About me

We are all under pressure these days to work harder and longer and we forget to look after our health leading to pain and stiffness, tension and stress. I aim to help you achieve more harmony and balance in your life whether it is your emotional or physical wellbeing.

All my therapies aim to aid relief of these symptoms and with my range of experience, I can tailor the treatment to your specific needs. As an advanced massage therapist I can offer a bespoke service for example, If you are a menopausal woman with joint pain, I could offer deep tissue massage with a special blend of aromatherapy oils to ease pain and balance hormones, followed by some reflexology working on the endocrine system. 

The therapies I offer are;

  • Advanced and Deep-Tissue Massage
  • Pregnancy Massage
  • Indian Head Massage
  • Reflexology
  • Aromatherapy Massage
  • Reiki
  • Bamboo Massage
  • Counselling/life coaching

Some Testimonals from Clients:

"Paula is a brilliant masseur/aromatherapist. I have had lots of massages but none of them have sorted out my knots like hers. She is friendly and professional too. Lainy Wills December 2024

"Paula's skill and dedication has completely changed my life, after sufferin"Paula's skill and dedication has completely changed my life, after suffering with neck and shoulder pain for years I was at breaking point and in an incredible amount of pain, affecting every aspect of my life. Paula has an ability to know exactly the technique and pressure to use to relieve pain and to ease ongoing issues. she is really talented and I cannot thank her enough".  Georgie Southward November 2024"      

" Paula is the most talented massage therapist i've come across. she is highly skilled in different types of massage which allows her to tailor her treatments to each individual. Her passion and enthusiasim for her work shines through when you meet her, contributing to the lovely atmosphere she creates when you come for a massage. I think one of Paula's greatest strengths though is that she is such an incredible listener, she really pays attention to what is troubling you and genuinely cares about making it better. She will suggest different therapes, spend longer on a particular area and adjust in any way she can think of to accomodate your needs and help with your pain/problem. I have seen from other testimonials that other clients travel to see her and I am not suprised that they do, as I do the same! and I honestly wish that I could prescribe the type of individually tailored massage that Paula does on the NHS, as I have so many patients that would benefit, physically and psychologically. Of course not everyone feels comfortable or enjoys massage but if you are suffering from problems related to chronic muscular tension and wanted to give it a try I would absolutely recommend booking in with Paula. Dr Felicity Thomas. Febuary 2017

" I have been having deep tissue massage from Paula for 9 years now. I suffer with lower back, neck, shoulders and hip ache from playing hockey and the nature of my job. Paula is brilliant and has helped me every month to relieve pain. She is higly skilled and very knowledgeable, which helps her assess your problems. When I was pregnant I suffered with sciatica and hip joint pain. She was able to treat me and helped me get through the last few months of my pregnancy. Other treatments I have are hopi ear candles, indian head massage and reflexology. Paula is fantastic at all of these especially the indian head massage which is so soothing and relaxing. I would recommend Paula to anyone. She is fantastic!. Martha Hardy Jan 2019

"I would definately recommend Paula for massage treatment. she is professional,friendly and understanding".  Thank you Paula. Sarika Malvi March 2018

" Hi Paula..I just wanted to say thank you for such an amazing massage, i've had a few in the past but your deep tissue massage was amazing and although I was a little sore afterwards in some places....I actually felt my tension in the body releasing...thank you once again..I can't wait for my next session.  Zahira Saiyed May 2018

"A lovely morning spent with Paula having a massage and Reiki. Paula is the most gifted therapist i've ever me! she has majic in her hands and it's so wonderful she shares it with people". Cate Ven Aug 2018

"Once again I have had another fantastic result from Paula at Natural Balance. I contacted Paula with pain in my Neck, Back and spasm in my left leg. On arriving Paula told me to relax as musch as I could and she got to work on my leg first. Within minutes my leg stopped spasming. Paula then continued to work my neck and back. After her treatment I am walking straight again and my back and neck feels better. Paula has not just got magic hands she also listens and has fantastic knowledge. After many years visiting practitioners with no results, Paula is the only lady that has ever given me good results on every visit. I would not go anywhere else. Well done Paula. SL Jan 2019

Training, qualifications & experience

I started my journey as a therapist over 20 years ago, studying as a complementary therapist in Leicester. I found that I had a natural ability to feel where clients stored tension and stress in their bodies and this became the focus on my therapy journey, continuing to study and find out more about the body and how it works.  After working in private practice for over 10 years I found I also had good listening skills and this prompted me to begin my training as a life coach and counsellor and I have now been counselling since 2020.
