Shiatsu Bodyworks Cheltenham

I can highly recommend Shiatsu Bodyworks . I went to Andrea with menopausal symptoms, which were made worse when my HRT was discontinued and I had to stop cold turkey. Andrea is so knowledgeable and friendly and makes you feel at ease. I have been so impressed by the treatments and results that I have signed up to a monthly plan. I look forward to my treatment every month. Thank you Andrea!

I am so glad that I sought help from Andrea back in May 2023 for my symptoms of fatigue, lack of sleep, night sweats and low mood. Although I am post menopause (61) I contacted Andrea and enquired as to whether she could help as the symptoms she described in her blogs seemed to correspond with the symptoms I was experiencing. I was pleased that she responded quickly, in a friendly manner, with an understanding of my situation that she felt able to help with.At the time of contacted her I was feeling pretty low and at times despairing of my situation, as the fatigue was severely restricting my life to the point where I was only doing what I had to do to survive. I’d stopped visiting my family, as weekends away were too draining physically and had also not joined or attended any social clubs, as the effort required to do so impacted my energy levels.I am pleased to say that since attending sessions with Andrea, this has all changed. Surprisingly quickly I was back to singing in the shower, after only a couple of sessions! My energy levels have been restored and I am back sleeping well with no night sweats.A combination of Shiatsu sessions, taking recommended supplements and a practitioner who relates, kindly, compassionately and authentically has enabled my energy levels to be restored. I am now positively thriving, which is a lovely change from surviving. The best thing is that I am back visiting my children and my hope has been restored. I can now look forward to new challenges and the choices that have opened up with my newfound zest for life.I only wish I’d had the courage to contact Andrea sooner.

I loved everything about my Shiatsu treatment. Andrea made me very welcome and relaxed, explaining clearly. I felt better immediately and still do. I had a sore neck, shoulder and hip and it's all eased now. Also I have had headaches recently and wasn't sleeping too well. Better all round. I've already ordered 2 vouchers for friends/family who I want to give the gift of this experience to.

Went to see Andrea with lower back pain/heat and shoulder/neck issues. Andrea instantly put me at ease as we discussed my various symptoms and how shiatsu could help. After one session my back pain disappeared within a few days and the dreadful heat I experienced had gone. My shoulder is also a lot better and the intense stabbing pain gone. Andrea works gently and explains everything clearly in a relaxed and comfortable treatment room.

I had my first appointment with Andrea a few weeks ago and the knowledge she has is amazing! I have various problems with neck, headaches and ibs for years and iv tried everything possible over the counter and through doctors with not much joy, but after visiting Andrea she just knew what my body needed to start a change, she made me a plan including some yoga poses, missing vitamins my body needed and some explanations about the root of my issues. I have been on the plan for 3 weeks now and I feel like I have a life back as I’m at least 95% better now! It’s settled my IBS and most of my neck problems using only natural therapy’s. I will continue to Recommend Andreas Shiatsu to everybody I meet as it has really helped me and I know it can help others with ongoing problems. Thank you so much Andrea!! See you soon for my second appointment.

I couldn’t recommend Andrea more. I was apprehensive as I had never received shiatsu before, and not only is Andrea incredible knowledgeable and professional, she has such a wonderful demeanour that you feel safe and relaxed as soon as you start your session.If you are curious at all about Shiatsu, then there is no one better to go with. I have noticed deep healing within my body, and I have also gained more understanding of how my mind and body are connected, with Andrea graciously answering any questions I have. You can tell that Andrea genuinely loves what she does, and she cares for your well-being. She is a rare one and you would be lucky to have her in your life.All my love, Emily x

Andrea treated me both when I was going through fertility treatment and during pregnancy. Each session was incredibly relaxing and I would walk away feeling lighter and strangely taller each time. Andrea explained exactly what she was doing each time and where my issues were and gave me suggestions on how to help myself between sessions. I am now a big advocate of shiatsu and cannot recommend Andrea highly enough!

Very homely and relaxing atmosphere, Andrea listens to you and find out what; your agile,ents are and then re-energises your body with gentle touches to pressure points which will leave you invigorated for days after

I had a few sessions with Andrea when I'd damaged my shoulder. I couldn't lift it without pain and found it hurt to lie on that side at bedtime. Andrea uses a firm but gentle touch to regain movement and relieve pain. She also gave me some specific exercises to do to continue the improvement between sessions. I cannot quite believe the difference. I have full movement back and no pain meaning I can enjoy all my favourite yoga positions again. I like to know how things work and Andrea was able to explain what she was doing and why.

I met Andrea at a networking event where she was speaking and immediately admired her passion and knowledge.Not totally understanding Shiatsu, and following a conversation with Andrea about the dark place mentally and physically I found myself in, I was curious and cautiously optimistic that this alternative treatment would help me feel better.Now 8 months on .. after weekly sessions, I just cannot believe the difference to both my physical and mental well-being .. my energy has lifted and I feel nothing but positive about myself and the future.Andrea is an absolute gem! So caring, knowledgeable and passionate about her profession. She has been a main stay in my recovery back to normality and I will always be indebted to her for her kindness, understanding, ability and forethought to guide me through the storm through the true miracle of Shiatsu. I honestly don’t know what I would do without my ongoing sessions which refocus and re-energise me.I just cannot recommend Andrea enough - she is one in a million and is extremely gifted and talented!
