I am actually WELL overdue for giving a review here as I've actually been seeing Amy for about two years now and that alone should say a lot about what I think about Amy's massage.
I have scoliosis and chronic back pain as a result, and monthly massage therapy with a skilled therapist has always been a very important part of my personal maintenance and self care, and Amy has been a huge part of my increased mobility and decreased pain over these past couple of years. Not only is she incredibly skilled with relaxation and soothing tight muscles, but she is highly knowledgeable around chronic issues like scoliosis as well. As many have mentioned, her communication is spectacular and the tailored experience you get because of it is basically second to none.
I basically can never leave London now because I don't know what I'd do without Amy! - Allie
Amy is wonderful. I've had various massages and therapeutic chats with her over the course of a long friendship and she is perfectly sensitive to my physical disabilities and in the first line of people I'd trust to make me feel safe. - Nicole
Just had my first massage in ages with Amy, was absolutely amazing Still recovering from surgery in December, and felt like she got my foot working again, and loosened up my legs properly after months of tightness
Thank you - Jacob
Had such a lovely massage from Amy recently. It had been far too long since I had one and she had a lot to work with! I also experienced one of her famous scapular releases and honestly I swear my body still feels good from it all. Trying to be more aware of my posture and where I hold tension now, and very much looking forward to my next one. - Zena
I am the squishiest & floatiest of jellyfish after seeing Amy this afternoon! Everything hurts less and feels more like its in the right place. If you've not got one booked at the mo then I highly recommend you get on that. Treat yourselves! - Jenni
Amy honestly is phenomenal. I went and got spine and shoulders reset with her again and I look forward to seeing her every time. She takes such good care of you from start to finish, and is such a delight to be around. Couldn’t recommend her enough! - Anna
I've been getting massages with Amy for a few years now, and I try to go monthly to stay on top of my cranky body. Amy is fantastic, so friendly and warm, and she has become a friend not just my massage therapist. I'm always amazed at her ability to hone on even the tiniest painful knot in my muscles, and the way she resets my shoulders I feel like a different human leaving an appointment. 10/10, would recommend. Thank you Amy! - Daisy
I once
Was potato
But now
I am mash - Maddy
I had my first session with Amy yesterday, it was so lovely to chat beforehand and prepare myself for what was to come. You made me feel really comfortable and cared for and got deep into very knotty knots and misaligned alignments! Thank you xx - Kata
Just had a massage after Many Much Time, and Amy is as wonderful as ever. Also really appreciate the care she put in, taking into consideration the huge gaps there have been between being touched, and ensuring I felt safe and looked after. And relaaaax... - Ness
Had my first massage with Amy yesterday, and definitely the best I’ve ever had (out of many!). The conversation was free and easy, the table was comfy and warm, and the space was safe and free from judgement. Learned a lot of mind/body connection, and trauma response as well. Can not wait to book in again xxx - Martha
I had a massage from Amy yesterday and then had my best night's sleep for at least six months.
Thank you - Emma
Huge THANKYOU to Amy for the magical massage yesterday.
Today I was able to bend over (oo-err) without saying owww.
88/10 Yes thats 88 marks of a possible 10, so so SO good.
You help me and that is absolutely priceless
Love and gratitude - Hazel
If you told me years ago that I would be getting regular massages to reset my body, I would probably had laughed as I did not think that it could possibly do me any good. Amy changed my mind! Since the first time that I got smooshed and became a jellyfish, I understood the healing qualities of massage therapy. Amy is so welcoming and open minded, that it is easy to just put yourself in her hands and let her do her magic. That is why I call her Magical Amy! Thank you so much for helping me change my mind about massage therapy! See you like super soon!!! - Monica
Amy is absolute magic, as someone who suffers from AS and chronic fatigue I constantly leave it too late to visit and eventually hobble in. Usually 90mins later I emerge, no longer are my joints crunchy and painful and generally end up skipping a lot of the way home. They really are magic. Things I like about Amy over other therapists I've seen is that they are injury and trauma informed, they constantly check in and make sure you are doing ok. When you visit you really do feel like someone is holding space for you and healing you rather than just offering a service. I can't recommend them highly enough. - Sam
I've definitely found benefit in upping my time with Amy to 90 mins.
With today's session, despite her being gentle, I started off a squirmy, squealing mess. By the end, I had become one with the massage table.
The difference was noticeable as soon as I re-entered the real world too - my stride was instantly longer and faster, and yet I would not have thought it was tight and short before. Just shows what nonsense we put up with that we don't even see at times. Amy's work today fixed that. - Robyn
Can’t explain how much Amy’s magical massage enable and allow me to carry on! Chronic pain is so difficult to push through sometimes but after a treatment I see and feel a reduction which is a catalyst for a brighter mind. I felt comfortable in bed last night which hadn’t been the case in weeks.
