I was very nervous about going for a massage the first time, but Tamsin was so warm and understanding that it has now become a pleasure. I started seeing her due to migraines and I'm happy to report that I've not had one since seeing her.

I was getting regular headaches over lockdown when I was working from home on my laptop. I feel taller now! It’s nice to dedicate the time to have a massage. I feel more spacious. I feel like all the negative energy I’ve been holding for months has been released.

Tamsin has been doing pregnancy massage for me and I cannot recommend her more highly. She is thorough, listens and reacts to where your body has niggles and has particularly helped at 40 weeks+ (and that really uncomfortable stage). Would really recommend her services.

I had sacrum pain since giving birth to my daughter who is 13 months now. Immediately after the massage I felt a little tender around my lower back and pelvic area, which I expected, but I woke up and really felt very mobile - no stiffness at all. I feel like a new person!

Tamsin has an intuitive understanding of the body, finding and releasing tension with precision and care. I feel totally safe with her, she gets an amazing amount done in an hour without ever leaving me feeling rushed, bruised or overworked. She's super responsive to my feedback during sessions, and always checks each visit whether I want a more soothing massage or a proper pummelling in a problem area, so I get the right treatment for how I'm feeling.
I love how empathetic and reassuring she is; I feel like I get the full emotional and energetic benefits of a massage from her, alongside her obviously extensive anatomical knowledge. I'm very grateful to have met a massage therapist I trust so much both emotionally and medically. I've relied on massage to help with an old spinal injury, managing my M. E. and dealing with life's random injuries and strains for about 15 years, and I haven't met a better practitioner than Tamsin.

I used to do a walk in Keynsham that takes me 25 minutes and afterwards my hips were really achey. I used to put this down to old age until i cam for a massage with Tamsin. This week I did a longer walk for 40 minutes. I didn’t need my stick and there was no pain afterwards. I feel great!
I think all older people should see a massage therapist, they don’t have to put up with the pain.

I was over-stressed and feeling very unwell. Massage with Tam has really helped me relax and prioritise my well-being. I feel a sense of great wellness from it. After 2 massages with Tamsin I have lost the daily tension I had in my neck. I don’t think you realise how stressed you are until you have a massage and start to feel better.

Thank you Tamsin! Not only are your massage incredibly relaxing, they are also so restorative & rejuvenating. I didn’t realise quite how tense I was until you worked your magic & I can now move! Being a busy Mum running my own business I am now able to juggle everything I need to do better & more efficiently. I didn’t quite anticipate how much a regular massage would impact so positively on all areas of my life, enabling me to have the strength to support all the people I need to support. I can’t thank you enough.

Tam is a wizard. I’ve never experienced massages like hers. She seems to intuitively understand what my body is saying to her, far beyond tense and knotted muscles. Tam has a wonderful energy too, I feel safe and truly cared for in her calming and accepting presence. She’s a true gem and I really can’t recommend her enough.
Lotte

Always relaxed & rejuvenated after my visits to Tam. Tam is lovely & always listens to what you need. I can highly recommend!
Kirsty

I highly recommend Tam. She made me feel totally at ease and so relaxed.
Tam is very skilled and knowledgeable and tailors your massage to your personal requirements. She is highly professional, calming and caring. I would go so far as to say she has magic hands!
Anne

Tam has a warm personality and such positive energy. She will instantly make you feel at ease, and is very holistic in her care. She really listens and tailors her treatment to you. A very healing experience.
Lizi

Seen Tamsin 3 times now to assist my rehab following foot and knee surgery. I’ve really benefited from deep muscle massages as I regain my leg strength. I highly recommend.
Nick

The aches and pains have just gone. I feel revitalised. It’s really good for me to have a massage after I’ve been working on set for a stint, because I’m not super young anymore. It helps me to recover from work. It’s a young man’s game so I need to stay flexible. It basically helps me to do my job which is really physical.
Paddy

Gorgeous deep tissue with this beauty!
Highly highly recommend & glad I’ve found her! Thank you Tamsin. Just booked a 90 min next time xxx

Katie

I see Tamsin every 4 weeks or sometimes 3 weeks which improves my mobility no end. I have chronic arthritis and degeneration in my feet. Tamsin does them the world of good. I can’t walk barefoot without pain but after a treatment, I can - it is much easier.

Had a lovely relaxing foot massage. Would thoroughly recommend Tam and can't wait to book another treatment.
Emma

My feet are feeling like a new pair of feet since seeing you - I haven’t had even a niggle since so a massive thank you so much. Coming to see you not only gets my body feeling great, but it also helps me clear my mind and feel totally renewed.
Freya

Highly recommend Tam. Friendly, professional and one of the best massages I've ever had!

