“For me, the main difference is how you approach each session with an open mind.
You ask questions, carry out a visual assessment, and then tailor the treatment to enable the most effective outcome.
No two treatments are the same, but they are always just what I needed.
I feel like you intuitively know exactly what area needs attention, and the treatment evolves as you work—your understanding of energy work feeds into this, I’m sure.
Never a ‘massage by numbers’ treatment! You always use just the right amount of pressure, and after each session, I leave feeling lighter, more fluid, and in a much better frame of mind—most of the time at least an inch taller!
Oh, and you have an awesome playlist.

Phil’s massage, what can I say they are amazing.
Although he has had very successful training, he connects with his client, and his intuition tells him where to work. This is natural and no amount of training can give you.
During the massage one feels a deep sense of calm, and letting go.
Phil doesn’t chat during the massage thus allowing the client to immerse in the total relaxing space of his connection, and benefit from his healing massage.
I can highly recommend Phil and look forward to his massages to relieve the day to day tensions of bodily aches. and pains and release toxins and keep me in good shape.
I would urge anyone to do the same.

Phil was super welcoming and explained how it’d play out and shaped it around some points I highlighted.
I suffer from joint problems, Fibromyalgia and seizures, so my body is always under stress.
A few weeks on I’ve noticed significantly less nerve pain since the session.
It was also a really emotionally healing experience. Having dealt with a lot of personal issues over the last few months, I hadn’t given myself a lot of time just for me, and Phil really helped me to offer myself that again.
I don’t think I’ve felt that relaxed in months, possibly years.
Phil had an amazing connection to my needs as we went along and focused on areas I didn’t even realise held so much tension until he began.
Phil is incredibly skilled and offers amazing value for money.
Definitely returning for more.
Laura Lavene
Philip is a very special person with a magical touch. He has an amazing understanding of the body, and movement, and he is perfect for both muscular pain relief and deep relaxation.
Highly recommend! His treatment room is incredibly relaxing, and the massage couch is super comfortable… so be warned—you won’t want to leave.
Thank you, Philip! Yet again, I feel like I could fly. Can’t wait for my next treatment… two hours of heaven!
Elaine Le Feuvre
Phil is an amazingly intuitive therapist.
I so enjoyed my combined Reiki and massage session today that I may have dribbled a bit!
Such a releasing and unique technique—starting with Reiki, clothed pressure points, and massage, followed by hands-on deep massage and manipulation that released all the tension in my back, hips, hands, and feet.
My mind and body feel restored. I’ve already booked my next session
Highly recommend!
Mary Vining
A good friend recommended Phil to me.
I had been experiencing upper back and shoulder pain due to a fall and asked if he could incorporate a hot stone massage.
Phil was so welcoming and professional.
We had a lovely, relaxed chat in his beautiful therapy room, discussing any issues and allergies.
The massage was fantastic—and then he brought in the hot stones… wow!
I have never experienced anything similar; the tension just melted away.
Phil works intuitively and focuses on areas that need attention. The music and ambiance were perfect—the whole session, from beginning to end, was pure bliss. Ending with a great chat… self-care at its best. I’m already looking forward to my next appointment. ”
David Down
I have been going to Phil for years.
As an avid sports enthusiast, my body is constantly being stressed.
Phil takes the time to listen to how my body is feeling, and has the ability to target specific problem areas.
He is one of the reasons I’m able to maintain high-level athletic performance.

From the start of the session to the very end, Phil was 100% present.
It felt as if he wasn’t just following a protocol, but instead listening deeply to what my body needed.
As a fellow bodyworker, I know how much experience that takes.
Daniel White
Health Coach
Phil is a highly skilled and knowledgeable massage therapist.
I visited his clinic after experiencing problems with my sciatic nerve and shoulders.
He provided a completely relaxed and welcoming atmosphere in which we could discuss these issues and his approach to treatment.
His massaging skills were second to none, and I have since been left with much less pain and more functionality in the previously burdened areas. He was also able to provide me with a number of practical recommendations for strengthening these parts of my body for the future, as well as sharing his insights on why the problems may have arisen in the first place!
I couldn't have asked for better treatment or 'bedside manner'. Cheers Phil, I will most definitely be back!

