Fantastic. Karen, my therapist, was nothing short of splendid. It was obviously second nature for her to talk to customers in a natural, flowing style. Karen started the treatment by soaking then scrubbing my feet in a big bowl of warm water. She quickly put me at ease.

Feet dried, I lay on my front adorned only in paper knickers, covered in a weighty towel. Karen applied the ESPA rosehip seed and rosewood body scrub all over my back, before scrubbing me limb by limb. I then flipped over for the same on my front. Whilst I showered, Karen refreshed the bed and left me a fresh pair of pants. Next came one of my favourite parts of a body massage: being drizzled with hot rose geranium and palmarosa essential oil. In ESPA's true inimitable style, the delicate rose notes were just perfect.

Karen expertly pulled and stretched my body, paying particular attention to my eternally knotted shoulders. I asked for more pressure on my shoulders and neck, and Karen offered to use hot stones on my shoulders to get deeper into the muscle. Yes, please! The warmth and depth of pressure soothed my aching shoulders. I enjoyed the relaxing reflexology on my feet, too. Karen applied ESPA red and white clay to my hair and scalp with a mind-melting massage.

Karen finished my treatment with some reiki, and I left feeling deliciously calm and soothed. Karen made sure I was warm enough and comfortable throughout the treatment.

Karen kindly reminded me of my bearings and, feeling slightly disorientated, I went to lie down in the quiet relaxation room.

I have been coming to the Healing Room for seven years now and it is my place of calm.

Karen always makes me so welcome and her hospitality before and after treatments, makes the whole experience extremely pleasurable. Her vast knowledge of processes is immense and makes you feel secure in the environment.

It has helped me through times of crisis, but more often than not, I book a session just for the pure joy of the treatments.

My favourites are Reflexology, Reiki, Neck & Shoulder massage – great relief from the daily stress of life – and full body massage with all the fabulous Espa essential oils.

I recommend The Healing Room to all my friends and family, and many have been treated to vouchers for birthdays and Christmas!

I have been to spas all around the world and have had many different treatments, but Karen's touch and 5* before and after care and massage was the best I have ever received. I wish, Karen, I could put your hands in a bottle!

Goes without saying, you are the best!

Karen's holistic treatments are tailored to each individual. I just love Reflexology. It leaves me feeling as if I have had a full body massage. The calm aromatic surroundings make the whole experience an indulgent pleasure. Karen's knowledge and experience are first class, as is the very warm welcome we all receive

Karen, I came to you in a low state of energy. The hospitals had told me there was no reason not to conceive. Your touch and re-assurance to make me feel better was incredible – for 10 months you did Reiki, Reflexology, Diet, Crystals, the whole Holistic package. Thanks to you I found myself again – 2 lovely children and a 3rd on the way. Thank you Karen.

My son was in a state of manic depression. Karen was recommended to us. With thanks to Karen's co-operation, it has given him the confidence and balance he needed and is a regular once a month client to The Healing Room