Had an amazing massage. Tamsin really knows her stuff. Would highly recommend.

I'm feeling thoroughly relaxed after my relaxation massage by Tamsin today. It was incredible! Lovely environment and made me feel very comfortable. Defo recommend a treatment.
Kylie

Went to see Tam after a sore shoulder was consistently hurting and effecting me when playing drums any sport etc. Really helped and all good now. Had three sessions and would highly recommend.
Andy

Tamsin is amazing. Sorted out an ongoing leg problem. Highly recommended
Clare

I had an hour treatment (massage and reflexology) and it was exactly what I needed, so relaxing and calming. Tamsin is professional, friendly and passionate about helping to improve my overall physical and emotional health. I would definitely recommend a visit.
Sharon

What a treat Friday! I finished teaching my last yoga session of the week at Trika, and nipped next door for a massage with the lovely Tamsin Oliver. What wonderfully healing hands she has! She listened to what my body needed and intuitively new how to fix me. I felt relaxed and in very capable hands. I hope I can make this a regular Friday, self-care routine! Thanks Tamsin X
Katy

Relaxing, professional, soothing massage from Tamsin. Would definitely recommend her.
Charlotte

I had my first massage with Tamsin today who was an absolute dream masseuse! Tamsin really understood my problem areas and gave an amazing hour & a half long deep (very much needed!) massage. Absolutely the best massage I’ve ever had! Thank you!
Jo

I had a few really rejuvenating massages off Tamsin early on this year before the pandemic. It would be great to have some more again soon xx
Janet

Like shedding old skin - I feel so much lighter and clearer. I love how relaxing and nourishing Tamsin's presence and touch are. Definitely recommend!
Rosa


I had a massage every 6 weeks for years with Osteopathy in-between. I really missed massage during lockdown. It proved it was doing me good because the time I wasn’t having it I was suffering. Pat (retired Massage Therapist) recommended Tamsin and I’m glad she did. Ellie (Osteopath) also recommended Tamsin.
Doreen

Everything is a bit back in place. My neck feels longer and my shoulder feel nicer. Clare (Osteopath) recommended Tamsin. I started seeing her for a neck problem, I couldn’t turn my neck, I couldn’t look over my shoulder to see the traffic when I was cycling. That’s cured now. Now I see her for regular upkeep and it’s just so nice.
Denise

Thank you, thank you Tam, Just woken up from a surprise snooze! I feel great. I can’t tell you how great my neck back and shoulders feel. Aaaaaaammmmmazzzzzzzzin! Weirdly I seem to be able to hear better - I had been a bit muffled.
Kate

I came because I’ve been struggling to sleep and had pain in my neck and needed complete stress relief, and it worked! After my first massage I was walking down North Street smiling at people! I felt really good. I had reflexology for the first time today and my feet feel great. Really relaxed. It’s hard to explain - they feel much lighter and the pressure points are really nice.
Sam

I came to see Tamsin because I have been struggling with tension in my upper body that has built up through lock down. I feel very relaxed now. My neck feels very soft, I feel very calm. It was so beautiful!
Jana

Hi Tam, it was just what I needed. My neck and shoulders feel so much looser and I am feeling more energised and positive. Have booked to start some yoga next week and want to take better care of myself. Also slept like a LOG! Thanks so much, hope to visit again soon.
Cat

I started coming to see Tam in early 2019. I’ve always suffered with tension in my shoulders, back & neck. I’ve come back because I’ve been sleeping on an airbed while we’ve been camping so my shoulders & neck are really painful again. I could’t turn my head without it hurting, but Tam has got me back on track!
Kirsty

I wake in the morning and my back is really painful and using the day my upper back gets gradually worse because I’m sat at a laptop. Now I feel great! It’s so much better thank you.
Emily

I had scoliosis correction surgery 4 years ago It was a massive shift in my body and I think it is still adjusting now I gets really tight. Even though I stretch it out with yoga I can’t reach it all. The massage was a really good release of pressure. Yesterday it hurt when I looked to one side. Now it feels so loose.
Natasha

Just wanted to say that virtually all the pain in my foot has gone.....leg is 90% better, sort bits have gone!
Richard

I have had a problem with my neck and shoulders which was causing me a lot of pain and I had difficulty moving my neck. It was there before I had my son but it’s definitely been exacerbated by feeding and carrying him. If feels much looser now and I have a lot more movement The stiffness doesn’t come back for much longer which is amazing. It makes chasing after a toddler much easier!
Sian

