Testimonials
Massage
“I have been suffering with a back problem and severe fibromyalgia (inflammation of the muscles) for many years. I found Kat’s healing on Facebook and after reading the reviews I decided to give it a go. I have not regretted it and have continued having treatments from her for a few months now.
Her healing hands and therapies has worked out to my advantage. She provided Reiki, full body massages with essential oils and recently introduced cupping too. Kat has always gone over and above with the time she spends treating me and even though it is only an hours session I have always been given extra time and have never felt rushed. She hardly glances at the clock ticking away.
Her therapy room is clean, beautifully decorated, good lighting, peaceful and comfortable. The products she uses are of a very good quality, the towels are soft and clean and so are the sheets. During the cooler days, a heated blanket is provided on request and is always available. The smell and light from a burning candle brings a feeling of peace and relaxation.
The massages are provided to the intensity and pressure to your satisfaction. The cupping has certainly given me some relief to my on going pain especially in the areas where I feel it the most. Treatments are provided with a lot of care and not to the price you are meant to pay. A cool glass of water with lemon is provided after every treatment which is very refreshing. Once treatment is completed you are given time to get dressed and you don’t feel pressurised to rush. This is so satisfying as I struggle to rush.
Kat has an amazing personality and has treated me with love, care and understanding of my requirements. She has a good ear for listening to stressful moments and provides good advice and support. She makes one feel very relaxed and is there to help and support.
I would highly recommend her to anyone who would want to benefit from her treatments to provide some quality to your life.
A remarkable and amazing lady who cares about health to reduce the suffering.
I can’t thank Kat enough for all the treatments that she has offered to make my life better!
I sincerely hope that should you give her the opportunity of treating you, you will receive great satisfaction as I have.”

“Kat is amazing! I had my first deep tissue massage last week and immediately booked a series of sessions. She worked magic on the knots and stress points on my back. The entire experience was flawless. Kat is welcoming, friendly, knowledgable, and immediately puts you at ease. I left feeling like I’d been gifted a new body! Can’t wait to return.”
Jayne Saunderson - Photographer
“I had the most fantastic massage with Kat this week - she is such a calming person and instantly made me feel relaxed and calm in her lovely home. She listened to me and tailored my massage to help me with the tension I was holding. She is incredibly knowledgable and I completely trusted her throughout. I felt renewed afterwards and cannot wait until I see her again for a lovely massage!”
Meg Melia - Personal Assistant
“What an experience! Really attentive, and honestly the best massage I have ever had, although I haven’t told her that. :) Support small businesses, because it’ll help places like Her Healing that really deserve their moment. This is a lovely place to relax, and plenty of treatment options depending on your needs.”
Oscar Morrel - Teacher
“I am so happy to have found Kat. The nature of my work means I often get neck and shoulder tension and therefore knots in my back. Today was my first massage session - I felt comfortable and cared for throughout, and much better afterward. She is an expert in her craft and I will be going back plenty!”
Akshay Shah - Dentist
“I contacted Kat because I had hurt my back over Christmas and she was very kind to book me in for a 1 hour, deep tissue massage. I was greeted for an initial consultation and offered a hot drink while we discussed various options and ideas to help with my back pain. The studio is very comfortable and Kat has such a wonderful, calming nature aswell as a vast knowledge of lots of interesting topics that the hour just flew by.
When the massage ended, I could feel the benefits immediately... I was offered a refreshing drink while I gathered myself and didn't hesitate to book a follow up appointment. A wonderful experience with a very professional lady... Thank you Kat”
Alex Highman - Plumber
“I met Kat for the first time last week and she immediately put me at ease and talked through what my issues were and what I hoped to gain from the session.
She gave me an excellent all over deep tissue massage and finished with some reiki, which left me feeling very relaxed, comfortable and, most importantly, feeling significantly less tension in several areas of my shoulders, back and neck.
I’m returning for a second session today, which I’m very much looking forward to and will hopefully become a long standing and regular client of Kat going forward.
I would heartily and unhesitatingly recommend her and her services to anyone local that I knew!”
David Aylward - Counter Fraud Manager
“I cannot recommend Kat highly enough, she seemed to know exactly what my body needed and adapted the massage to focus on, and treat, the areas of my back that were causing me problems. Kat’s attention to detail and in-depth understanding of the anatomy made me feel very reassured and she was fantastic at answering any questions I had in an easy and uncomplicated way that helped me to understand how and why she was conducting particular strokes. I came away feeling incredibly relaxed and far less tense. I will most definitely be back. Thank you Kat.”
Anna Bevis - Events Executive
“Kat’s expert understanding of muscles and how to ease tension from them was exactly what my back needed. She took her time and explained why my back has been causing me discomfort. The relaxed setting and careful massage was perfect, I’m looking forward to visiting again soon.”
