Jess is an experienced practitioner who enjoys finding how to help you improve your health and sense of well-being. She uses Therapeutic Massage and Craniosacral Therapy to help your body change and adapt.

Massage Therapy

Massage gives pain relief for many people and eases physical, emotional and mental stress. I have worked with clients who have had conditions such as: muscle strains and sprains, carpal tunnel syndrome and other RSIs, frozen shoulder, arthritis and spondylosis, headaches and migraine, sciatica, backache, difficulties with sleeping, anxiety and stress, and major life changes. Many have found relief from pain and some a long term solution to the issue.

It is often helpful to come for a course of treatments initially so that changes can become established and underlying causes addressed. Many people then come for a regular session to 'top up' and help them to feel their best. I have started working with people going through major life changes and these clients have reported finding help through the support that I give them.

At the first appointment I will ask you about your current situation and medical history and check that you are under medical supervision for any serious condition. We can then decide what you would like in the session.

I then get the couch ready for you. For massage with oil, underwear only is worn; for craniosacral therapy you just need to be in comfortable clothes. During the session I will make sure you are settled, warm and relaxed. There is no need to chat, but I will ask you how you are getting on and discuss the treatment with you. At the end of the session there is time for you to come to slowly and ask any questions.

Jess works confidently and intuitively and the sessions vary. Depending on how I was feeling and how, where and what type of therapy was applied I have left feeling grounded and centred, or energised and refreshed, or deliciously languorous.

I have been having massage therapy with Jess on an irregular basis for five years and have learned a good deal about what makes my body tick and how to work with it. This has all combined to make my body, which is displaying symptoms of 'wear and tear', considerably more at ease physically.

I have happily recommended Jess to others whose reasons for having massage or cranial sacral therapy naturally differ to my own and they, too, have been pleased.

I use massage therapy to help with many conditions, especially for muscle and joint pain and to reduce the effects of stress. A fortnightly or monthly massage is a great way to keep on top of daily life if you find things can become too much for you.

I can offer a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your situation or you can book in for an initial session to experience how I work.

Sauna and Flotation Tank

If you want you can combine a massage with a sauna or flotation tank session at Cotswold Health Centre. A float is expecially helpful for destressing and a sauna for easing joint pain. Please phone the clinic for more information and to book an appointment.

All testimonials are from clients who have worked with me, some of them over a number of years. These are their words and are entirely their own opinion and feelings about their sessions with me.
