As a massage therapist myself, it hasn’t always been easy to find a therapist that could really satisfy my expectations. So, when my wife booked me a session with Laura for a Thai Yoga massage, I was cautiously optimistic that it would be effective, and having trained in basic Thai massage I had some idea of what was coming. Laura’s treatment blew me away. She is warm, friendly and put me at ease instantly. From the moment she made contact with me, I instantly recognised her well informed touch, sensitivity to pressure and understanding of the body. Intuition can be gained through the development of technique and anatomical study, but some possess an innate ability to know exactly what is needed; Laura is one of them. She pressed, mobilised and stretched me with amazing deftness and skill. As she worked, I could feel a sense of space in my body that I haven’t felt for some time and toward the end of the treatment I was filled with a profound sense of gratitude.Post treatment, my body felt light, supple and relaxed. I slept wonderfully and, in the days following, I found that I was thinking with more clarity, had more energy and was able to concentrate for longer periods. Writing a review has never been so easy. Quite simply, Laura is a special therapist. She has certainly made a long-term client out of me and I wholeheartedly recommend her. Amazing.

Laura instantly makes you feel incredibly comfortable and puts you at complete ease. She is a wonderful masseuse and quickly becomes very in tune with your body and what is going on with certain points of tension etc. I feel like I am floating off when she finishes. I struggle badly with headaches and she manages to solve them immediately and resolve any tension build ups that may cause aches in the future. Couldn’t recommend her any higher.

I had a fantastic deep Thai massage from Laura towards the end of my stay at the the Greenman festival, not only did I feel totally invigorated, she really helped heal my back pain that I had been suffering with for a few weeks, it was one of the highlights of the festival for me! Can’t recommend her highly enough, thank you Laura and look forward to seeing you next year x

I could never go to another masseuse, whatever headspace I’m in/ whatever state my body is in I always come out feeling calmer, more relaxed and more aware of how to be gentle with/ look after myself. Laura will fully adapt the session to whatever you want to get out of it and target areas of tightness and pain in such a gentle way. Relieved knots in my shoulders I think I’ve had half my life! Fully fully recommend ❤️

I haven't stopped recommending Safer Space Holistic since I had my first massage with Laura - she is amazing! An incredibly warm and friendly person, she put me at total ease whilst working her magic. Even in a short session, she was able to hone in on problem areas and release a lot tension. It was exactly the treatment my body has needed for a long time, and I will be going back as soon as possible! Thank you Laura! :)

I had a wonderful Thai yoga massage at Green Man festival. It was my first one and I really enjoyed how it's more tactile than the usual massage I am used to. Laura was professional and was able to focus on some target/problem areas and I felt relaxed and more aligned afterwards - which was much needed at a festival! Thank you!

I received the most amazing Thai massage from Laura while I was on holiday. I felt instantly at ease in her company and was able to really relax and enjoy the experience. She listened to some of the concerns I had before starting and adapted her practice to fully meet my needs. I enjoyed it so much I bought a session for my partner. I only wish she was local to where I lived as I’d love to have that experience regularly. Highly recommend.

Laura was wonderful, welcoming and reassuring. The massage was wonderful and the conversation inspiring. I would deeply recommend them to folks who might be nervous about seeing a body worker or not had a massage before. I saw them in a tent at a festival and was delighted to hear they lived just up the road from me, looking forward to seeing them again. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Laura enough. She has not only helped me with my physical pain, but she makes each session individual to my needs that day. Laura takes time to learn about what is going on in my body and mind to ensure the treatment is beneficial and enjoyable. Having a chronic illness it can be hard to find practitioners who understand and take into account the problems that the illness can have on the body and mind. Laura took time to learn more about chronic illnesses and then bring those findings to each session.
She is gentle and kind and open to everyone.

I suffer from severe back pain due to long hours standing at work, but after just one full-body massage session I felt like a whole new person. I remember how I could literally perceive energy being finally released and then flowing from my aching joints into and through my body. This experience gifted me with a pleasant feeling that lasted for days. Funny fact: at the end of the massage I actually fell asleep! Absolutely love it and can't wait for more!

I've had one treatment with Laura so far and it was incredible. I have been suffering with lower back and left hip issues for over year, and the week after my treatment was the first full pain free week i've had since it all started. It's an intense style of massage, and new to me, but 100% worth it. Coupled with being pain free, i felt much more agile and strong - a huge relief mentally as well as physically after so long.

I met Laura at Greenman festival and I had one of the best massages I’ve ever had! Laura knew exactly where I had pain and used some great techniques. I would highly recommend to all of my friends!

Had a great time being taken care of by Laura! The atmosphere she set up went perfectly along with her energy and the massage itself made me feel so much lighter. I really recommend her to anyone who needs a moment to focus on the well being of their body and a spiritual break. xxx

Laura’s Thai Yoga Massage was without doubt the best massage I have ever had. In the past I’ve had sports, Thai (in Thailand), Swedish, Indian head, aromatherapy and hot stones massages, as well as reflexology and the Bowen Technique, and Laura’s knocked spots off them all. I believe she has a very special, deeply intuitive talent and I enjoyed the benefits of her work for weeks afterwards. Highly recommended. 😄

Laura has a natural intuition that connects with your body, mind and soul. You will undoubtedly leave her feeling nourished, rejuvenated and connected to yourself, she makes you feel so comfortable it really is magical. With just her hands she reminded me that nurturing myself is so important. I have had a few massages now with Laura and I have to say that I am 100% hooked! Regular and extremely happy customer here. Thank you Laura!
