Testimonials

  • "When I made my appointment, I was feeling rather low, my lower back and limbs were painful and I was not doing my usual distance walking. I was also feeling very stressed. Edwina took a full case history and I really felt that she was truly interested. The session was most relaxing, with soft pipe music playing in the background, laying on the futon with only the occasional request from Ed to move or turn. Her manner alone is enough to make you feel chilled!" After the session I have to say I was totally relaxed and energised. I could not believe how well I felt and certainly had a 'spring in my step' again. From now on Shiatsu is the treatment for me. It definitely has my recommendation."

  • “Edwina is a very kind and intuitive Shiatsu practitioner. She listened very carefully to me and asked me what I wanted from the Shiatsu. I felt very nurtured and held in the space and knew that Edwina was a very thorough and competent Shiatsu Practitioner. I went for stress and mid-life balance and I can honestly say that Edwina's Shiatsu treatment was like doing a course in calming meditation. I would thoroughly recommend her as a practitioner. If you need to get some much needed nurturing in our life, then book an appointment and take some time to feel a whole lot better in Edwina's kind hands'

    — Gaynor, Tutor, Greenwich

  • “I have been going to Edwina for Shiatsu for a number of years now and each time I go the treatment seems different and sometimes it occurs to me to ask her to record exactly what she has done so that she can repeat it. And then I tell myself not to bother as I know from experience she will do something different again next time...and here's the thing; it will be precisely what I need in that moment. Sometimes I will say I feel exhausted and she knows to do Shiatsu that will re-energise me, or conversely on the odd occasion I have asked to feel treated and she has given me a treatment that has left me with a glorious feeling of well-being. Either way, every time I have had it, I feel a lot better when i leave! I work in a stressful (but very fulfilling) job that often depletes me. Shiatsu with Edwina enables me to do that better, as well as feel healthier and happier in general in all of my life. Like I say in different words each time: you are very good at what you do!

  • "Edwina is like a little fairy in my life. Each session with her is unique, authentic and saving. Thanks to her caring and her availability, I feel a sense of connection during our treatments and this allows me to experience deep and lasting relaxation of my body and mind."

    Marianna, French Psychologist, Kent

  • "...the Shiatsu is so holistic, one can face the world so positively afterwards, feeling relaxed and with such a clear, calm mind. Edwina's Shiatsu is just enhancing and each treatment is a new, positive experience so one returns for more."

    Rachel, Psychiatrist, London

  • "For the past 3 years I have booked Edwina to do Seated Shiatsu at my Christmas Party. She does a fantastic job, doing over 3 hours of massages to a constant streak of very happy women. Her warmth and skill shines through and thank you's always contain glowing reviews for Ed."

    Kate, Executive Producer, BBC

  • "I started to have Shiatsu to help my stiff neck. I had been getting worse and worse and was unable to turn my head without turning my whole body round. Once I started the massage, I began to feel the benefit almost immediately. The massage was firm but not painful and it made me feel very relaxed by the end of the session. It has certainly helped my neck and back pain and now I go for shorter maintenance sessions. I found Edwina reliable, approachable, knowledgeable and informative and would certainly recommend her as a Shiatsu Practitioner."

    BS, Teacher, London

  • "I have found Edwina to be an extremely competent and highly qualified Practitioner. From the moment the treatment begins there is excellent reception and care. The surroundings are beautiful. After every session, I feel deeply relaxed and there is a real nourishing quality to this work. I can highly recommend this treatment and look forwad every time I attend a session, which is on a regular basis roughly every 10 days. I am so glad that I have found Edwina and this natural treatment which helps the body to feel balanced and re-aligned again. I believe everybody could benefit from this treatment which is the perfect antidote to the busy day to day rush."

    Heidi T, Psychotherapist

  • "I have found Shiatsu to be very beneficial during my pregnancy. I initially sought treatment to help alleviate SPD symptoms after advice from my physio but found that not only did treatments help my physical state, enabling me to be mobile throughout my pregnancy, but also my emotional wellbeing. Treatments with Edwina provided the opportunity for my body to relax and recuperate from the effort of carrying baby and also helped release anxieties pending the birth. Having had Shiatsu from several Shiatsu Practitoners in the past, I highly rate Edwina's skill and would recommend her treatments to others as she very much tailors her treatments to the individual and offers and empathetic approach."

