I can honestly say Amanda gives the best massages I have ever had and I’ve had a few! Her warmth, expert skills and intuition make the experience deeply memorable. Whether it is a firm deep tissue massage you are wanting or something more gentle and relaxing Amanda is your therapist. It is the highlight of my week and I highly recommend her to all who seek to feel transformed and refreshed.

A massage with Amanda is threefold. She fixes the problem. And not only do I feel relaxed, I also feel nurtured and cared for.

Having travelled the world, I’ve experienced many different types/styles of massage and nothing comes close to Amanda.
Her massage is magic. You leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, lighter and happier. Better then an Island holiday some may say....
She truly is the best of the best.

“Amanda’s my favourite massage therapist in all the world. I feel very grateful to be able to go and see her when I can.
For me, her work transcends ‘regular massage’. It’s deeper, richer and more profound. It reminds me of Esalen massage—which uses lots of flowing movements. She has incredible skill and sense of lightness in her work, and seems to have an intuitive sense of what I most need. She’s really fantastic!
I don’t know if I would have gotten through last year in such good shape without her support. Plus, the aesthetics of her practice are beautiful—- the room smells and sounds great, the towels are warm, fluffy and abundant, and the light is soft and perfect.
I feel so comfortable and safe. I wish I could see her every week.”

Today I was blessed with a beautifully relaxing and uplifting massage and reiki session with Amanda, at her gorgeous new premises. I walked away feeling so much lighter and brighter..and in fact I am still feeling HIGH as a kite really. And talk about mega fluffy towels! Thanks again Amanda Hanna-Doull, it was BLISSFUL! xx

Having been a massage therapist myself, I am very fussy. Amanda is one of the very few massage therapists who I not only go to myself but highly recommend.

I was on holiday in New Zealand and some old stuff popped up, my neck was totally blocked. I was looking for someone to help me to release this. Fortunately I found Amanda, she helped me to get rid of it, my neck was much better afterwards. It really felt like coming home!
Thx Amanda for making space on such a short notice and for all your friendliness.

Amanda really does have ‘healing hands’! She works with warmth, sincerity, awareness and a deep understanding of the human body and mind. I’ve been blown away by her sensitivity to my historical, and new, aches and pains, and how she mindfully makes her way to the root of the cause and works on a deep level with it. Not only was my body feeling open after my last massage, but my spirit was lifted...and I discovered some fantastic new music (she also offers a wonderful selection of music for you to choose from)!! Amanda puts you at ease with a warm and inviting environment, her friendly and caring disposition and natural talent and energy for working with the body. I’ve been to a number of different massage therapists over the years but this one is special, trust me! I’ve finally found one that I want to go back to, and work with. I can’t wait for my next visit!!

Amanda has helped released the pain in my hip that I had been struggling with.
Am moving better and dancing with more ease and I am very grateful

Amanda truly has an amazing talent! I have had a few massages in my life and not a word of a lie, Amanda is the best I’ve had to date! She understands the body, the soul and the mind. I went in feeling pain, tightness and very stiff....I have left feeling upbeat and so free spirited! WOW! Can’t wait for our next session.

Most experienced and relaxing massage I have had! My feet tingled all night! Thanks Amanda, what a treat with cups of hibiscus tea, cookies and a flower to take home. Feeling much better. Feeling like another soon xxx
— Jill
Amanda creates a wonderfully relaxing environment for the massages she gives; and she does GIVE. Amanda does not just give a great massage, through her hands she is able to pass on a sense of peace and wholeness. I feel so good afterwards that I am keen for others to experience a session too. She also cured my cold! xx
— Aileen
Totally recommend Amanda’s massage
— Kate
Amanda may be able to correct me on this but I think my body has been enjoying her massage for about ten years maybe???....who would think that a gift voucher from my wonderful son would be so sustaining!
Over the ten years or so I’ve enjoyed the most amazing massage with Amanda, enjoyed her wonderful voice, had blessed conversation, and become a dear friend. Hows that for value?
