Massage Experience
Pros:
"I had my first ever massage today (postnatal/deep tissue) and was feeling a little anxious..that was quickly put to ease by Rhian!"
"I have now had three treatments at knot stressed- they were all fantastic!"
"I had such a lot of tension in my back and I could feel the knots. I booked a one hour deep tissue massage with Juan and it was the best thing I have done!"
"The massage at Knotstressed is fantastic....I will be very surprised if you don't fall asleep by the end of your treatment!"
"I had the loveliest of lovely pregnancy massages with Gabe - I booked 90 minutes, wondered if that might feel a bit too long, but discovered I could quite happily have remained there for double that length of time!"
"I’ve also had a couple of massages at knotstressed and they have always been wonderfully relaxing and healing."
"It was extremely relaxing and comforting, very gentle - I left with a total sense of calm and wellbeing and all the aches in my shoulders and neck rubbed away."
Cons:
"I attended a hypnobirthing course in 2022 and while there were some useful elements such as (all too brief) coverage of birthing positions and acupressure points, generally I was deeply concerned by my experience."
Teaching Quality
Pros:
"I have just completed the Level 1 Hands Free course with Onie. She is a fantastic Teacher. Very patient, thorough and clear with her instruction."
"Onie is a great teacher and did a wonderful job of making us all properly feel part of a baby class, something new mums like me are missing out on at present, via Zoom."
"Onie made a real effort to engage the babies and make it a place where we could share our experience of parenting under lockdown as well as teaching us and the babies."
"The course was invaluable! - all practical (minimal theory) the tutors had genuine enthusiasm and focused on getting us to get used to the 'feel' of working with new techniques."
"I recently undertook and completed the 'Relax and Sing baby Signing' 3 day course. The course was excellent and Onie was a fantastic instructor."
"Onie's professionalism and experience has meant that I now feel confident going out and running my own courses and can't wait to get started!"
"I recently completed the Relax and Sing baby massage and yoga instructor training. This is easily the best training course I have ever been on."
Cons:
"Prior to booking with Onie, I researched many similar courses and chose to go with Knot Stressed as, on paper, the course was by far the best value for money."
Atmosphere and Environment
Pros:
"Such a welcoming and friendly centre for all things relaxation."
"As well as great very well trained practitioners the whole atmosphere at knot stressed is so lovely- very relaxing, great rooms, fresh water available."
"The new Knotstressed premises are in a great location and are lovely too, tea/coffee and nibbles are always on offer and very welcome indeed - lovely touch!"
"The space is warm and welcoming, the practitioners are well meaning."
"Knotstressed is a sanctuary in the city."
"The studio is clean, professional and very inviting, lending its self to a warm and productive learning environment."
"The Knotstressed environment is designed to relax from the moment one walks in the door."
Cons:
"I attended a hypnobirthing course in 2022 and while there were some useful elements, generally I was deeply concerned by my experience."
Value and Benefits
Pros:
"I also feel that the massages here are very good value for money."
"I trained with Knot Stressed on their hands-free massage course. mainly to protect my own joints during massage, and I also learned a whole suite of techniques that improved the results for my clients."
"I enjoyed it so much and recommend KnotStressed to EVERYONE who is looking for the best massage treatment or yoga in the city."
"The customer approach is exceptional, everything from the first booking email till the end is GREAT!"
"I was given a voucher by my friend who knew I was having a bad time and was really stressed out, and I used it to get the signature treatment which was done by Onie. It was AMAZING!"
"I had a fantastic pregnancy massage here thanks to a voucher from a friend (this is THE baby shower gift for Mums to be!)."
"Absolutely loved the two days gaining a certificate of attendance at the end of the 2nd day, it all passed too quickly. Also great attentive correspondence from Nikki who dealt promptly with all my queries!"
Cons:
"I attended a hypnobirthing course in 2022 and while there were some useful elements, generally I was deeply concerned by my experience."
