Testimonials

Pregnancy Massage

"I was really suffering with lower back pain during my later stage of pregnancy. After even my first pregnancy massage from Mathilde I experienced great relief. She also gave a lot of great advice, including how to encourage the baby into a good position and I went into labour on time! Being able to have the massage at home is wonderfully relaxing as you can just fall into bed at the end!"

Postnatal Massage

"When my baby, Jude, was three weeks old I had my first post-pregnancy massage with Mathilde Barbier. It was a wonderful hour and a much-needed escape from the chaotic life that comes with a newborn baby. My body was sore and battered and the massage helped restore my sanity and my sense of self. It was also precious time just for me: a soothing, uplifting and wonderful pampering experience. I continued having regular massage with Mathilde and have done so for the last five years – right through my next pregnancy and still now nearly five years later when my children are nearly 5 and 2!"

Baby Massage

"Both my daughter and I really enjoyed Mathilde's baby massage sessions. Mathilde has a lovely soothing and calming manner that works wonders on mothers and babies alike. Her teaching is clear and easy to understand and remember. She has great attention to detail from the atmosphere in the room to the oil she uses. Also, Mathilde keeps the groups small enough that you feel you are getting plenty of one on one attention and she makes sure everyone has understood the movement before she moves on to the next one. I still occasionally massage my daughter (she is 4 now) and we both really love this close quiet moment together before bedtime. I also still use the tummy massage movements every time she has a tummy ache and that seems to work really well."

Deep Tissue Massage

"Mathilde, thank you so much - I am in a state of pure relaxation, and my only "complaint" is that an hour is far too short! What I especially love is that you do all the travelling, so once we're done, I don't actually have to go anywhere. I shall have to book a longer session for next time, and at least once a month. I would be very happy to recommend you to not just friends, but also clients."

"Mathilde Barbier is a gem. She is one of these rare massage therapists who have excellent training and know what technique to use to bring out the best result. She also is one of these rare people who has found the balance between professionalism and empathy: she really cares, however will always be professional in her dealings with you, always leaving you understood and cared for, and safe because she respects the boundaries of the arrangement. I have had several massages with Mathilde and I have always left feeling better than I could even imagine. Her massage is nurturing and strong, yet can be gentle if needed. Her hands find these spots you didn't even know you had. And on top of that, Mathilde is a perfectionist: she has very high standards for herself and her massages are absolutely perfect. I love Mathilde and would recommend her to anybody."
