"It's been a little while since I last saw Karen for a massage... But the first time completely blew me away. I had even forgotten just how immeasurable Karen is until returning to see her again. Karen's massage treatment is very special. There is no one and nothing that compares. It's hard to put my finger on but Karen's personality is definitely part of it. Very caring, uplifting and therapeutic. Not many have her blend of talents, in so many ways. She's definitely someone very special in this world." Mark 2016
"Karen is Exceptional!
From her warm pleasant company, knowledge, healing skills, to the outstanding massage itself. She is attentive, full of compassion, focused and you can feel that she puts all she has into the treatment. Karen has the incredible power to heal and you can tangibly feel it flowing from her hands and into your body, something I have never previously experienced. It truly is an incredible feeling! Ive never felt so relaxed. Every inch of my body, mind and soul feels completely destressed and rejuvenated and after the treatment I had the best nights sleep I think I've ever had! Today I am refreshed, revitalised focused and ready for anything! I have been lifted to a new height of feeling.... and feel like a whole new person! Karen is one incredible lady, inside and out!" - Phil, 2016o
"Only one word - Karen is Incredible! This is by far without any doubt the best massage I have ever had! Karen's skills are flawless and every move is perfection. I cannot describe accurately in words the immense effects of this treatment, it is something you must experience! It is a blissful heavenly experience I have never felt/experienced before and the effects are profound both physically, mentally, emotionally as well as spiritually. Karen is a highly intelligent, warm, kind, caring, beautiful and intuitive lady and someone you simply have to experience! I feel like a whole new person, light and warm and fuzzy and the effects of Karen's treatments definitely ripple out and have a wider positive effect on work and family. Karen your amazing, Thankyou." - Mark 2016
"Karen has a very calming effect the minute one arrives. Her 'no-rush' approach adds to the calming effect and she likes to get to know her clients and what they are seeking through her therapy.
The massage itself is an expertly judged blend of firm therapeutic but relaxing strokes which absolutely hit the spot for me and Karen is highly intuitive. I sometimes find it takes me quite a while into a session before I really switch off but somehow Karen can take me to that state very quickly. I feel realigned, refreshed and invigorated. I look forward to many more! Thanks Karen" - Steven 2016
"Karen sincerely is a true Angel amongst us, a rare gem. Her authenticity of kindness, compassion, sincerity, wisdom and experience shine through. She is selfless and conscientious of the needs of others.. I came to Karen as a last resort hoping her 2 hour massage and healing session would ease my depression and constant headaches and help me sleep better and function in everyday life. This is more than a massage treatment. Karen freely gave her time to listen to my troubles and aided me in gently guiding me to my own truth, guiding my mind to the right places within myself. Not once did she push her own knowledge onto me but took me on a gentle walk through my inner landscape to illuminate some hidden depths. She is exceptionally perceptive and everything she does comes with sincere caring, strength, Love and kindness. Many have commented on the exceptional massage itself, and I was blown away by the attention to detail and flawless technique and her incredible healing abilities. But as this is so much more than I was expecting, a whole package for your Mind, body and Soul I want to stress at how both highly effective, needed and touching/life changing this treatment is - Karen is a natural councellor and life coach with a true gift and passion for what she does. A real friend, light and angel. Her care stretched beyond the treatment as she freely lent her time to help me through some difficult things I was going through restoring my mind to balance and understanding and clarity. Really I am deeply touched. Thankyou Karen for all you have given. A beautiful lady inside and out - a rare and precious gem indeed." - Rick Simpson, 2015
"Karen is warm, welcoming, selfless, receptive, understanding and very passionate and extremely knowledgeable about what she does. She took time to get to know me (1 hour!!!!) and most importantly, listened to me. I felt a connection during the massage that I’ve never experienced before - an awakening of my senses, both physical and emotional. This is SO much more than a massage and in fact should be termed as a medical miracle of healing. Words will only dilute my unique experience to you but if you are looking for ‘just a massage’, then I highly recommend Karen to you as world class - your aches and pains will simply melt away and you will feel incredibly reinvigorated for days after the massage. Hand on heart, this is the best massage I've ever had! However, come with an open mind and you will instantly recognise that this is something much deeper than a massage, there is healing taking place and a reawakening of our spiritual being. I came to Karen with built-up anxiety and mild depression, I left profoundly touched by her healing massage and my anxiety has gone, I'm so much more positive, especially in the mornings and feel calmer in my personal and professional life. Days after, Im still feeling the benefits of my time and investment with Karen. She really does put her heart mind and soul into the treatment and the positive feeling is immense! For me my 3 hours with Karen have been a revelation and an experience I will never forget. I’m looking forward to my next appointment on my road of rediscovery! Thank you Karen!" - Fergus, 2014

I am a cyclist not in the first flush of youth, and my thighs and legs really look forward to having a treatment from her. Her attention to detail is absolutely incredible - not a centimeter is missed. She is strong without hurting and intuitively knows how her client is feeling and reacting to the treatment. I do recommend the longer treatment as it does give you the time to totally relax. It is thorough intensive and very beautiful giving you a deep feeling of peace and security to just drift away to a whole other heavenly place you may never have visited before.