Becky Williams - Partnerships Manager
“My wife recommended Kat and I had a really great massage. I was holding the usual signs of a busy life in my muscles and I left feeling a lot more relaxed after a very calming experience. It was great to have a treatment from a masseuse who doesn’t have a set routine to work through and is flexible in the treatment areas to focus on.”
Dan Bevis - Project Manager
“Kat gave me the best massage I have ever had! From the moment you walk in, Kat’s calming voice leads you to a beautiful treatment room (which also smells incredible). The massage was so in depth, having a chat prior to the massage about any problem areas I had - the consultation is seperate to the treatment time which is a real bonus. I have never felt so calm and be able to unwind during a massage - Kat made sure I was breathing correctly and was totally relaxed throughout the massage meaning I could really enjoy it and switch off. I will be back for regular massages with Kat - I cannot wait, just the treatment I have been searching for.”
Olivia Mills - Hair & Makeup Artist
“I highly recommend Kat for a deep tissue massage, she is professional and passionate about providing a quality service and experience. I felt at ease and relaxed whilst experiencing one of the best massages I have ever had. Better than spa treatments I’ve had in India and Sri Lanka in 5 star hotels. Thank you.”
Andrew Ananth - Data Program Manager
Reiki
“I had a really positive experience with my first ever Reiki treatment. I didn’t know what to expect, but Kat made me feel comfortable and at ease. I don’t think I have ever spent an hour completely calm without fidgeting, but that’s what happened during this session - I felt very at peace. I was having issues with sleeping, but after the session I have been able to fall asleep much quicker and sleep through the night! Kat also identified some issues I have been having with my mental health, including difficulties communicating and feeling very muddled. This treatment has helped me to focus on what I need to work on to create more balance in my life.”
Hayley Donnigan - Marketing Manager
“Kat is our Covid Gift. She has helped my husband and I at a time we sorely needed both energetic and physical healing. She has the most gentle, sensitive, empathic manner while remaining professional. It is truly wonderful for us to be able to receive this healing remotely, living as we do in rural Zambia. A reminder in these topsy turvy times, that we can all connect meaningfully and that there are many ways of showing love and compassion for each other, in spite of not being together in person.”
Elizabeth Nicolle - Farm Owner
“Kat shares the power of Reiki with a refreshing passion and dedication. Each time I have a session with her, her intuition never fails to connect to the needs of my body and emotions so I can come back to balance naturally. Kat is one of these people who has the energy of someone who is born to be a healer. I trust her insights and know her caring energy, her lineage and her Reiki all merge into an evident catalyst for anyone wishing not only to bring more peace and healing on their journey but also wishing to unravel and empower their inner self. Thank you Kat for doing this beautiful work, I am forever grateful to have found you on my path!”
Marie Grand - Leadership and Personal Coach
“I started receiving Reiki treatments from Kat a few months ago due to stress related to the Coronavrius lockdown, and I could not be more grateful. During the actual session I was able to clear my thoughts and calm down. However, it did not stop there - the most important effect it had was on my emotions after the treatment. It just helps you to be more tolerant, more loving and it's a lot easier to cope with the day-to-day stress. I have mild PCOS and when Kat was working on my abdomen area, I felt a hot flash, as if someone had put a hot radiator on the top of my belly. It is hard to describe, I just felt this energetic string growing inside, as if Kat knew that this was an area that needed fixing. It only proves that Reiki therapy is not just for people with mental health problems but everyone with any health problems. Kat's energy is extremely strong and sharp - whether you're looking for a calm peace within or for an alternative treatment, I would absolutely recommend Reiki, and Reiki with Kat to anybody!”
Valerie Lalenkova - Proactive Sales Manager
“Had a fabulous Reiki treatment experience with Kat! Having had a few Reiki experiences in the past I had an idea of what to expect. I was delighted with Kat’s treatment, her bedside manner, gentle touch and professionalism. I immediately had sensations once the session began! I was also delighted at certain points of the treatment to have more intense sensations around certain areas of my body. I felt wonderful after and would recommend Kat to anyone looking for Reiki treatments.”
Gobnait Cronin - Mother
“I found my Reiki sessions with Kat extremely relaxing and restorative during my pregnancy. The baby appeared to respond to the treatment particularly earlier on and I felt the first movements and flutters. Kat has a calming and caring presence, making you feel instantly at ease and I was so relaxed during each session I fell asleep every time.”
