This was my first experience of the flotation tank and I felt so safe and the 60 minutes I spent in there were so relaxing and I even got to choose the music, but you do have the choice not to have the music. A lovely shower with everything provided and what more can I say great service and not at outrageous prices. I am returning to have hand reflexology and Christine gave me lots of advice prior to this appointment. Thank you so much

My young niece, brother and mother and several friends have seen Sheila quite a few times for…read moreproblems ranging from back / shoulder and hip pain to difficulties with continence and stress. I have had treatments for shoulder and neck pain and can honestly say the effects were instantaneous. My young niece had severe constipation when she was just a few months old and was prescribed suppositories by her GP but understandably, her parents wanted to at least try an alternative before using them. Within 24hrs of Sheila massaging her feet in various spots, the little lass opened her bowels with a vengeance and created havoc in my brothers household!! Sheila's referrals tend to be via word of mouth although she has established a considerable amount of regular customers for treatment. As well as Reflexology, she provides other forms of alternative therapy treatments such as massages, healing etc. She will see people at her own home and in a specially adapted treatment room or will visit and treat people at home. Not sure exactly what the qualifications are but know she undertakes continuous training and refresher courses for the treatments she carries out and is registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (voluntary register for UK alternative therapists) What I like about Sheila is that she is not the sort of therapist that will tell you everything can be solved by reflexology and if you are suffering from prolonged or severe symptoms, she will advise you to seek medical attention and emphasises that her treatments compliment conventional medicine. I'm still none the wiser as to how Reflexology actually works or why but can't argue with the fact it works!

Traveling extensively for two months takes a toll on a body. My husband and I were in dire need of…read moremassage therapy for our tight muscles and aches and pains. We were fortunate to find Body & Sole in Kendal. Menno and Amanda Brandwijk are both skilled therapists but specialise in different areas. Amanda enjoys aromatherapy and massage. Menno's area is remedial massage which we both required to remedy our aches and pains. Menno's 15 years experience in his field and his extensive knowledge base on how to treat muscles from head to toe is most impressive. We are from California and have had excellent massage therapy care over the years so we know a good one when we meet one. Menno is caring, kind and holistic in his approach to treating his clients. He carefully assesses your problem areas and treats the causes not just the symptoms. Additionally, he gives you stretches and/or exercises to help keep the problems from reoccurring. The fee is quite fair and well worth your investment. If you hurt and need help, look no further this is the place to go.

I decided to come here to do acupuncture treatment after my local GP made all the blood examination…read moreand stated that nothing was wrong with my health despite me having reccuring hot flashes, chronic fatigue and a very low energy level. To be perfectly frank, I came for the acupuncture without having much expectation, which helped me to see if it really works in an unbiased manner. Having done 3 sessions or acupuncture and medical massage a week for approximately 3 weeks, I noticed a steep improvement: the hot flashes reduced in frequency, my energy level was restored to the extent where I could function normally again and deal with the colossal workload without feeling sick. I also noticed my fatigue gradually disappearing. At this moment, after receiving acupuncture and medical massage for 3 months, I can confidently tell that it did help me immensely, and now I am successfully back on track with my work and life. Personally, I felt the greatest effect after combining acupuncture with the medical massage in one session. Hence, I'd highly recommend this to everybody who has similar health problems.
