Asha Fitzgerald

This is my second visit here as I had a great zen massage the last time and decided to come back. This time I booked an Ayurvedic massage. The massage and therapist were excellent and although not a traditional Ayurvedic massage with plenty of oil, the masseur kneaded many of my stubborn knots away and I left feeling much lighter.
I will be going back for a second one in the new year........

Easy to find, off the main road with ample parking. The staff were friendly and welcoming and explained about the massage I was going to receive.
The rooms are clinical, which I liked but with touches of warmth and comfort placed around the room. The massage was relaxing and good. The therapist was attentive. Will definitely be making another trip here as the massages are very reasonably priced and the quality good.

This has been my third week at Your Body Active, after purchasing a Mobdeal entitling me to a month's pass. The studio is compact and is located in the heart of Richmond high street and the classes are small and intimate. I have now had in excess of 10 pilates lessons and can say that I have noticed a massive difference in my body and the muscles I use. Because the classes are small, never larger than 4, the instructors Gemma and Alan are able to be very hands on and ensure that the movements you are doing are done correctly! I am definitely going to continue my classes here!!

After my first successful visit to Destination Skin and being told that a skin peel would be a great treatment for my skin, I decided to revisit and try out a peel as I have never had one before! The therapist was very informative and explained each step of the procedure and what she was putting onto my skin. As it was my first peel, it was quite a mild one, which stung at first and then burnt a little after that. A cooling mask was put onto my skin for about 30 minutes, which I found quite boring, as I was just left to relax. All in all I was left with fresh glowing skin, with no irritation or redness and was able to go out straight away!

I took full advantage of the Wahanda offer of a free personal pilates class and went along to my lesson not knowing what to expect.Upon arrival, I was immediately put at ease by Sandie's demeanor and informed that the other person had cancelled so I would be having a one to one session with her! I filled out a detailed health form and looked around at all the contraptions and thought, what have I let myself in for!!
I was asked to stand as I normally would........and all I can say is WOW! Sandie was able to identify errors in my posture, give me reasons for my back pain and point out muscles that I was not using. She started work immediately on my target areas, showing me what looked easy, but were very difficult, but gentle exercises which started by building my core and focused on my breathing. The hour flew by and I felt like I had had a strenuous work out.
I loved Sandie's hands on approach and she was very knowledgeable about physiology and anatomy. I was so impressed by my experience that I will definitely be back for more as I feel from my initial visit that personal pilates will be a real benefit to me in the future.

I have just returned from my free ARK skin assessment and mini facial. On arrival I was greeted by a chatty receptionist and asked to fill in a 'lifestyle' form. I was then taken through to the treatment room, which immediately made me feel relaxed with its low lighting, chilled music and candles, my therapist Phillipa, then ran through my form and chatted through what target areas I was looking to improve on my skin. She explained what she was going to do in my treatment and the products she would be using. She was very professional, knowledgable and the head massage she gave me just made me float away!

I was also given a neatly packaged range of products to test.

I will be going back in the future to experience more of their products.

This was my first visit to destination skin. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who told me about the offers they currently had, gave me information about the other treatments they did and then gave me a form to fill in.
The environment is very bright and clinical. My therapist Marianne then talked me through alternative treatments for my skin, indicating which ones she felt would suit me and also my 'wish list' of potentially other areas I wanted to tackle. I found her to be very professional, attentive and helpful. The treatment lasted approximately 30-40 minutes, beginning with a deep cleanse and ending with a hydrating serum to finish which refreshed my skin and added a lovely glow!
I thoroughly enjoyed my initial experience, especially with the 50% off deal price. I will be returning to do a course of follow up treatments!
