I’ve been a bi-monthly client of Claires for over 2 years (possibly 3?) and am eternally grateful I found her. Before Claire I had never heard of Amma therapy. I’d had acupuncture many times (but never really felt a huge amount of therapeutic benefit). I was a big fan of massage therapy to help me cope with muscle tension but it gave a very temporary relief.
Amma therapy (and Claires skill) turned out to be exactly what my muscles and nervous system were needing.

Claire is an exceptional bodywork therapist and human being. Her massage technique Amma has worked wonders on my health where Western medicine failed me, from severe nerve pain to chronic sinus infections. Claire is a wonderful individual, taking time and care in each session to tend to whatever is going on in my body. She has a confident yet gentle approach and I would recommend her to anyone, seeking general wellbeing or more acute resolution.
I’ve never had bodywork like this before, and it was truly eye-opening. The experience was incredibly beneficial, and Claire was outstanding—so knowledgeable and informative, giving me valuable tools to support a healthier lifestyle.