She is very welcoming and personable and a joy to interact with and the treatment room and facilities are excellent. Karen is very special and unique and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Absolutely flawless." - Deryk Dec 2014

"Karen is a kind, considerate, intuitive and beautiful lady inside and out with a knowing sparkle to her eyes and a warm and disarming smile. She seems to be blessed with the genuine gift of healing. Please treat her with the utmost respect she deserves and you're in for the BEST massage therapy session you'll ever have! Before our meeting, my energy was low. My mindset, poor. My posture & attitude, defeatist. Karen's hands upon me were on fire, I truly felt a deep connection and was comfortable enough to drift off a couple of times! When doing so, my mind was clear of it's normal clutter and noise. Absent was it's constant processing of work's to's & fro's. Karen's energy-connection to me was strong enough to block the negativity from my thoughts. Her ability to send me peace, strength and healing when I needed it most will be a debt I can never repay. I'm in awe of this lady's talents, humbled by her strength and feel blessed the universe chose to let our paths cross. At the risk of filling up her diary to the detriment of my next appointments, do yourself a favour and get in touch with this awesome lady. Your life will change for the better! I guarantee it! :) " - Jay, Buddhist 2014
"Where do I start to praise Karen?? I have had a lot of massages over the last few years and was looking for a rare and special experience which I have only once found before. I wanted to get in a state of deep relaxation, Forget about my usual work load, everyday troubles and stress. Feel like i was floating and dreaming and never wanting the dream to stop. I also wanted to sort out some ongoing back and leg aches. I found it with Karen. From the first contact to inquire about her treatment Karen responded with a warm and friendly response and seemed to have all the time in the world to answer any question I threw at her. She was understanding and seemed very knowledgeable. I explained what I wanted and she was more than happy to help.
On arrival the first thing I noticed was the warm friendly smile, straight away i was at ease.We sat and chatted for quite a time which was good as it gave her time to really understand me and my needs. She explained everything she would do during the session and how it will help in the long run.
As mentioned at the start I have had a lot of massages in the past and more to often they are so basic. Usually straight on the table and then a basic massage straight from a text book. Not with Karen! Her technique is unique, flawless, amazing! I drifted away so fast not even I expected it. The time flew by and I really could have done the 2.5 hours over again there and then. She listened to everything i said and addressed it down to a tee. Her touch had a loving feel and I could actually feel the glowing energy flowing from her hands.
I slept like I have never done before that night and the night after. On both occassions waking up ready to take on the work challenges feeling so uplifted and inspired! I felt like a whole new person... with no aches and pains whatsoever for the first time in how long I can remember! I took time to read Karen's website before the appointment and I would recommend anyone planning a visit to do the same. Get to understand Karen in order for her to understand you. I have already told Karen I will be back and I cannot wait. The most amazing experience ever. Karen is one Amazing, talented, beautiful and uplifting inspiring intelligent lady. Thanks Karen!" - Sean 2014
"I came across Karen by good fortune and lucky googling. After feeling like I needed to relax a bit and get a good massage after a very long hard week of training, her 2hr massage sounded ideal. My body, and if I’m honest, my mind are still thanking me for that decision (2 days later!). I feel like I have a whole new body and mind and my mood just keeps increasing as time goes on!
