  • Herbal Compress
    This hot oil herb compress massage treatment is a revelation to me. It seems to be reaching deep tissue without the need for high pressure, sometimes painful standard massage technique. Angela has an amazing skill and is a highly professional, intuitive therapist and I would highly recommend her and the Pinda Sweda treatment to anyone.

  • Yoga 1-1 / Private
    "...They (yoga lessons) proved a true tonic & played an integral part in helping me let go of much stress. Her gentle, encouraging manner soothed me into a world of releasing tension & building physical strength and flexibility.
    This she compliments with many 'words of wisdom' on how to cope with the challenges on modern life... & useful pointers to take away with you.
    I have no hesitation in recommending them to those taking their first steps into yoga and those with a little experience under their belt alike.
    They are at the same time wonderfully relaxing and invigorating..the perfect balance of mind and body and all from an excellent teacher and communicator!

  • Ayurvedic Consultation
    "I was introduced to Angela on a retreat day. I made an appointment initially for an ayurvedic consultation, it was amazing. I was blown away by her knowledge and sensitivity. Not only are the treatments she offers very therapeutic for the literal body, but there is something about what she does that works on a deeply emotional level. OK, I'm a closet hippie but I'm also a cynic which means its pretty difficult to accept some of the more untangible aspects of holistic treatments, with Angela I believe and trust."