Thankyou Amy Hawes for your work and beautiful soul. - Hazel
Amy is a jewel! She is not only a caring and wonderful human being, but an azaming massage therapist --and this is coming from someone who did not believe that massages could do much for a person's wellbeing in the past. Amy taught me differently! To make an appointment with her is to make an appointment with myself and my wellbeing (mental and physical). From the moment when I enter the door and we have a chat; to the moment when she checks to see how my body is doing/feeling; to being on the table and to the moment when I leave, I know that I am in the best of hands! Those hands that feel my bumps, knots, my trauma points, and stress and carefully works through them until they can be released. I may be a mess when I get on that table, but by the time that I am off it, I feel a lot better with myself and the world. Everytime that I go is a different journey that my mind and body must take if I want to take care of my wellbeing. Amy and her intutive technique is like my enabler in that journey! Thank you, Amy, for always making me feel welcomed, cared for and a happy jellyfish! - Monica
Thank you, for making me feel sooo much better, Amy. You have magic hands and an even more magical heart and soul. - Merissa
Had a session with Amy today for the first time in over six months and didn't realise how non-human-shaped I was feeling until I got off the table. I have legs and hips and shoulders again! Thank you lovely!!! - Kat
Had my first massage with Amy yesterday and came away feeling much lighter, my shoulders are back where they should be and I didn't realise I held so much tension/trauma in my legs, maybe I'll stop running away from things now! Thank you Amy, I'll be back for a 'full smoosh' session ASAP - Laura
Just had a massage with amy and she sorted out so many problems! The woman is amazing. She found problems where I didn’t know there were any! Definately booking longer next time so she has more time to fix me up. I’ve come away feeling very relaxed with a lot less tension. - Sara-Anne
Thank you so much for my massage last week! I may have left feeling all fluffy and floppy, but days later I’m still feeling so much more aware of my posture, standing taller and sitting better - and given that the time I’m not bent double to talk to someone at knee-height, I’m sitting badly at a desk (or more accurately not a desk...) that’s quite something! - Jo
I had my first massage with Amy on Monday.... wow. I entered her space out-of-body, nervous, split. And left with my body smiling all the way home. Her touch-presence is deep, caring and I felt really held. You know what I realised most massage therapists are not expressing enough in sessions?! Their funniness! In a miraculous way I left feeling cracked open and we also had a laugh. Plus her kombucha is ace. Much to you Amy - Sophie
Finally got myself an at-home massage from Amy after many recommendations, reviews and words of encouragement. I'm physically disabled and have a plethora of issues, truth be told, and Amy made me feel entirely at ease, worked through those knots, kept me smiling throughout and gave me a renewed sense of wellbeing. Be up Amy! - Li
Hello again!
I feel a wonderful sense of openness and connectedness. I breathe in places where I felt nothing for years. My shoulders are new. I have just a few hours left at work, then its just me and the mountains, and I want to carry this feeling with me. Thank you Thank you Thank you. - Laura
I've been looking for a massage therapist who understands chronically ill queer bodies for a while, and Amy is that person! I saw Amy for the first time after an extremely stressful week, and I left feeling refreshed and better than I knew was possible: I felt like my lung capacity had doubled. She helped me deal with extremely tight pecs after top surgery, and even sent me home with some very simple stretches that I could do while brushing my teeth.
I love that I can just come to her and say "fix me", I I trust her to give my muscles what they need while I relax (or swear a little when she finds the exact right spot). Not only does Amy make me feel comfortable and safe, but her studio is a joyful rainbow experience that always makes me happy. - Lilith
Had a wonderful squish from Amy today. Was transformed from being a crunchy woodlouse back into something vaguely human shaped. As always, she was sensitive to my comfort levels, both physically and emotionally, and she even swapped out some music after we had a discussion about soundscapes. - Katherine
Had the most AMAZING massage with the lovely Amy today. We started in the morning at around 10am and I am STILL virtually pain free! All over! This lady has magic hands. - Nora
I feel inches taller and my shoulders are no longer attached to my ears, thank you so much Amy it was the best birthday present I could’ve given myself - Toni
I had a fantastic session with Amy today, I came in feeling like a scrunched up ball and left feeling like an almost normal person. - Fran
My poorly shoulder has been pushed back in place & I feel 3 inches taller! Also loved my first facial massage. Thank you so much, Amy!! - Lindsay
Thank whichever deity is out there for Amy, she works wonders. I walked out today with my spine and shoulders reset. Felt so free afterwards and relaxed that I almost walked into a bin on the way out lol. Thank you again Amy! - Anna
Just floating home after another incredible smoosh from Amy. My creaky pain ridden knees have been playing up recently and today after the usual beautiful check in, Amy worked her magic releasing all kinds of tension, tightness, build up of stress, before freeing my back, then putting my neck and shoulders where they should sit. My floating body now completely pain free, and feeling strong, energised and balanced.
Having tried so many practitioners over the years to fix my issues, Amy is the best I’ve found. She works diligently, holistically and dynamically to create deep person centred remedial massage and body work. I cannot imagine my life without her! - Lou-lou
Today's massage was something *else*. I arrived happy and left glowing, with my shoulders in their proper position and a feeling of complete peace and relaxation.
Thank you, Amy Hawes - Peter
Had my second wonderful smooshing from Amy yesterday - shoulders back where they should be, and felt so much more centred in my body. As always, Amy was gentle and person focussed, checking in and helping me to re-inhabit my body.
Thank you, you wonderful human! - Martha
I just had my first massage with Amy and it was glorious. She was kind and professional and I feel so much better. The bestest hour of my week! - Lisa
A massage with Amy as you know is incredible, but when she has just had a restorative break and bounces back supercharged with rainbow power too, just wow!
I’m in heaven, completely blissed our and thinking of who I will delight with Amy’s massages for Christmas presents. I want everyone to feel this good. I think we all deserve it after the year we have had.
So grateful for your time, energy and skill Amy. Your massages, philosophy and care has changed my life, enhancing it more each visit. Cannot thank you enough. I always feel so safe and supported, even in my darkest of times. Feeling incredible again. Can’t believe it! - Sam