This is far more than just a massage, but if that is what you’re looking for, you will not be disappointed! It was undoubtedly the best I have ever experienced (and I’ve had a lot in my time as a Professional Athlete and bodybuilder). If I were a spiritual person I’d say that Karen is a very pure soul and that this comes through in her massage and healing. You really get a feeling of genuine care for your wellbeing and a sense of completeness about the whole process. As an outsider to the understanding of almost all the other factors that go into this healing massage, Karen was also very patient and respectful in her explanations to me. Again, her passion for the subject comes through. If you’re still wondering whether to book an appointment read the ‘My Background’ section of her site. It’s comprehensive! Thank you Karen" - Phil, Professional Athelete/Weightlifter, 2014
"The massage I had from Karen was wonderful beyond words, it was the most relaxing and effective massage I have ever had, true heaven. The way I felt the next day and since I had the 2 hour treatment a couple of weeks ago is amazing, I feel more relaxed and positive. Karen is a true pro at the holistic massage and rieki treatment she provides, in addition to this her energy passion enthusiasm and positivity cant help but rub off on you also! I had been struggling a little in my training and couldnt seem to make my time due to various personal stresses. Since the massage I have been thrashing my personal bests EVERY time! The massage has a lasting and exponential effect over time - this is NOT just a massage - it works on a deep unconscious and subconscious level - Mind body and Spirit. It is hard to describe! All I can say is if you are considering an appointment dont wait, just go ahead and book because you will not regret it that is for sure! This is far more effective than a Sports Massage and more enjoyable! I shall be going on a monthly basis to keep me feeling relaxed, balanced, calm and at peace with everyday life and of course to listen to her lovely music" - Robert (athlete), 2013
"Thankyou Karen for the most amazing massage and healing session I have ever experienced in my life - it is true! Karen is absolute MAGIC - there are no other words to describe the service she provides to tired souls... A complete de-stress and revitalising treatment. I havnt been able to switch off in such a long time and have suffered various constant aches and pains which no other therapist seems to have been able to shift - but one 2.5 hour session with Karen - and its ALL GONE!!!! Karen has an extremely powerful and valuable gift if that is the right term, which not only affects an individual but radiates out into the wider community like a ripple effect! I am so much happier, calmer, clearer than I have been in a long while, with greater focus and efficiency at work and in every day life in general which has been rubbing off on people around me! Karen you are like rocket fuel!!!! Karen is an instantly likeable kind caring and intelligent individual, and underneath her bubbly happy exterior is a deep and profound peace and love that transfers during the treatment. If you have not experienced Karen or her treatment, make sure you do.. you have had a life changing effect Karen and totally opened my mind to things Ive always previously dismissed. Keep up the good work Karen, and ill definitely be seeing you again very soon!" - Darren, 2014
"I feel very fortunate to have found Karen! She was so welcoming and warm that I felt completely comfortable from the first moment she met me at the door. She took time to chat to me and get to know a bit about me before starting her treatment and was so lovely. We could have chatted for hours and that alone is enough to make anyone feel great. The massage was EXCEPTIONAL. Karen is very thorough and it feels like she has several pairs of hands while she's working. My 90 minute massage ended up being more like 2 hours because Karen does what needs to be done and doesn't rush the process, working methodically to smooth out stressed muscles. I feel even better today than I did after my treatment yesterday. The tension in my shoulders and neck is gone and my lower back is fully mobile again and pain free, plus I feel energised and uplifted and in a much better mood with greater focus! Thanks Karen, you are awesome!"- Lynn, Guildford, Sep 2014
"Wow! This has got to be one of the most relaxing amazing massages I have ever had in my life! I never knew it was possible to be so relaxed and peaceful.. I think I had forgotten! That sound healing combined with Karen's Massage & healing skills is absolutely out of this world... I feel like a new man and would recommend this to anyone. I was highly stressed and run down with alot going on in my life and couldn't switch off. You cant help but switch off during one of Karen's massages/healing sessions - 2 hours of heaven on a couch! I will definitely be back for more!!!! Absolutely first class! and when you wake up the next day you will feel incredible, trust me! - Jamie
Karen was so welcoming and friendly, making me feel very relaxed before the treatment had even begun. Her massage was so thorough and proficient, and she really gave her all, both physically and spiritually. I would recommend her to anyone wanting healing for the mind or body. - Laurie
"I just had a lovely 2 hour massage with Karen yesterday and I would highly recommend her. She's very thorough and conscious of my needs, and I felt relaxed and rejuvenated afterwards. Today, I feel great, have been more productive in my work than normal, and my mood is great :) I'll definitely be going back to Karen again sometime soon!" - Rachel, Aug 2014
"Karen is a wonderful massage therapist and healer! The healing sessions I had with Karen were some of the most relaxing, healing, and amazing experiences of my life. The atmosphere was calm and tranquil. Although not used to massage treatments, or Reiki/healing, I felt completely at ease with Karen. The energy of love and acceptance that Karen carries with her made me know I was in safe hands. Before the treatment certain blockages kept appearing in my life. After the treatment I felt as though I had been set free! It was a profound liberation. If I lived in England I would definitely go back for another treatment, and would recommend Karen's therapies to anyone!" Will, Canada, 2011
"When I met Karen for the first time recently I was immediately struck by how quickly I became comfortable in her presence. She is a very likeable, caring and intellectual person and while I was there it felt as if we were the only two people in the world. Her two hour treatment was amazing and her attention to detail incredible. Nothing was rushed. In fact with the pre treatment chat and time spent with her after the treatment I was probably there for nearer three hours than two. I slept well that night (unusually) and the next day I had a spring in my step, both physically and mentally. I managed to get some old jobs done that had been building up due to my stress related lethargy. Well done Karen and thank you. - Derek 2014"
