Here  is  some  feedback  I've  been  given -
"Your  massage  is  the  perfect  combination  of  deep  tissue  and  nurturing,  I  think  the  best  I've  ever  had,  thanks,  I'll  be  back!"  T. Parker,  Remedial Massage 
 
"That  was  just  fantastic,  I've  had  alot  of  massage  and  that  is  one  the  best  I've  had,  I  feel  like  a  new personr"  A. Thompson,  Remedial  Massage

" Devine  massage ,  I  feel  like  I  have  wings  and  I  could  fly!  Thank you so much".   S. Jordan, Ayurvedic  Stone  Massage 

"Those  stones  are  amazing,  I  really  went  into  a  deep  relaxation,  and  my  back  feels  great,  thank  you" R. Henderson,  Ayurvedic  Stone  Massage 

"I  feel  so  grounded  and  nurtured,  the  stones  were  increadible,  so  warm  and  they  felt  so  nurturing.   The scents  and  the  massage  strokes  you  used  were  really  lovely  too.  There  were  so  many  amazing  moments, thank you  for  your  energy.  K. Hanley,  Ayurvedic  Stone  Massage

A  little about  me - 
 In  the  6  years  I've  been  practicing  massage  at  Sanctuary in Avalon,  I've  enjoyed  seeing  clients  benefit from  the  many  great  aspects  of  masssage  therapy.   Combining varied  techniques  including  remedial,  sports,  deep  tissue,  relaxation,  Ayurvedic,  hot  stone  and   pregnancy  massage  aswell  as  reiki  and  energetic healing, treatments  are  tailored  to  your  needs.    The  massage  table  is  super  soft  and  perfect  for  long  treatments  and for  those  who  get  uncomfortable  lying  on  a  massage  table -  many  clients  say  it's  the  most  comfortable  they've  experienced and  that  it  makes  the  whole  massage  experience  more  enjoyable.   Fresh,  clean  towels,  quality  massage  oils and  essential  oils  chosen  to  nourish  and  support  the  body  as  well  as  relaxing  music  all  help  to  make your  massage  bliss..
