    “Joti´s Ayurvedic massage was truly incredible ! She worked on all of the knots in my neck and back – I left walking on air! Thanks Joti!”
  • Jackie

    I had a great back, shoulder & neck yoga massage with Alison at her home recently. Having previously had an uncomfortable sports massage I wasn’t really sure if this was going to be for me. I can now happily say it definitely was, with the use of powder combined with oil not only did my muscles feel more relaxed but my skin felt great too. Knowing I was a little nervous about the intensity of pressure that would be applied Ali went to great lengths explaining the process and continually asked throughout the session if I was happy or could she change anything. Her room was really light and airey plus the yoga music in the background made it a really relaxing and enjoyable experience

    I received massages from Despina during my visit to Mysore 2013. In my experience, she’s very professional in her work; she’s intuitive, and has a unique ability to sense and understand the body of each individual. I would highly recommend her as a massage therapist.
