    By Despina Psarra • 02/02/2025

Customer testimonials

  • Hélène Lo

    Joy is the most caring massage therapist I’ve ever come across. She will go the extra mile to understand your body mechanics and try to untie your knots in the long run. Don’t be fooled by her petite frame, she actually has the strength of a professional male wrestler when she needs to. As a very competitive martial artist, my body very often requires maintenance. Having someone who knows my long term injuries and my muscle structure is invaluable.She has helped me keep my body proficient in the run up to competitions and also recover faster during the off season. Whether you’re a professional athlete, working in an office all day or a busy stay-at-home mum, Joy will be able to relieve the pressure and stress from your day to day life with her magical hands! I couldn’t recommend her more, you will feel the benefit of her massages over time!

    I have a number of longstanding impairments and often experience pain. For this reason I have found Despina’s treatments extremely beneficial. Despina has an amazing touch and each session she knows exactly which part needs the most attention, as if by intuition. After my appointments with her, I not only feel very relaxed and refreshed, but also acquire flexibility and lightness devoid of any pain. Despina’s kind, friendly and gentle nature always brings joy to the treatment room and it is always a delight to see her! Thank you Despina x

    Alison gave me a back, arm and abdominal massage which left me with a sense of wellbeing that lasted several days. The massage was firm and positive. It was the first time I had had a belly massage and I enjoyed it. I am looking forward to my next one.
