My inability to manage my anxiety and fears led me to reach out to Valina for help. Her approach was professional, yet at the same time warm and familiar, creating a safe space where she could truly understand my struggles and support me through them. When our sessions came to an end — especially th...e hypnotherapy session — I felt more relieved, aware and emotionally lighter. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her to anyone seeking support in overcoming the challenges and difficulties that affect us all at different stages of life. read more

At a crucial and complex stage in my career, I was feeling pulled in many directions — by work, family, social pressure, and outside interests — while seeking clarity on my next professional move. Valina guided me through this journey so naturally. Her exceptional listening skills stood out; she cou...ld effortlessly link all my thoughts and comments into a clear, actionable plan. I truly appreciated her personable nature, which made it easy to trust her with my future. Her thoughtful follow-up emails after every session were invaluable, reinforcing our discussions and ensuring I stayed on track. Thanks to her guidance, I felt confident in the decisions I made and in the direction my career is now heading. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach! read more

Valeria is absolutely amazing! I'm so glad I've found her. From the very first session, Valeria made me feel completely comfortable and cared for. Every appointment is a true pleasure — she brings such a warm, positive, and healing energy to the room. Not only is she an incredibly skilled acupunctur...ist, but she also goes above and beyond by sharing an abundance of helpful, practical advice that I can use in my daily life. She is truly helping me on my wellness journey, and I always leave her clinic feeling re-energised, balanced, and deeply supported. read more

Becky was excellent. I would highly recommend the LED facial and massage. Fantastic communication, she really made me feel at ease and the whole experience was incredibly relaxing and informative! Already looking at where I can book my next treatment.

I've been coming here for a while now for their acupuncture treatment with Marian, and it's consistently clean, calm, and professional. Exactly what you want from a wellness space. The staff are always warm while remaining professional. The location is a bonus I didn't know I needed as being right n...ext to Jolene means I always treat myself to a coffee and something sweet after my session. The perfect little ritual to round off the visit. read more

Chris is a master of his craft. When I arrived, my back was analogous to a dusty old house that had been shuttered for the winter but 45 minutes later it felt like it had had a full spring clean with shutters open to a beautiful sunny day! Thanks Chris.

Another wonderful treatment today by Georgie.
Thank you for the reflexology!

What a lovely welcoming place! The staff are delightful and my treatment with Leon Baugh was exactly what I needed. Realigned and rejuvenated.

Incredibly relaxing, enjoyable deep tissue massage. Will 100% be going back

A wonderful deep tissue massage with Danila. She was very attentive to my back problems and centered the massage on the areas that have been giving me trouble. I kept dozing off during the massage and felt super relaxed afterwards. Danila also gave me good advice on how to manage my back problems an...d tips on exercises that would be best. Definitely recommend and I will go back for sure. read more

What an amazing massage from Mila! I felt like she innately knew/felt exactly what my body needed. So skillful and attentive, and great at communicating. Thank you, will be recommending to everyone!

It was an exhilarating experience. The session with Ria was tailored to my needs, and I received holistic healing that unleashed worries and concerns I didn’t even know were still affecting me. My physical symptoms and emotional tiredness were both eased. I will be coming back for another in-depth s...ession. read more

I had such a great massage with Mila today. The pressure was right throughout and she really got into all my knots and tight areas - I didn't realise quite how much I was holding in my neck and shoulders and she worked into these areas especially - it was DIVINE and I left feeling relaxed, more open... and spacious 🙂 Thank you Mila! read more

I had an incredible healing session with Ria at Sacred Motion. Her warm, grounding energy put me at ease from the moment I arrived. The session was insightful and empowering, offering clarity I didn’t know I needed. The reiki was calming and transformative—I could feel energy shifting throughout my...body. The clay wrap was the perfect, soothing finish. Ria’s intuitive gifts and nurturing presence created a safe space to truly reset. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply reconnected. I will be back very soon. Thank you Ria read more

Mila at Sacred Motion gave me the best massage I’ve ever had. She focused on my targeted areas with such precision and care—her skill is truly unmatched. I’ve had many massages before, but none have compared to the relief and release I felt after this session. Mila intuitively knew exactly where to...apply pressure and how to work through tension I didn’t even realise I was holding. I left feeling completely relaxed, restored, and pain-free. She is a true expert at her craft. Highly recommend! Thank you Mila for a great experience. read more

The massage that Mila provided was excellent!
She used the right pressure and was in tune with exactly what I needed.

An excellent treatment from Dr Martinez. He explained everything to me before undertaking the procedure in a friendly and considerate way. The procedure itself was conducted very well and follow up care was also explained clearly. It was also very good value. Dr Martinez provides a terrific service,... is a very well qualified dermatologist, and I highly recommend him. read more

I cannot recommend Shine on the Green and my stylist enough. I received a very warm welcome, the salon is well run and very clean and well equipped. My stylist was amazing and I have not said that about a stylist for a very long time. Benedetta is friendly, she listened very carefully to what I want...ed/asked for. She also gave me great advice and guidance as it was my first time in getting my hair colour changed. I'm really happy with both the colour and cut she provided. She's also an adorable person, very very sweet. I wish Benedetta and Shine on the Green continued success. See you soon. read more

Benedetta is the best hairdresser I've ever had, and I'm not young!

Shine is extremely well organised, clean, and with lovely staff. I've always found the treatments very high quality as well, having tried several of the beauticians for waxes, pedis, facials, tints and massages. Great stuff!

Yoanna's 90 minute facial is not only to die for, but the perfect restorative for tired, stressed skin. Having just got over a cold, I came away feeling like my skin was recovered and got lots of compliments

I’ve been coming to Shine for years. Yoana is particularly excellent - from threading to luxurious facials. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and plan my schedule around her availability! Thank Yoanna.
