Massage Reviews & Testimonials

Wonderful feedbacks from my clients on Reflexology and Shiatsu sessions, Acupressure Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and Facial Acupressure Uplift Massage

“I had a wonderful session today – every minute was tailored to me and I left feeling like a different person! Less tense, lighter, and genuinely happier. Thank you!”

“I was quite anxious before heading to my first session, but Ludmila put me at ease very quickly, making me feel comfortable, and commanding the session in a way that allowed me to put full trust in her opinions, knowledge, and suggestions. The environment created in the therapy room is soothing and peaceful, and as somebody who struggles to switch off, her approach allowed me some respite. It was hard work mentally to try and switch off and relax, but Ludmila did a wonderful job in making that as easy as possible.”

“I suffer with a lot of tenseness in my shoulders and back after spending too many hours on my laptop at work! Ludmila is fantastic at finding and locating the areas that are problematic and I feel significantly better after a session both physically but also more relaxed mentally and focussed. What also places her head and shoulders above other therapists I have been too is her genuine and authentic approach to her sessions. It doesn’t feel like I’m just another customer and you can tell that she is genuinely connected to and thinking about the best way to help and uses techniques that are most appropriate for you.”

“Hi Ludmila, sorry to bother you soo late but thought it was interesting that my husband just asked me if I had new sports leggings on. I informed him that I don’t ( I’ve wear them a lot), and asked why. “Oh”, he said. “Your legs look really slim”. 🤷‍♀️🙏 thank you xxx”

“I cannot recommend Ludmila highly enough! From the very beginning, she has been incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to helping me manage my condition. Ludmila’s expertise in lymphatic drainage has made a significant difference in my health and well-being.

What truly sets Ludmila apart is her commitment to going above and beyond for her clients. Not only have she tailored treatments to my specific needs, but she also took the initiative to research and invest in a groundbreaking machine that has further enhanced my progress. Ludmila’s willingness to stay at the forefront of new techniques and technologies shows just how much she cares about providing the best possible care.

Thanks to Ludmila, I’ve experienced improvements I never thought possible. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication make every session a positive experience. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and is willing to go the extra mile, I highly recommend Ludmila!”

“I saw Ludmila yesterday, I contacted her in desperation due to having severe persistent pain down the right side of my body, poor posture, low energy, bad sleep, and feeling tense all the time. Ludmila listened intently as I described my symptoms and decided the first session should be some reflexology. Goodness me, she has such healing hands. I was in heaven for the hour session and this morning my shoulder is looser, I slept really well, and I’m already moving around a little easier. I booked in for shiatzu next month and I’m already looking forward to it. Calming to be in the presence of her, consummate professional, methodical and thorough. I will be recommending her to everyone I know.”

“I went to see Ludmila having recently been diagnosed with a frozen shoulder and also experiencing lower back pain. I had no idea what to expect from a shiatsu massage but I left feeling energised, without pain and with a sense of mental clarity. Ludmila is a warm, empathetic and knowledgeable practitioner and I highly recommend her.”

“I’d just like to share my first appointment experience with Ludmila because I’ve never experienced anything like it before. I’m usually a very anxious person when it comes to new environments or experiences but I had been in pain for so long that I just woke up on this morning and knew I had to do something soon. Not wanting another appointment with my GP and more tablets, I took a leap into the unknown and started to search for help and found Esperanza Holistics. I was in need of a deep tissue massage and reflexology to try and relieve the tension in my shoulders and neck (or so I thought). Ludmila is soo friendly, caring and definitely knows what she’s talking about. She took time to listen to my needs and was able to suggest points in need of attention. I was happy to go with her suggestion and I was not disappointed ( after all she is the professional). She is not “just trained” she is “highly qualified “. I felt amazing after this appointment and even more so, the day after and I can’t wait for my next appointment.”

“Agreeing with all these lovely reviews! I’ve always attended Esperanza to lower my stress and maintain balance. Recently however, I ran my first marathon and visited Esperanza a week before to tone me up, hone my endurance as well as settle my nerves. Ludmila hit the nail on the head! I was buzzing. Energy levels through the roof and I smashed it race day. Definitely part of my pre-race regime now!”

“I wouldn’t go anywhere other than to Esperanza Holistics for any treatments. I have had lymphatic drainage and recently the shiatsu massage which felt so relaxing and much needed. I highly recommend any treatments as Ludmila puts her heart and soul into what she does.”

“When Ludmila asked what is was id like to leave with from my treatment i unconvincingly repliued with “to feel my old self again.” the tretament was wonderful, unbelievable, magical…I was in disbleief as i didnt think it was possible to feel anywhere near my old self ever again, and so i cant express enough the incredible ways in wich Ludmila has worked on me in such a short space of time. Ludmila listens with intent and her gentle approach, knowledge and undertsanding with the breif information she recieved from me that day resulted in what i can only describe as ‘immediate stillness.’ I rebooked straight away for another shiatsu appointment within several days.

My second appointment helped me even further, in more ways than one. Before recieving treamtment from Ludmila i felt pretty low to the ground and would use bouts of energy to gather myself at the start, middle and end of the day. Since my two Shiatsu sessions i have felt lighter and more efficient with physical movements and mental decissions which is more than i expected from 1, never mind 2 sessions. I cant wait for my next one 🙂 thank you :)”

“I found this amazing lady on google after being advised to get a lymphatic drainage massage, this is because i had water retention and swollen ankles from my long haul flight. I knew nothing about this but Ludmila explained everything to me. I noticed the results straight away, it was amazing. I went back for a second visit as i had some sort of allergy to my face and Ludmila done a bit of a mix up of lymphatic, reiki and acupuncture and WOW what a difference it made. I am going back on a regular basis and will maybe try other services that Ludmila provides. I highly recommend this lovely lady so if anyone has any problems they need treating or just a nice relaxing massage then Ludmila is your lady x”

“I booked in with Ludmila for a deep tissue massage a few of months ago, but on arriving and having a consultation with her she recommended shiatsu for me. I had no idea what shiatsu was but thought why not try something new. About five minutes into it I could tell something felt different and by the end of the massage I was in the deepest state of relaxation I have ever had and felt the most ‘balanced’ I had in months. I have now been for 3 shiatsu massages with her and each one has benefited my wellbeing so much. She is a very gifted lady who makes you feel in the safest hands and has also offered me tips for ‘rebalancing’ day to day that have been very powerful.”

“I had two reflexology sessions and one shiatsu with Ludmila. I can honestly say that I have never had such instantly, effective holistic therapy in my life! I love reflexology and have had lots of it off various therapists but this was on another level. After reflexology/Shiatsu with Ludmila I slept so deeply and was full of energy the next day. Hadn’t felt like that for months.
She is also a very nurturing and caring person, just being around her makes me feel calm and at ease. She listens to exactly what you want out of the session and goes with that. If you can do one positive thing for yourself today, make an appointment with help, you will be so pleased you did.”

“Ludmila’s Shiatsu massages are amazing. Even for a 65 year-old, I was in poor shape when I first went to see Ludmila. In recent months I had suffered a hospital stay for sepsis and two bouts of bronchitis, leaving me with a persistent cough. My energy level was at an all time low, and in particular my breathing was laboured. Even routine activities were hard work. Frankly, I felt terrible and was not especially optimistic that Ludmila would be able to help me. However, after a few sessions of Shiatsu massage therapy my breathing became noticeably easier; my cough gradually disappeared. Earlier this week, I completed a twenty-mile cycle ride. Ludmila is expert in what she does. I am happy to have seen objective improvements in my health.”
