s really what it feels like during a massage session, Bel instinctively knows what area needs the most attention and adapts her massage technique accordingly. I was involved in a serious car accident affecting several different areas, Bel works on the impact and post surgical trauma. From the beginning Bel has understood my body and me, offering kind, gentle and holistic support in her calming environment. During a very stressful phase of my life, a treatment at Bel’s is the only place I can switch off and briefly forget about everything else outside."
