Metta offers a large array of therapies, based in both Eastern philosophy and Western science.

A variety of Massage traditions are offered. Often a tailored approach is used for the client, personalising treatments for specific needs, drawing and combining techniques from many Massage traditions.
Fully clothed Acupressure Chair Massage treatments are also available: if you want to rejuvenate, relax, and yet leave feeling energised, this type of massage is excellent, and you have the option to return unruffled to your daily activities.

Yoga Therapy sessions are offered to assess the client's body bio-mechanically, and to then offer specific Yoga postures to relieve them of incorrect posture, pain and mobility dysfunction and/or to prepare for, or rehabilitate from surgery.

TESTIMONIALS
"Lovely yoga class where I was physically pushed to my edge, but it also calmed and focused my mind and I was able to relax. Left feeling lighter and happier! I'll definitely be coming back for more classes!"

"This was one of the best (if not the best) massages I have ever received. Joanna spent some time understanding what I was looking for, and which areas to focus on. I explained some specific injuries and areas needing attention. Joanna then had a huge range of techniques and worked on exactly the right areas we'd discussed. Afterwards Joanna gave me some good advice and followed up by email with some written exercises. From beginning to end this was one of the most competent and professional treatments you could wish to receive. I highly recommend Metta."

“I have a form of MS and my massages with Joanna have a massive impact on my physical wellbeing - she works my full body and tailors each session to my needs on that day. She is amazing and was much missed during lockdown.”
Susie M.
"Joanna is always so tuned in to how I'm feeling and what I need. I work at a computer all day: her shoulder and back massages are a necessity, not a treat!"
James B.
“Jo's massage is excellent. She has an ability to intuitively know what pressure is needed and I always come away feeling, looser, more relaxed and de-stressed. I would recommend her services to anyone who cares about their body.”