"What an amazing experience! After struggling with a back injury which occurred in a helicopter crash, I came to see Karen as part of my rehab. An amazing experience, mentally stimulating, spiritually relaxing and a talented massage practitioner. I'm quite a large guy and Karen was easily able to massage and manipulate me. A thorough consultation and tailored treatment to assist in my rehab. I left feeling very relaxed and over the next few days began to feel better and better and more positive in mind body and spirit with less aches, pains and stiffness than I have felt in a long while! Thankyou so much Karen for all your help! Looking forward to returning again soon." - Stuart, 2014
"I can't recommend Karen and her 2hr treatment highly enough. It's beautiful escapism that everyone needs but rarely takes in life. From the moment I arrived I felt completely comfortable with her. For the next two hours I felt like the most important thing in her life, we talked and then she worked on me till I left feeling balanced, recharged and as positive as I have felt in a long long time. An amazing experience that channels itself through Karen. What she puts into it (emotionally and physically) is what makes the difference and what makes it such an amazing experience!!! Thank you! x" - Phil, 2012
"Karen is amazing and gives a top class massage! The energy she has is very powerful and I could feel the heat from her hands! Karen is a very pleasant bubbly young lady and also very perceptive and can channel her energy where you most need it and you can feel it too! She is thoroughly professional in all aspects of the treatment and it is apparent that she has worked hard in her field of holistic healing. Karen is an inspiration and a pleasure to be around, I can't wait for my next appointment, thank you Karen, I feel amazing!" - Stephen, 2013
"Before I booked a holistic massage session with Karen I will admittedly say I wasn't exactly sold on the whole thing. I am open minded and like to try new experiences so I gave it a shot. Karen was very knowledgable of not just the holistic massage but also in spirituality and life in general. We had talked about a lot of that so I was definitely more open to trying this out. She had known I went through some rough patches and we both thought tho massage with the reiki could help heal some of that.
The massage itself was unbelievable. One word to describe it: nurturing. Both on the physical body and soul. It felt like I slipped away to a new plain and when I came to, I felt fresh and re-energized. Weird part is, the next couple of days were intense and you could almost call it a negativity dump of some kind and integration Karen's healing energies. My body was depleted and took a couple days to myself in bed to recoup from it. Very hard to describe but just feel like my body released so much of my stress and emotional pain that I needed to rest. After that I never felt more alive and healthy. Karen is the most positive and enlightened person I have had the pleasure to meet! Through the massage and just talking with her, you can feel she puts everything into you, love being the most noticeable and powerful of them all. Karen is simply a kindred soul that only ever wants the best for you. She is very sensitive to your vibrations and intuitive to your needs. I hope to experience this feeling again in life and intend on keeping Karen in my life in any way possible! She is missed here in Canada ALOT!" - Neil K, Canada
"Last week I had my first session with Karen, what an amazing 2 hours. I have had massages from a number of different therapists but Karen is one of the best I have experienced. The combination of massage and healing left me feeling great. After a good nights sleep the next morning I was full of energy, with a focus on work that I hadn't had for a long time. Thank you Karen, I will be making this a regular part of my life." - Damon, Feb 2014
"When I went to Karen for a massage I went as I do to most places - with an open mind. When I left there was only one thing on my mind - to go back for another as soon as I could! It was 2 hours of TOTAL BLISS where I was made to feel like a millionaire dollars, I hadn't a care in the world! Karen makes you feel very important and it feels like she puts a lot of Love and care and attention into what she does. I come along way to have a massage with Karen and the reason I do is you can guarantee a top class massage and a lovely genuine person to go with it!! Karen is truly wonderful!" - Paul, Worthing
"I was recently given a truly great massage from Karen, who is such a kind and relaxed person you immediately feel at ease with her. The treatment was completely focused on both my physical and emotional well being, it left me with a feeling of total calm and contentment (whicih is not how I usually feel!) As with many important life events, Karen's massage cannot be adequately described in words, it has to be experienced." - David R
"As a worker with peoples' life directions and well being (www.ysanne.com), I cannot endorse Karen highly enough regarding her skills. her massage and related abilities took me to a new level which was timely. Yes, the physical effect was healing and her presence reassuring and relaxed, but after the massage i had an overdue spiritual dream/experience - a connection with a soul love - and felt a joy and healing at a deep level. I thought her professionalism was good too and all in all will easily recommend her to people. Can't wait for my next session! - Ysanne, Life Coach
"I have had a lot of massage over many years. I have found Karen provides a thorough and innovative massage that meets my requirements exactly. The glow from the massage definitely leaves you craving another, I like that feeling!" - Paul

"I had a 2 hour Holistic Massage from Karen recently. I have to say that it was the most relaxing massage treatment that I have ever had. The blend of oil's that she used were perfect for me. I felt great for days after and very balanced" - Michelle
"Had my 1st appointment with Karen this morning, i was made to feel very welcome, Karen explained in detail the treatment i would be getting and is very knowledgeable in her field. It was a lovely, soothing and calming experience, will definitely be seeing her again. Thankyou Karen." - Martin, 2013
"I recently had my first session with Karen and went for the full body 2 hour massage which was truly amazing. From the minute you meet Karen you start to relax and during the session you seem to take on a different state, where you can almost say you are in another world. It was truly a wonderfull massage, where time was not an issue. This is definately one place i will be returning to." Jamie B. 2013
"Karen is a very genuine & caring young lady and I immediately felt at ease with her. Using a combination of techniques, she was able to take my whole body on a journey to a place of total peace and tranquility for two hours of total relaxation.
