TESTIMONIALS
As a watchmaker, my job puts huge strain on my back and shoulders, and I frequently find myself with a lot of pain and tension in these areas. In combination with this I had switched from many years of yoga to a fairly intensive mixed cardio/weights training regime and I found myself often feeling very stiff, restricted and out of breath.
​
Audrey was able to get straight to the root of many of my problems (and even problems I didn’t realise I had!) and has greatly improved my flexibility and range of movement. I am also unlucky enough to suffer from a hiatus hernia and from working through my problems in my shoulders and rib cage she has greatly improved the flexibility of my diaphragm which has alleviated many of the symptoms I suffer from.
​
Audrey is a fantastically intuitive therapist and really took the time to try to understand which areas were causing me problems. She immediately put me at ease and also took the time to explain why I might be suffering in particular areas, and suggested exercises to help try to prevent me causing any more damage to myself!
​
So far I have had two sessions with Audrey over a 6 month period and I really can't recommend her highly enough. I have spent many years going to chiropractors and none have achieved the lasting results that she has. Not only did I feel the results instantly, but the massage combined with the knowledge and exercises she provided me with have meant I have continued to feel improvement ever since.

I feel much more relaxed in my mind and body after Audrey has been and treated me, areas get woken up through the joints and muscles of my legs, my ankles and toes keep moving and flexing till our next appointment.

I first met Audrey when I attended her Pilates class. Suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, wanted to do some sort of exercise but was limited to what I could do.
Audrey is fantastic at adapting exercises to suit individuals. She makes her classes enjoyable and you are never made to feel that you have failed. It was during these sessions that Audrey mentioned that I might benefit from having some deep tissue therapy.
To date, I have had two sessions with Audrey where she has worked on my one arm that is particularly affected by the arthritis.
Audrey spent a good hour during each session manipulating and massaging not just my arm but hands, wrists and shoulders. Due to the restrictions I have in my arm, Audrey soon recognised that I was over compensating in other areas which needed attention.
It was amazing how quickly joints were "freed up" and improvement achieved.
I thoroughly recommend Audrey to anyone. She is very knowledgeable and at the same time makes you feel very much at ease, taking great care to understand issues that you are personally experiencing.

Following a problem with overtraining and not stretching properly I found myself in a position where I could barely walk let alone run and I was due to take part in the Marathon de Sables. I was introduced to Audrey as someone who could hopefully repair the damage I had done and quickly get me moving again.
​
I was training hard for the 2016 Marathon De Sables; a 150 mile 6 day self-supported race in the Sahara Desert. Training carrying a rucksack had caused problems with my calves, a common runner’s problem!
​
I had three sessions with Audrey where she gradually massaged my legs, stretching tendons and getting me back into shape to the point where I could train and take part in the race.
​
Audrey took great care to fully understand what the problem was and also to understand what I was looking to achieve, she designed a series of stretches which once her treatment had finished helped me stay injury free not only during my training but also during the race itself.
​
The Marathon de Sables is described as “The toughest foot race on earth” and with Audrey’s help I am pleased to say I was able to complete the race without further injury.
​
I would be happy to recommend Audrey to anyone who wants a personal service by someone who takes care to do their homework and create a plan that can extend past the treatment term and promote overall well being.

I first met Audrey after a friend had recommended her to me July 2015. I had been suffering from neck, shoulder and back pain.
​
I felt that I needed more than a simple back massage but wanted to know what I may be doing wrong, if anything? I had also been seeing a very good Chiropractor but this time even that hadn't worked.
​
When I arrived for my first appointment, Audrey made me feel comfortable and at ease I was slightly nervous! Audrey got me to stand in my 'normal' posture and I was amazed at how, simply by watching how I was standing. Audrey allowed me to talk about all my aches and pains and I was intrigued by the Hendrickson Method of treatment.
​
Audrey worked on me for about an hour and a half and recommended that I go back the following week which I did. After these two sessions I found that I had muscles I didn't know I had! Best of all, to date, I have not had to go back again because Audrey had got to the 'root' or 'muscles' causing my problems during the two sessions that I had with her.
​
I thoroughly recommend Audrey to anyone.

​Audrey Gooderham is a consummate professional who never rests on her laurels but chooses to keep abreast of new techniques and ideas in the field of massage and to take any useful opportunity to update her skills and keep her professional knowledge very much up to date.
Her excellent treatment has helped me recover from both a number of sports injuries and a fractured knee cap, sustained in a fall. I have found that having specialised massage on the injured area to have aided my recovery far more effectively and speedily than physiotherapy techniques and reduced the need for pain killers.
So – whether you have a specific injury – or have merely “done too much” at the gym or in the garden and you aching muscles need a deep and therapeutic “treat” I would thoroughly recommend you to contact Audrey – you'll be glad you did!!
