Charlotte Preston

I went to Charlotte for the first time for a massage, she was welcoming and friendly putting me at ease.I felt I could talk to her about personal things and explain my situation which was very helpful.The massage itself was really good and helped to alleviate some of the back pain I had. I would highly recommend.

I have been working with Charlotte for many years, initially attending her classes and more recently having one to ones with her, developing my flexibility and body strength, through yoga, somatics and upper and lower body exercises.I have found the one to ones particularly helpful. She is an excellent teacher with a quick understanding of my needs and is extremely good at explaining what and why we are doing particular movements and exercises. My flexibility and strength have definitely improved significantly, along with my posture

Generous, kind and caring about her students, Charlotte ensures her classes are inclusive and nourishing. The broad knowledge and experience she incorporates into the classes as a practitioner make me feel like I'm always learning something new about movement and about myself. Across the timetable, the classes offer opportunities to build strength, balance, a sense of ease and mindfulness so there's always something that appeals on a given day. I find that Charlotte's teaching has a positive impact, both mentally and physically, far beyond the duration of the classes themselves.

I have attended Charlotte's classes for several years now and love her approach to bodywork and healing. The wide range of knowledge and experience that she has about many different approaches to bodywork means that the classes are always interesting and varied, and different from anything else that I do.I have had a couple of massages with her too and have found both of those to be an amazing experience - very gentle, very relaxing and very nourishing. Charlotte takes so much time to listen and support so it is a very supportive, holistic treatment.Charlotte is also just a lovely, kind and generous person!

Charlotte truly stands out as one of the best practitioners I've ever encountered. Her massages are wonderfully soothing, yet she skillfully addresses tension throughout the body, leaving you feeling both deeply relaxed and oddly invigorated.What sets Charlotte apart is her exceptional therapeutic abilities. Conversations with her are like confiding in your dearest friend, creating a safe and understanding atmosphere. If you're seeking guidance and tools to navigate challenging circumstances, you've found the perfect haven in her care.

I recently had the pleasure of receiving a massage from Charlotte, and it was an incredibly healing experience. Charlotte has a calming and soothing energy that makes you feel instantly at ease. I really appreciate the consultation at the beginning of the session, Charlotte genuinely cares about her clients, and always makes sure the session is tailored to her client's needs on the day.Charlotte also has a wealth of knowledge in somatic healing, which is holistic approach to healing that recognises the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. Her gentle touch and intuitive approach helped me to relax and release tension that I didn't even realise I was holding. She created a safe, calming space that was restorative and healing.I would highly recommend Charlotte's massage service to anyone looking for a deep relaxation of the body and mind. Her expertise in somatic healing, combined with her caring and gentle nature, creates an incredibly transformative experience. Thank you Charlotte!

I’ve had several massages with Charlotte. The pre assessment is targeted through her healing hands. The massage is both relaxing and helped my back, hip pain.My pregnancy massage I actually fell asleep and awoke with my girdle pain gone. The side massage is as good as lying on your front.Charlotte understands the body and you feel in safe hands It’s such a calming environment she creates you will leave feeling lighter and like new.

I’ve been an in-person and online student of Charlotte’s for over 5 years now and have tremendously enjoyed 1:1 and small group sessions as well as workshops and yoga retreats.Charlotte is a wonderful teacher. She creates an inviting space and comfortable atmosphere and I always feel refreshed and more tuned in to my body after her classes. Whether it’s yoga or qi gong or a mix of the two, Charlotte always ensures to offer alternative movement options and different levels of difficulty which make her classes super accessible. Through her workshops she taught me a lot about anatomy as well as philosophy and meditation and her regular online classes are a consistent joy in my life.Charlotte takes great care in crafting movement sequences. She’s a wise, humble, and caring teacher and has a natural curiosity and thirst for learning and continually developing her teachings.

I have been seeing Charlotte regularly over the past 7 years for massage and yoga as well as general wellbeing advice. I have been a hair stylist for over 17 years and the nature of the job - standing all day - takes a toll on the body. It's hard to put in to words how much Charlotte has helped me over the years through her exceptional knowledge of the human body and her natural ability to understand her clients - she truly gets under the skin of the person she is working with and always goes that extra mile to get to the root of the problem, or prevent one from happening in the first place. A kind, calm soul with an unwavering desire to always be learning more, a studious professional and a special person. Can't recommend her enough.

I discovered Charlotte a few months ago and she is amazing. She seems to have magic hands but I think the results she achieves on on my ageing body are also underpinned by her knowledge of how the muscles connect. She is a brilliant listener and health practitioner who has worked wonders on relieving the strains and stresses I increasingly feel after exercise and I highly recommend her.