Since my visit I can safely say that I'm feeling more relaxed and calm than I have been for years! It's the perfect way to "recharge your batteries". I look forward to repeating the experience again very soon. Thank you so much Karen!"- Mike, 2013
"I saw Karen recently for her 2 hour treatment having read all the positive and encouraging reviews here. As such my expectations were set for a blissful relaxing healing time. This proved to be the case right from when we spoke on the phone, to the welcome at the door and to the actual experience which was heavenly to say the least. She had me at ease from the word go so I left myself in her total caring hands and her healing skills do seem to have worked wonders with me: a less worried approach to work challenges, a calmer approach with loved ones and an energertic start to the day are welcome changes that I have observed in myself... Needless to say, I look forward to when I can meet up with Karen again... and again... Thank you very much Karen!".. RK Jul 2014"
"I have little to add about Karen that hasn't already been written by numerous highly satisfied clients. Suffice to say she is warm, earnest, selfless and totally committed to healing her clients in mind and body which is probably why her massage is peerless and profound. Karen aided me in getting to the root of my illness, easing my mind and symptoms and gently guiding me to understand myself better.
Long may you continue to spread happiness and wellbeing Karen" - Norman, 2014
"I met Karen just over a week ago and was truly touched! Two hours of the most incredible experience I have EVER had! Karen is AMAZING masseuse and a profound and powerful healer. Her treatment left me in a perfect place in mind body and soul - what MAGIC she weaved! I normally do not write reviews, hence my poor articulation, but I felt compelled to write this one. I won't spoil by writing my experience, just book a session and I promise you, you will see. If you have never had a massage or you have had many, a visit to Karen is a MUST! See you soon Karen X" - Nav, 2014

My posture & attitude, defeatist. Karen's hands upon me were on fire, I truly felt a deep connection and was comfortable enough to drift off a couple of times! When doing so, my mind was clear of it's normal clutter and noise. Absent was it's constant processing of work's to's & fro's. Karen's energy-connection to me was strong enough to block the negativity from my thoughts. Her ability to send me peace, strength and healing when I needed it most will be a debt I can never repay. I'm in awe of this lady's talents, humbled by her strength and feel blessed the universe chose to let our paths cross. At the risk of filling up her diary to the detriment of my next appointments, do yourself a favour and get in touch with this awesome lady. Your life will change for the better! I guarantee it! :) " - Jay, Buddhist 2014
"Where do I start to praise Karen?? I have had a lot of massages over the last few years and was looking for a rare and special experience which I have only once found before. I wanted to get in a state of deep relaxation, Forget about my usual work load, everyday troubles and stress. Feel like i was floating and dreaming and never wanting the dream to stop. I also wanted to sort out some ongoing back and leg aches. I found it with Karen. From the first contact to inquire about her treatment Karen responded with a warm and friendly response and seemed to have all the time in the world to answer any question I threw at her. She was understanding and seemed very knowledgeable. I explained what I wanted and she was more than happy to help.
On arrival the first thing I noticed was the warm friendly smile, straight away i was at ease.We sat and chatted for quite a time which was good as it gave her time to really understand me and my needs. She explained everything she would do during the session and how it will help in the long run.
As mentioned at the start I have had a lot of massages in the past and more to often they are so basic. Usually straight on the table and then a basic massage straight from a text book. Not with Karen! Her technique is unique, flawless, amazing! I drifted away so fast not even I expected it. The time flew by and I really could have done the 2.5 hours over again there and then. She listened to everything i said and addressed it down to a tee. Her touch had a loving feel and I could actually feel the glowing energy flowing from her hands.