Katie Hemblade-Ghee - Chartered Surveyor
“This was my very first experience of Reiki so going into it I wasn’t sure what to think. Kat was so professional, kind and supportive and immediately made me feel at ease. Without me telling her any previous history Kat was able to pinpoint that my back pain was causing my headaches, all by reading my bodies energy, astounding! It was such a soothing, uplifting and nurturing experience, that I have immediately signed up for more. Thank you, Kat.”
Dr Heather McKee - Health Behaviour Change Specialist
“Kat has been one of my clients for many years! She’s an AMAZING person! I have never had a Reiki session before so I didn’t really understand or believe its benefits until I had my first session… I felt an intense energy flow as she was able to activate exactly what my intention for the healing session was. Kat really helped me return to inner peace and feel better in my physical body. I booked my next session with her straight away and highly recommend her.”
Ligia Lima - Beauty Salon Owner
“I am bit cynical of all things spiritual so was a little concerned that I’d be wasting an hour but I cannot believe how wrong I was! The treatment was so relaxing, and made me experience things I truly didn’t expect. I literally FELT the energy, and at one point was convinced Kat was massaging me (turns out she didn’t touch me once). But above the physical experience, it was also mentally transformative. I am genuinely excited to try it again and can totally see how regular treatments would help with both physical and mental ailments. Highly recommend - just give it a go!”
Clare Gill - Shipping Logistics Manager
“I had the most wonderful Reiki session with Kat which I can't recommend highly enough! Kat had such an in depth knowledge of my body, what I needed and how best to improve my mental and physical health. The session enabled me to sleep well for the first time in a long time and I can't wait for the next!”
Alexandra Clements - Community & Events Executive
Yoga
“I started doing yoga with Kat in August this year. I love the hour spent with her and her yogis. I've done yoga on and off for several years and Kat is one of the best teachers I've had. The first thing I noticed was her passion for yoga and her lovely, calming voice - the voice, to me, is almost the most important thing for a yoga teacher. She, also, has great knowledge and skill, makes the sessions interesting and progressive. She supports with alternatives during the sessions so that all of the yogis can access the postures. I can really recommend Kat as a yoga teacher. Thanks Kat.”
Jane Foster - Retiree
“I’m new to yoga and not your typical yogi. Kat is extremely patient and makes adaptions for me. I have tried yoga a couple of times before but never found it right for me. An hour in class with Kat after a long day at work is very calming and a time for reflection. She is very caring and passionate about yoga and makes the classes interesting. I’m now addicted! Can’t recommend Kat enough.”
Tracy Poulton - Partnerships Manager
“Yoga with Kat is absolutely brilliant. I love doing sessions with her as her voice is so calming, she’s so knowledgeable about the practice and always on hand to help with positions/moves in a supportive way. There is no judgement and always an open, supportive vibe in the class, I love that there’s always a specific focus for the session, and as a beginner, she explains everything thoroughly and goes at a manageable pace which makes such a difference. I also like the different variations/grading of moves/poses throughout the yoga flow, making it accessible for everyone in the class, and also providing a chance for people to challenge themselves at their own pace. I would highly recommend Kat’s yoga classes.”
Chloe Morris - Multidisciplinary Therapy Technician
“I still consider myself to be a beginner even though I have been practising yoga for many years. Kat gives clear instruction and offers variations for all levels. The class I attend has varying levels and we all leave happy. She works you hard but it is still a very calming and soothing experience. Thanks for a beautiful weekly pause Kat.”
Beverley Worsley - Community Fundraiser
“I could not recommend Her Healing enough! Kat is such a warm, welcoming Yoga teacher. She encourages a ‘come as you are’ ethos and helps you feel comfortable in the class. She is welcoming of all levels and experience and always provides adaptations to help you grow in your practice. I love having a weekly safe space practising Yoga with Kat.”
Hannah Stackhouse - Occupational Therapist
Sound Therapy
“I’ve had two sound baths from Kat now and the best word to describe them is sublime. The set up looks magical, her explanation and care is gentle and thoughtful. I felt cared for and held. I was transported to another realm during the Sound Bath, it was both magical and deeply healing. We need this healing in the world, thank you Kat for your magic.”
Karen Bradley - Intuitive Guide
“This was my first time attending a Sound Bath and I would highly recommend one with Kat! I didn’t know what to expect but it was like a deep meditation without trying, and as someone who finds it hard to relax, I was extremely surprised how I drifted off without a care in the world! I definitely recommend to de-stress and relax, much needed in today’s busy life!”
Denise Harknett - Finance Manager
“I found Kat on a quick Google scroll, looking for a local massage therapist… and the rest as they say is history. Her massages are so intuitive and I immediately felt like I had known her for years. I have recently attended a Sound Bath session with her too and can only say ‘wow’. The positive effect it has had on my sleep has been incredible. Highly recommend Kat and am so grateful to have found her practice.”