I felt wonderful after my massage! You really released that knot and I haven’t had the same tension in my head and jaw since. Was also just super relaxing and just what I needed.
Joan

My knee has been painful for at least 5 years. After the massage and reflexology I noticed how much better my right knee and leg are and how the swelling had reduced and thus mobility of my right knee had improved. Thank you!
Harriette

I love seeing Tam and often as I can for massage. She has a magic touch! I always leaving feeling 100% more relaxed.
Simon

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and I’ve had quite a few massages with Tamsin. I felt extremely calm and grounded after my massage. I slept better than I have done in a while, for at least 2 nights! The reflexology and head and neck really added to my relaxation.
Stella

It’s way more of a self-care experience for me, more than anything else. I leave feeling completely peaceful in my body.
Finn

For me it’s about enjoying sometime for myself because I’m a new Mum and taking care of a long standing shoulder issue. Being at a desk is a BIG trigger. Laptops are bad! My shoulder has gradually been getting better and Tamsin’s massage is an important part of that.
Alice

I feel like I could climb a tree after that massage!
Becky

It’s like being put back into your own body. Thank you.
Kate

You sit down after a massage and you’re glowing. Your body feels rejuvenated. I recommend Tamsin to anyone.
Karl

You have recentred my energy for the rest of the day. I arrived feeling one way and now the rest of the day has a completely positive focus.
Sitheag

I find it a massive stress relief, physically and mentally. In my 20s I would happily have spent 4x as much money on a night out and destroyed my mind and body! But now I’d rather do this - it’s healthy.
Blue

This is doing me so much good on so many levels. There is a layer of angst that has gone.
Caroline

That’s the best massage I’ve ever had. It’s like dancing on my back.It’s one fluid movement that is so effective because it calms my nervous system.
Magda

I felt absolutely fantastic after my last massage. You cured my back
Pippa

Your massage released my anxiety. I was feeling claustrophobic and now it’s gone. You have so much on your mind (during pregnancy). It’s connected me so much more to my baby - I was so anxious before.
Danielle

I love arriving into your oasis of calm!
Sarah

Well worth every penny. Probably the best massage I’ve ever had, thank you.
Leoni

I’ve been either pregnant or had a small baby for the past 5 years. I feel like my muscles are weak. My lower back hurts and 6 weeks ago my neck started hurting. The pain in my lower back has now gone! And my neck is a lot better. I don’t have to think about it anymore. I feel like you are undoing 5 years build up of tension.
Simone

Thank you Tam for a wonderful massage/reflexology. My mind was over-thinking and I couldn’t relax because I’ve been so stressed but as soon as you touched my feet I was off to another dimension! It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. I’m hooked! I slept all night for the first time in at leat a month. I feel amazing!!
Clare

Massage got me through (Jason has a prolapsed disc and was in a great deal of pain). I look forward to it every week. I come away feeling so much better, and more positive - that there is a solution. It helps my body and my brain. It helps my brain move away from the fact that I’m in pain and I think about the body as a whole. It is a welcome relief which eases all the tensions caused by the pain - in my body but also pain negatively affects your thoughts. Massage makes me feel positive again. It has been a weekly time stamp on my road to recovery.
Jason

Thank you so much for yesterday I don’t think I’ve slept that hard for months and the only difference is I came to you in the morning so must have been your magic hands.
Rashida

It was such a wonderful massage. I honestly felt like a new person walking out.
Kat

Katie has long covid:
I have painful ribs which massage helps. Massage and reflexology loosens and opens my chest allowing me to breathe more freely. Straight after the massage I was able to cough to clear my chest, which I couldn’t do before. There is a life impact from long covid so being able to fully relax your body really helps me. I hold the stress and tension in my body which massage relieves which also helps my lungs.
Katie

I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 10 and over many years this has caused loss of function in my joints and lead to very tight and tense muscles. I came to Tamsin in a lot of pain, using a walking stick and with injuries to my ham string and calf muscle due to profound muscle knotting caused by walking with l foot deformities.

I was in despair that I could recover, but after a handful of sessions of deep tissue massage and reflexology Tamsin turned me around and set me on the path to recovery from my injuries.

Her deep massage significantly reduced muscle knots and stiffness, reflexology increased mobility in my foot and ankle, my pain reduced dramatically and I can now walk without relying on a stick.

I would not be as pain free and mobile as I am now without having been treated by Tamsin and I believe there is a huge benefit to be had for RA sufferers from this type of treatment.
