Testimonials

"Roushan has been my massage therapist for over a year and I am continually impressed by the standard of treatment she provides, her professionalism and her kindness.  The overall benefits for me have been significant improvements to both my physical and emotional health, I can highly recommend the variety of services she offers, and the quality with which they are delivered."

"I went to see Roushan during a particularly difficult time. Roushan helped me first of all with a series of Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT) sessions and then with some Bach treatments. Roushan's personality, style, professionalism and kindness shone through from the first meeting. Roushan explained the details of EFT in a way that was easy to understand and to comprehend why I felt the benefit even after just one session. Roushan is an expert in Bach remedies too and she really listened to me to get the right combination for my bespoke treatment. I would recommend Roushan to anyone who is looking to understand what is happening in their life and their emotions."

"When I first met Roushan and started on the Bach remedies I felt lonely, scared and anxious. I was normally a very confident and happy person and found it difficult to understand what had happened to me and why I felt like I did. Roushan suggested the Bach remedies as something which would help me get back to where I wanted to be. I must admit I was a bit cynical about how such a simple thing could solve what I considered at the time to be the biggest problem I has ever faced however I thought there was nothing to lose and started seeing Roushan regularly and taking the remedies. To my great relief I found that a combination of the Bach Remedies and Roushan's understanding and logical approach to the way I was feeling started having a positive effect. It took about 3 months [1 consultation and 3 follow ups] and a number of changes to the remedies I was given to really make the difference but the end result is that I have now regained my confidence, feel no anxiety and can generally deal with whatever life throws at me. If you feel anything like I did I would give the Bach remedies a try."

"Last year I had an operation for bowel cancer, followed by a course of chemotherapy. During this time I had several massage treatments with Roushan, which I found very positive and helpful. I have just had my first checkup since then, and seem to be fine. I have no doubt that my sessions with Roushan helped the healing process."

"Roushan has run 2 workshops for our youth workers network, and has helped create a really relaxed atmosphere, whilst keeping us on track, learning about how to safely introduce complementary therapies to young women. Roushan is really reliable, flexible and professional, all done with a down to earth manner and honesty. She used a sensitive balance of listening, sharing her knowledge in a very understandable way and encouraging us to try things out ourselves. Her humour really helped as well as her ability not to shy away from difficult issues when they came up. She had encouraged me in the thinking it through stage and given lots of help and advice.
Feedback from the group was really positive:
'I loved how we learned without it feeling like being back at school. Roushan talked with us and helped us share our ideas and thoughts, though we'd never met before and I learned loads. It was informal yet focussed. we got through a lot without ever feeling talked at or pushed. Will be at the next workshop!!'
'Really enjoyed today. It was great to meet everyone. This was a fun workshop but I learned loads of things I can show the girls. They'd love some of this!'"

"I am completely amazed by EFT, had been prepared to stay totally unconvinced cos it does all sound a bit far-fetched. Why isn't everyone in the world using it?!?"

"Roushan knows exactly where I need most attention to knead away all the knots and tension, to leave me relaxed and revived!  For me - an oasis of calm."