Because we like data. I had 100% sleep last night and also had the best physical recovery, highest ever HRV, and lowest resting heart rate.
Really interesting!
I've been wearing my whoop 24/7 for nearly a year so this is based on my general base lines, so it's amazing to see such an improvement following one session.
Jane Maclure
Hi Phil.
Sorry, I meant to message you.
I slept so deeply that night. So much so that I woke up at 5:30 refreshed without an alarm, and started my day! Having a very positive and manageable week since
Ann Malik
I see Phil regularly for gentle massage and Reiki.
I have stage IV cancer and it's in my spine.
Sadly I suffer with a lot of muscular pain and neuralgia.
Phil knows his stuff and always makes me feel 100% better.
I would recommend him to everyone I know for treatment.
Treat yourself, he's awesome.
Thanks Phil for all you do
Alison
Philip understands how the body holds pain and intuitively knows how to unlock it.
He is something else.
Go with faith, trust him, you are in safe, healing hands.
Thank you Philip
Lynn Sykes
I visited Phil after suffering from lower left-sided back pain for three weeks with no improvement.
Phil instantly made me feel relaxed before the massage even began. He is very easygoing, genuine, and caring, making you feel truly valued—not just a number. It is obvious he loves his job and genuinely wants to help people feel better.
The massage was amazing—Phil knew exactly where to touch and how much pressure to apply. He is extremely knowledgeable, and I felt in very safe hands. It wasn’t just pain relief but also how relaxed I felt afterwards.
The next day, my back pain was 50% improved, and by the following day, it was completely gone!
That was a week ago, and it hasn’t come back.
I couldn’t believe just one session made such a difference. I will be back—whether for a twinge or simply to relax.
This is money well spent. Thank you so much, Phil!

Nutritional Therapist
Phil, I’m so sorry it’s taken me a while to get in touch. Thank you for an utterly beautiful massage.
I didn’t know what to expect, but I had a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders.
Often with a massage, it can be pretty uncomfortable getting into and loosening the knots—but Phil’s technique was the complete opposite.
I dropped into a deeper and deeper state of relaxation as he continually and intuitively worked to remove tightness and tension.
I felt safe and completely held throughout the session. I could feel the competence and mastery of someone who has refined their art over a long time. I hadn’t realised how tense I was—both in mind and body—until that completely shifted halfway through.
And the Reiki? That was the icing on the cake.
I’ve had Reiki before, but I’ve never experienced such powerful energy surges as Phil placed his hands over each chakra. It felt like my entire system was recalibrating.
Safe to say, when I got off the couch at the end of the session, I felt deeply relaxed and renewed—like I had come back to myself.
Phil is open-hearted, kind, friendly, and empathetic. If you need to feel deeply relaxed, renewed, and revitalised, book in.
Particularly as a woman, I found it refreshing to experience Phil’s gentle, yet strong and empowered, heart-centred approach.
I’ve nearly always been massaged by a woman.
It felt particularly healing and comforting to experience Phil’s healthy, balanced masculine and feminine energy.
Oh, and the playlist? Loved it. It helped me relax even more!
Katie Allisette
Went to see Phil for a mixture of Reiki & massage—a whole 90 minutes as a treat to myself.
I had quite a few uncomfortable joints and areas of discomfort.
I wasn’t sure if they were emotional blockages or physical tension.
The next day, I was sore, but after that, I felt a remarkable difference. The pain in some joints had completely disappeared (and still hasn’t returned a week later), while a few others were significantly improved.
I’ve also felt a huge mental shift for the positive and have been sleeping better than I have in months.
Do your body and mind a favour & book in
Charlotte Le Tissier
I felt welcome, safe, and at ease throughout.
I arrived exhausted and full of knots and left soothed and relieved of muscular and mental tension.
Lovely treatment room, music, and person!
