My first experience of Matthew's new skills using Lomi Lomi massage de-stessed my spine and I so thoroughly. He is a considerate professional, tailoring his skilled techniques and exercises in a friendly, warm and stress free environment, Lomi Lomi is a great addition to his effective treatments.

I recently visited Matthew and received nothing but an excellent massage, just what the doctor ordered!
I soon felt relaxed in Matthew's presence as he portrayed his warm and caring personality. I found him to be a dedicated individual who offers true professionalism. I certainly will be visiting him again. Highly recommended!!

Matthew is a highly professional practitioner who immediately puts clients at their ease. Matthew has the ability to combine therapy with relaxation in such a way that the client feels the time spent with him is money well spent. Matthew's studio is in a quite leafy part of Bristol. It is clean, warm and very relaxing. I highly recommend Matthew to both experienced clients and also to first-timers.

I went to Matthew because I had decided to train for a 10k race after some years of abstinence from such activities.
This was partly to work off the added stiffness that I was anticipating from my training and also to reward myself if I stuck to my training regime.
I think it helped me in both regards and was very pleased that I added Matthew's expertise to my training program.
Mission duly accomplished with a run of just under an hour despite having to lay off the training for a week due to a strained piriformis which Matthew did some work on.
A genial and responsive therapist if that is what you require.