I slept like I have never done before that night and the night after. On both occassions waking up ready to take on the work challenges feeling so uplifted and inspired! I felt like a whole new person... with no aches and pains whatsoever for the first time in how long I can remember! I took time to read Karen's website before the appointment and I would recommend anyone planning a visit to do the same. Get to understand Karen in order for her to understand you. I have already told Karen I will be back and I cannot wait. The most amazing experience ever. Karen is one Amazing, talented, beautiful and uplifting inspiring intelligent lady. Thanks Karen!" - Sean 2014
"I came across Karen by good fortune and lucky googling. After feeling like I needed to relax a bit and get a good massage after a very long hard week of training, her 2hr massage sounded ideal. My body, and if I’m honest, my mind are still thanking me for that decision (2 days later!). I feel like I have a whole new body and mind and my mood just keeps increasing as time goes on!
This is far more than just a massage, but if that is what you’re looking for, you will not be disappointed! It was undoubtedly the best I have ever experienced (and I’ve had a lot in my time as a Professional Athlete and bodybuilder). If I were a spiritual person I’d say that Karen is a very pure soul and that this comes through in her massage and healing. You really get a feeling of genuine care for your wellbeing and a sense of completeness about the whole process. As an outsider to the understanding of almost all the other factors that go into this healing massage, Karen was also very patient and respectful in her explanations to me. Again, her passion for the subject comes through. If you’re still wondering whether to book an appointment read the ‘My Background’ section of her site. It’s comprehensive! Thank you Karen" - Phil, Professional Athelete/Weightlifter, 2014
"The massage I had from Karen was wonderful beyond words, it was the most relaxing and effective massage I have ever had, true heaven. The way I felt the next day and since I had the 2 hour treatment a couple of weeks ago is amazing, I feel more relaxed and positive. Karen is a true pro at the holistic massage and rieki treatment she provides, in addition to this her energy passion enthusiasm and positivity cant help but rub off on you also! I had been struggling a little in my training and couldnt seem to make my time due to various personal stresses. Since the massage I have been thrashing my personal bests EVERY time! The massage has a lasting and exponential effect over time - this is NOT just a massage - it works on a deep unconscious and subconscious level - Mind body and Spirit. It is hard to describe! All I can say is if you are considering an appointment dont wait, just go ahead and book because you will not regret it that is for sure! This is far more effective than a Sports Massage and more enjoyable! I shall be going on a monthly basis to keep me feeling relaxed, balanced, calm and at peace with everyday life and of course to listen to her lovely music" - Robert (athlete), 2013
"Thankyou Karen for the most amazing massage and healing session I have ever experienced in my life - it is true! Karen is absolute MAGIC - there are no other words to describe the service she provides to tired souls... A complete de-stress and revitalising treatment. I havnt been able to switch off in such a long time and have suffered various constant aches and pains which no other therapist seems to have been able to shift - but one 2.5 hour session with Karen - and its ALL GONE!!!! Karen has an extremely powerful and valuable gift if that is the right term, which not only affects an individual but radiates out into the wider community like a ripple effect! I am so much happier, calmer, clearer than I have been in a long while, with greater focus and efficiency at work and in every day life in general which has been rubbing off on people around me! Karen you are like rocket fuel!!!! Karen is an instantly likeable kind caring and intelligent individual, and underneath her bubbly happy exterior is a deep and profound peace and love that transfers during the treatment. If you have not experienced Karen or her treatment, make sure you do.. you have had a life changing effect Karen and totally opened my mind to things Ive always previously dismissed. Keep up the good work Karen, and ill definitely be seeing you again very soon!" - Darren, 2014
"I feel very fortunate to have found Karen! She was so welcoming and warm that I felt completely comfortable from the first moment she met me at the door. She took time to chat to me and get to know a bit about me before starting her treatment and was so lovely. We could have chatted for hours and that alone is enough to make anyone feel great. The massage was EXCEPTIONAL. Karen is very thorough and it feels like she has several pairs of hands while she's working. My 90 minute massage ended up being more like 2 hours because Karen does what needs to be done and doesn't rush the process, working methodically to smooth out stressed muscles. I feel even better today than I did after my treatment yesterday. The tension in my shoulders and neck is gone and my lower back is fully mobile again and pain free, plus I feel energised and uplifted and in a much better mood with greater focus! Thanks Karen, you are awesome!"- Lynn, Guildford, Sep 2014
