We all have our unique story
It is written in our body.
“I have had many massages so I feel confident saying that the massage I had at Knead was one of the best . “Relaxed atmosphere with professional service. Everything explained , and check ins throughout to gauge how the experience was going . Came away feeling totally peaceful and felt relief from back ache the next day””
“Fiona is fantastic!!! She is so intentional with her message and is able to intuitively know where the pain is and how to help support the healing process!”
Oh Wow❣️ What an amazing total experience,really just perfect in every way, the warmth, you don’t feel exposed in any way, lovely oils & smells ,music,so comfortable, DIVINE MASSAGE my body felt so ‘looked after’.
I floated away home like a cloud,I’m now a regular, and really feel like I’m doing the right thing for my body.
Highly recommend ❤️ Lisa M
“Fiona, you have been a delight to know, my husband who is suffering from very bad pain from a special injury was given a voucher for a holistic massage.! Of course, we were both sceptical of its healing properties but after a lovely relaxing massage with Hemp Balm, he became the man I used to know rather than a grumpy person that was always in pain.
Because he is in the older age bracket he was sceptical about but the benefits has overcome this,
Thank you, Fiona, I look forward to treatment soon. ”
This client has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, I have a few clients that have been diagnosed with this.
“I had my first treatment of MLD following recovery from COVID, as my lymphatic system still seemed to be on 'overdrive'. Later, that year I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Hypermobile syndrome and POTS (autonomic nervous system dysfunction). I finally understood why my body was reacting this way. I became far more conscious of the need for external support, to both calm my nervous system and create greater awareness of my body. Having MLD and Holistic massage with Fiona brought me into a deep state of relaxation and reset that was a real challenge to get to by myself. MLD is very gentle and repetitive, it calmed me, I didn't know I needed this. I now have a greater understanding of the role that the nervous system plays in my EDS and can reset my nervous system to manage my long-term. “
This client has a very complex history of leg issues, still the diagnosis is unsure lipoedema, lympodema and has much to share. She is also a counsellor, ask me for her details if you would like to speak to her
Fiona is one of those special practitioners that can be hard to find and when you do find you do not want to let go of - those ones that not only address the issue you present with but see you as an individual, creating a safe place for her to walk alongside you as you explore the best pathway for you.
In my time with Fiona, I feel like she has taken the time to get to know me, to understand not only the physical impact of the lymphedema in my legs but also the emotional, spiritual and mental impact it has had on me over my lifetime. She has created a space where I feel safe, heard and seen as the person I am. Fiona is passionate about educating her clients so they can be empowered to help themselves and be curious about how they can explore the different options available to them but also she is passionate about education for herself and is happy to explore further the things that come up that may not be in her expertise, this is something I find reassuring.
Fiona’s ongoing education for herself shows in her deep understanding of the lymphatic system and how in plays a part across all our other systems including the nervous system and the impact that this can have on our day-to-day lives. Honestly, I find it easy to recommend Fiona to anyone who has an impaired lymph system, you will find someone in her that is non-judgemental, supportive and truly in your corner.
Post Mascetomy client
"I actually thought having breast cancer, twice, would be the worst thing or even the chemotherapy, but it's the scars that remind you every day of what you have been through. Constantly feeling the pulling every time you stretch or reach out for something. It's like someone tapping you on the shoulder and saying 'Remember you had cancer and it was cut out of you!'
When Fiona suggested scar release I was not keen. The idea of someone pressing on my scars made me feel queasy. I agreed because next year I'm sixty and I promised myself in my 59th year I would try new things to help my wellness.The first session was exactly what I thought it would be, I felt queasy even though Fiona was touching me so very gently. I think if I hadn't felt so safe with Fiona I would have not carried on, but oh my gosh I am so glad I did. Every session got easier and I noticed I touched my scars much more than I had previously, they felt just like any other flesh on my body. At pilates and swimming, I noticed how much freer my scars felt, the skin around them moved with me.
Another 'wellness in my 60s' crossed off my list. I will always have the physical scars of my cancers, but I only noticed them when I glimpse them in the mirror and they have even softened in colour since the scar release too." Please note the picture is not my client.
