    I’ve been so very privileged to have had many massages in my 55 years.. and the last two where by a sports therapists. However.. May I try to recount my experience of quite the most unexpected hour and a half treatment where.. it was almost as if I was massaging my own self. Knowing where the work and time was needed.. pressure and – what I can only describe as kneading out a build up of very crystallised knits and points that are agony.. It is a higher ordained experience to receive the treatment from Joti – the consummate and over and above organised professional. Prepared and ready with everything required for any eventuality. Her knowledge of the requirements for me as her client – she’d carefully worked hard on in her perpetration and quickly set down to achieve the working area with outstanding swift and respect. I was astonished as to how she had transformed our space with awesome and natural ease. She explained everything what I needed to be aware of.. and prepared me for the most valuable outcome of her work. She created a sense of safety and total respect – using her voice.. and providing sounds, oils and adjusting pure cotton cloths, a warming blanket as she worked on me throughout my massage session ensuring pressure was correct and listening to any issues. So here is why I will endorse her and promote her : I have never known anyone to work on me without any pain or forcing the difficulties that our bodies present at times. As I tried to explain: it was as if it was me myself knowing what I needed and exactly what I required. Breathing and stretching: all on the exact point as to requirement. I was left feeling like I’d been reopened and agile, my mobility eased zinging with open energy and revivement. Joti was meant for sharing and providing her immense gift and calling. Thank you Joti for working with me today. You’re incredibly gifted and I’m so blessed for your helping me with your beautiful knowledge hands and careful love !