"Wow! This has got to be one of the most relaxing amazing massages I have ever had in my life! I never knew it was possible to be so relaxed and peaceful.. I think I had forgotten! That sound healing combined with Karen's Massage & healing skills is absolutely out of this world... I feel like a new man and would recommend this to anyone. I was highly stressed and run down with alot going on in my life and couldn't switch off. You cant help but switch off during one of Karen's massages/healing sessions - 2 hours of heaven on a couch! I will definitely be back for more!!!! Absolutely first class! and when you wake up the next day you will feel incredible, trust me! - Jamie
Karen was so welcoming and friendly, making me feel very relaxed before the treatment had even begun. Her massage was so thorough and proficient, and she really gave her all, both physically and spiritually. I would recommend her to anyone wanting healing for the mind or body. - Laurie
"I just had a lovely 2 hour massage with Karen yesterday and I would highly recommend her. She's very thorough and conscious of my needs, and I felt relaxed and rejuvenated afterwards. Today, I feel great, have been more productive in my work than normal, and my mood is great :) I'll definitely be going back to Karen again sometime soon!" - Rachel, Aug 2014
"Karen is a wonderful massage therapist and healer! The healing sessions I had with Karen were some of the most relaxing, healing, and amazing experiences of my life. The atmosphere was calm and tranquil. Although not used to massage treatments, or Reiki/healing, I felt completely at ease with Karen. The energy of love and acceptance that Karen carries with her made me know I was in safe hands. Before the treatment certain blockages kept appearing in my life. After the treatment I felt as though I had been set free! It was a profound liberation. If I lived in England I would definitely go back for another treatment, and would recommend Karen's therapies to anyone!" Will, Canada, 2011
"When I met Karen for the first time recently I was immediately struck by how quickly I became comfortable in her presence. She is a very likeable, caring and intellectual person and while I was there it felt as if we were the only two people in the world. Her two hour treatment was amazing and her attention to detail incredible. Nothing was rushed. In fact with the pre treatment chat and time spent with her after the treatment I was probably there for nearer three hours than two. I slept well that night (unusually) and the next day I had a spring in my step, both physically and mentally. I managed to get some old jobs done that had been building up due to my stress related lethargy. Well done Karen and thank you. - Derek 2014"
"What an amazing experience! After struggling with a back injury which occurred in a helicopter crash, I came to see Karen as part of my rehab. An amazing experience, mentally stimulating, spiritually relaxing and a talented massage practitioner. I'm quite a large guy and Karen was easily able to massage and manipulate me. A thorough consultation and tailored treatment to assist in my rehab. I left feeling very relaxed and over the next few days began to feel better and better and more positive in mind body and spirit with less aches, pains and stiffness than I have felt in a long while! Thankyou so much Karen for all your help! Looking forward to returning again soon." - Stuart, 2014
"I can't recommend Karen and her 2hr treatment highly enough. It's beautiful escapism that everyone needs but rarely takes in life. From the moment I arrived I felt completely comfortable with her. For the next two hours I felt like the most important thing in her life, we talked and then she worked on me till I left feeling balanced, recharged and as positive as I have felt in a long long time. An amazing experience that channels itself through Karen. What she puts into it (emotionally and physically) is what makes the difference and what makes it such an amazing experience!!! Thank you! x" - Phil, 2012
"Karen is amazing and gives a top class massage! The energy she has is very powerful and I could feel the heat from her hands! Karen is a very pleasant bubbly young lady and also very perceptive and can channel her energy where you most need it and you can feel it too! She is thoroughly professional in all aspects of the treatment and it is apparent that she has worked hard in her field of holistic healing. Karen is an inspiration and a pleasure to be around, I can't wait for my next appointment, thank you Karen, I feel amazing!" - Stephen, 2013
"Before I booked a holistic massage session with Karen I will admittedly say I wasn't exactly sold on the whole thing. I am open minded and like to try new experiences so I gave it a shot. Karen was very knowledgable of not just the holistic massage but also in spirituality and life in general. We had talked about a lot of that so I was definitely more open to trying this out. She had known I went through some rough patches and we both thought tho massage with the reiki could help heal some of that.