    Linda, Lewisham

  • "I thoroughly recommend Edwina's Shiatsu treatments. From the start, she put me completely at my ease through her warmth, friendliness and professionalism. Shiatsu was new to me and I was surprised by the truly holistic approach and how it involved a consideration of various health and emotional concerns. Edwina explained it all clearly, and remembered so many details about me even when there were big gaps between sessions! I found the treatments really relaxing and brilliant at relieving pain and tension in my muscles, as well as having a really positive effect on my general health, energy levels and sense of wellbeing. Thank you Edwina!

    Melanie, Musician

  • "The loss of some close members of our family left me drawn mentally which in turn affected my health. I was feeling so low I knew at this point that I needed help. I was recommended to have Shiatsu massages and they really helped me unwind through the years and make me feel better mentally and physically. I had my life back. I now keep my health in check with regular visits to Edwina who not only apply the right massage needed at the time but also make me understand my own body. Something we should all be aware!

    M, Tutor, Orpington

  • Following an appendix operation, I virtually stopped riding my bike. If I made an effort on the hills, I would have severe discomfort for days afterwards, the same happened if I lifted heavy items. The NHS response was 'these things happen, you will have to put up with it.' About 20 years after the operation , I discovered Shiatsu. Six treatments later, no discomfort after efforts on the bike, nor when lifting heavy weights. I've also had Shiatsu treatments for my back and also to restore energy when I'm run down.

    Bob, Bigfoot CC

  • Over the past two or three years Edwina has offered ‘Seated Shiatsu ‘sessions in my workplace, during the lunch break. I found this invaluable as I had a bad case of stiffness in my neck and shoulders which needed to be addressed but I never seemed to have the time to go somewhere to have it seen to. It was such a relief when Edwina agreed to offer sessions in school and she was never short of clients! These weekly sessions really helped my neck and once that problem was rectified I just carried on having shorter sessions for pure relaxation. It was a pleasure and so convenient. I can thoroughly recommend ‘Seated Shiatsu’ as a help for relaxation and for ironing out other problems.

    Barbara S, School Teacher

  • I started shiatsu with Edwina about 3 months ago through an “accidental” google search. I do also know deep inside that nothing is accidental and decided to have a go even though I was not familiar with the practice. Three months in and what a difference, Edwina really helped to ease some of the deep trauma long time suppressed in my body, she supported to gather my inner balance and feel again free spirit. Each time I finish the session, I feel calm, composed, full of energy and light like a feather. Hard to describe the feelings and body as a whole … something like …"your mind is a stream of colours, extending beyond our sky” GVF . Thank you Edwina!

    Natalia, Corporate Finance

  • My shiatsu treatment was really good!! I After the session, I went for a run. After warming up, I found a flow state, like I was free. I felt I could go on for ever! Beforehand, I had felt creaky in my running...I felt I got improved proprioception from my treatment and now know what its like to have my pelvis in the right position...was an amazing feeling!

  • I’ve started my first shiatsu massage less than two months ago and I am in love with it already :) Definitely, I am struck by its power to release body and mind tensions so quickly! I am so happy that I discovered Edwina and her calming and nurturing Shiatsu Space. Edwina is a very professional, experienced, kind and caring practitioner. I am impressed with her utmost care, attention to details and intuition to feel my body and respond carefully to any hurting or tensed areas and needs . I really like Edwina’s style to explore my priorities for each session, discuss the impact of treatment in between visits, and allow time for brief checks on how I feel at the end. Also, she is always happy to answer my queries, help me understand how my body responds to Shiatsu and makes recommendation for home practice. Definitely, l feel more in tune with my sensations and emotions, nurtured, lighter and more relaxed after each treatment. But also ready to take a nap 😴 Usually, these benefits are maintained for a week or so afterwards providing that I look after myself well. Since I’ve stated Shiatsu with Edwina, I became more physically active and committed to different self-care practices. For example, I am able to pause more often to listen to my body and engage in small exercises such as body tapping or self-massage that help me to release daily stresses and tensions. I can’t recommend enough Edwina for her wholesome treatments, compassionate approach and magic hands. Much gratitude to a wonderful practitioner and human being!

  • "Thank you so much for my session this afternoon. It certainly exceeded my expectations and suspect it will continue to do so for the next few days, if not longer! I look forward to my next session."
