Following your work, the improvement in the swelling of my foot was nothing less than instant and amazing! Literally, from the day after I saw you and since, the hugely uncomfortable, 'it's about to burst' feeling that I'd had every evening was gone - I can't tell you what a relief it is!
A couple of days after I saw you I had the next appointment with the physio at Cumberland Centre - I see him in the early morning when the ankle's usually at it's best, but even so the very first thing he said was how much less puffy it looked, and was hugely impressed (I name-dropped like mad!) He was also very approving of the exercises you'd recommended, particularly the one standing backwards on the stairs...
Now, a couple of weeks later, the really sharp, wince-making pains have gone too - it all still feels a bit achy and fragile but I'm walking more or less normally, can manage stairs properly and haven't needed any pain relief at all the last few days. Yippee!
So, VERY many thanks, Lucy - your skill really did boost the healing process in a big way, and I'm delighted to find myself feeling so much better so much earlier than I expected.

From the perspective of an office worker who sits hunched in front of a computer all week, Lucy's treatments are brilliant. In the past, my bad posture had led to stiffness in my neck and shoulders causing headaches and other problems. A deep tissue massage from Lucy, combined with her infectious smile and practical advice and the tension just slides away...
However, from the perspective of a rugby player who gets mauled on a regular basis, Lucy's treatments are a god-send. Her anatomical knowledge, supported by her professionalism and competence in sport and remedial massage therapy have proved invaluable to me...
I cannot thank her enough and I cannot recommend her highly enough. To anyone reading this, I would say.. Go on, treat yourself, you won't regret it...

As a Physiotherapist I believe in the beneficial effects of massage and have referred many of my patients to Lucy for her skilled "hands on" treatment.
As a client of Lucy's myself I know the therapeutic results of her work have helped me greatly and I find her remedial massage invaluable in dealing with muscle tension and the after effects of injury or overuse through sport
Lucy's professional approach and caring manner along with her wide skill base are the reasons that I would not hesitate to recommend her.

I admit I was a bit nervous and unsure of what to expect from my first holistic massage, but Lucy's friendly and utterly professional manner put me at ease immediately. Her massage was top rate and she treated me with utmost respect. I was quite taken with the entire experience and I look forward to my next session. I've already recommended her to several of my friends. Truly wonderful!

I had never been for a massage before and was very nervous about, but I had a really bad back and shoulders so thought it was a good option. I went to Lucy and straight away she put me at ease describing what she was doing and what would be good for me, I had a hour session with her and believe me I could not believe the difference the next day. I have now been going back on a regular basis and tried a couple of other treatments which have just been as good. So I highly recommend Lucy to anyone who is debating going for a treatment.

I cannot recommend Lucy highly enough her skills in sports massage enable me to enjoy my sport to the full I would recommend anyone who is involved in sport to treat themselves to a massage with Lucy you will be surprised how it can improve your game.

As I suffer with quite severe muscular tension in my shoulders and neck as a result of my continuous computer use, I find Lucy's massages wonderfully relaxing and therapeutic. Her knowledgeable advice on stretching exercises has also been a great help.

Whenever I come down to Plymouth I love having one of Lucy's holistic facials they are so relaxing!
After a long week at work an Indian Head Massage really sorts my headaches and eyestrain out.
I think Lucy is brilliant and she has done me the world of good. I really don’t think I would be so well without having met her!

Lucy asked me to be one of her case studies for 'The Dorn method' as I suffer from scoliosis. It was truly amazing even after the first session! My posture seemed better and my whole body just felt realigned along with less pain. I had never heard of this method before but would certainly have it again and recommend it.
Denise Greiner - Plymouth
I have Advanced Degenerative Bone Disease in my neck and regular Hot Stone massages from Lucy have worked really well with my pain medication to give me some relief from the constant pain and immobility. In fact it is safe to say that the combination of Lucy’s massage skills and traditional medication has literally kept me upright and mobile over what has been a very difficult year.
I can’t recommend Lucy highly enough, her skills at massage and now with the Dorn Method are second to none.
After having The Dorn Method treatments I felt like I had grown 2 inches taller! I suffer with my back and I do have scoliosis and before this treatment I would always have to rotate my hips to click my back into place but I have not had to do that since this treatment.
I have been lucky enough to have a few treatments in some very expensive Spa’s but none of them have been as beneficial or professional as Lucy. Don’t think about booking a session, do it, trust me you will be very glad that you did!
Sharon Russell - Matron, Derriford Hospital Plymouth
Lucy was recommended to me by a good friend of mine. I had an ache in my neck and shoulders. I had 3 sessions of The Dorn Method with Lucy and the improvement were visible even after the first session: better posture, no pain in my shoulders and neck, feeling invigorated and relaxed at the same time. She showed me some exercises to do at home which were easy to follow. I would recommend The Dorn Method for anyone who has got troubles with the back or neck pain, it feels so natural for the body to follow!