The massage itself was unbelievable. One word to describe it: nurturing. Both on the physical body and soul. It felt like I slipped away to a new plain and when I came to, I felt fresh and re-energized. Weird part is, the next couple of days were intense and you could almost call it a negativity dump of some kind and integration Karen's healing energies. My body was depleted and took a couple days to myself in bed to recoup from it. Very hard to describe but just feel like my body released so much of my stress and emotional pain that I needed to rest. After that I never felt more alive and healthy. Karen is the most positive and enlightened person I have had the pleasure to meet! Through the massage and just talking with her, you can feel she puts everything into you, love being the most noticeable and powerful of them all. Karen is simply a kindred soul that only ever wants the best for you. She is very sensitive to your vibrations and intuitive to your needs. I hope to experience this feeling again in life and intend on keeping Karen in my life in any way possible! She is missed here in Canada ALOT!" - Neil K, Canada
"Last week I had my first session with Karen, what an amazing 2 hours. I have had massages from a number of different therapists but Karen is one of the best I have experienced. The combination of massage and healing left me feeling great. After a good nights sleep the next morning I was full of energy, with a focus on work that I hadn't had for a long time. Thank you Karen, I will be making this a regular part of my life." - Damon, Feb 2014
"When I went to Karen for a massage I went as I do to most places - with an open mind. When I left there was only one thing on my mind - to go back for another as soon as I could! It was 2 hours of TOTAL BLISS where I was made to feel like a millionaire dollars, I hadn't a care in the world! Karen makes you feel very important and it feels like she puts a lot of Love and care and attention into what she does. I come along way to have a massage with Karen and the reason I do is you can guarantee a top class massage and a lovely genuine person to go with it!! Karen is truly wonderful!" - Paul, Worthing
"I was recently given a truly great massage from Karen, who is such a kind and relaxed person you immediately feel at ease with her. The treatment was completely focused on both my physical and emotional well being, it left me with a feeling of total calm and contentment (whicih is not how I usually feel!) As with many important life events, Karen's massage cannot be adequately described in words, it has to be experienced." - David R
"As a worker with peoples' life directions and well being (www.ysanne.com), I cannot endorse Karen highly enough regarding her skills. her massage and related abilities took me to a new level which was timely. Yes, the physical effect was healing and her presence reassuring and relaxed, but after the massage i had an overdue spiritual dream/experience - a connection with a soul love - and felt a joy and healing at a deep level. I thought her professionalism was good too and all in all will easily recommend her to people. Can't wait for my next session! - Ysanne, Life Coach
"I have had a lot of massage over many years. I have found Karen provides a thorough and innovative massage that meets my requirements exactly. The glow from the massage definitely leaves you craving another, I like that feeling!" - Paul

"I had a 2 hour Holistic Massage from Karen recently. I have to say that it was the most relaxing massage treatment that I have ever had. The blend of oil's that she used were perfect for me. I felt great for days after and very balanced" - Michelle
"Had my 1st appointment with Karen this morning, i was made to feel very welcome, Karen explained in detail the treatment i would be getting and is very knowledgeable in her field. It was a lovely, soothing and calming experience, will definitely be seeing her again. Thankyou Karen." - Martin, 2013
"I recently had my first session with Karen and went for the full body 2 hour massage which was truly amazing. From the minute you meet Karen you start to relax and during the session you seem to take on a different state, where you can almost say you are in another world. It was truly a wonderfull massage, where time was not an issue. This is definately one place i will be returning to." Jamie B. 2013
"Karen is a very genuine & caring young lady and I immediately felt at ease with her. Using a combination of techniques, she was able to take my whole body on a journey to a place of total peace and tranquility for two hours of total relaxation.
Since my visit I can safely say that I'm feeling more relaxed and calm than I have been for years! It's the perfect way to "recharge your batteries". I look forward to repeating the experience again very soon. Thank you so much Karen!"- Mike, 2013
"I saw Karen recently for her 2 hour treatment having read all the positive and encouraging reviews here. As such my expectations were set for a blissful relaxing healing time. This proved to be the case right from when we spoke on the phone, to the welcome at the door and to the actual experience which was heavenly to say the least. She had me at ease from the word go so I left myself in her total caring hands and her healing skills do seem to have worked wonders with me: a less worried approach to work challenges, a calmer approach with loved ones and an energertic start to the day are welcome changes that I have observed in myself... Needless to say, I look forward to when I can meet up with Karen again... and again... Thank you very much Karen!".. RK Jul 2014"
"I have little to add about Karen that hasn't already been written by numerous highly satisfied clients. Suffice to say she is warm, earnest, selfless and totally committed to healing her clients in mind and body which is probably why her massage is peerless and profound. Karen aided me in getting to the root of my illness, easing my mind and symptoms and gently guiding me to understand myself better.
Long may you continue to spread happiness and wellbeing Karen" - Norman, 2014
"I met Karen just over a week ago and was truly touched! Two hours of the most incredible experience I have EVER had! Karen is AMAZING masseuse and a profound and powerful healer. Her treatment left me in a perfect place in mind body and soul - what MAGIC she weaved! I normally do not write reviews, hence my poor articulation, but I felt compelled to write this one. I won't spoil by writing my experience, just book a session and I promise you, you will see. If you have never had a massage or you have had many, a visit to Karen is a MUST! See you soon Karen X" - Nav, 2014
