At Bristol Massage Therapy we pride ourselves on being the best massage practitioners in Bristol. A bold claim perhaps, but one we truly believe in. We are passionate about our work as massage therapists – it is a privilege and joy, working with our clients so that they can feel good with, about and in their bodies.

We are a team of practitioners with a passion for massage, operating in the heart of Bristol. One of our specialities is pregnancy massage, with all those practitioners who offer these appointments having trained with Suzanne and hold the Well Mother qualification.

We also offer deep tissue work, sports massage or a bit of deep relaxation, so whatever stage of life you are at, we can really help.

Situated in the heart of Glastonbury, I offer therapeutic and restorative massage for all, I believe that every person should be able to benefit from the natural healing approach of massage, whether you need relaxation or treating back pain.

I specialise in Pregnancy massage for all trimesters, which allows me to work on the body in a side position, but this can also be adapted to where mother is most comfortable. I also work with the mother preparing towards the birth of her baby, giving advice, breathing techniques, and visualisations. Massage can be a wonderful bonding time for mother and baby to have time out of a busy life to focus and connect with herself and her growing baby. “If you are looking after yourself, you are also looking after your baby”

I also work with couples helping both mother and birth partner. Giving tips and techniques to help the birth partner be more supportive, showing them how to massage and energy points during labour.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks Sarah

Mobile and Clinic based massage therapist. Providing the highest quality of massage and care - nourishing families through massage and bodywork.

I have been qualified in Clinical & Holistic Aromatherapy since 2007 and have worked as a complementary therapist since 2008. I offer a range of therapies and have studied a variety of bodywork and massage techniques, including deep tissue, effective stretching, pre and post-natal massage, women's health, fertility massage therapy and nutrition for everyday living. I've worked with many of my clients from the start of their fertility journey, through their pregnancies and into motherhood. I aim to listen to their body through a time of change, helping to ease some of their aches and pains and create a clear space to recharge and rebalance.
