Why go for a massage?
Massage is probably the oldest and certainly the most natural of all the therapies on the planet. The depth and power of NO HANDS Massage has to be felt to be believed and those who experience it say that it far exceeds the impact of any other form of Massage they have ever received. This has been from therapists and clients who have travelled all over the world and have sampled every form of Bodywork known!
Massage offers something which no other therapy can offer – namely, the power of touch. Deep and sustained touch can utterly transform your life. Structural imbalances can be put right without your even noticing. Areas that you didn’t even know were tense can be loosened. Like a tight piece of clothing that has been shrunk, your whole musculature can be pleasurably stretched and any restrictions released.
As our body changes, so too do our thoughts, our emotions and our whole connection with ourselves. In this respect, Massage is probably the most total therapy available. There are many different reasons to book a NO HANDS Massage… TOP
Why book a NO HANDS massage?
Many people come purely for the touch. Most of us have been touch starved since early childhood and this has all sorts of psychological, emotional and physical implications. Receiving the gift of powerful touch can have a profoundly rebalancing effect upon us. Sometimes the ripples from this touch are felt for many years afterwards…
Receiving deep and soothing touch can help us to REBALANCE our life in so many ways. In truth, much illness and unhappiness originates from a disconnection between the mind and the body. Touch is simply the most powerful way to reconnect with the deep self-healing potential within each of us.
Touch is the most effective way to rebuild the bridge between mind and body. This reconnection enables us to go forward and make the correct decisions in our lives – because of this inner ‘body-wisdom’ that we all have.
There are also times when we know that we need to stretch and loosen every muscle in the body – so we can walk with balance and poise through life. So many ‘problems’ just disappear when the whole body is rebalanced in its totality. Only through NO HANDS is it possible to loosen and rebalance the whole body so totally – and in an amazingly short space of time.
Such rebalancing can also release blocked energy – and it is from these blockages that future illnesses can develop. Touch can locate these blockages so you can then release them without any pain at all. For many of us, there is often a need to simply rest and recharge. With the right kind of touch Massage can literally supercharge us. There is something magical about touch and when exhaustion is the issue the right kind of Massage can restore us more powerfully and deeply than any harmful stimulant.
And sometimes we just know it is time for change, for transformation. Sometimes it takes the wisdom of the body to help us to make the changes we most need to make in our lives. With the support of powerful touch anything is possible… TOP

It actually takes many years of constant abuse to push our bodies out of their natural state of balance. Because Massage is such a natural therapy, there is no cosmetic ‘quick fix’.
Like all natural approaches to healing proper Massage enables any imbalances to gradually work themselves out of your system. Having a series of Massage sessions enables you to release at deeper and deeper levels as the sessions progress. TOP
What is special about NO HANDS?
NO HANDS stands for excellence in the quality and power of the touch that you receive. There is nothing like it anywhere else in the world. This trademark guarantees the purity of tradition. It means that I have been trained to a higher standard of Massage than most therapists and that I have been personally endorsed by the founder of NO HANDS, Gerry Pyves. This is unique in the UK – that the quality of an approach is preserved so completely.
NO HANDS is what people who want more than just a ‘skin rub’ choose for their Massage. It is about change, letting go, releasing and transforming ourselves. Sometimes we know in advance what this change is going to be and sometimes we just trust, let go and only realise what it was all about two weeks after the session! TOP
Why is it called NO HANDS?
NO HANDS Massage is named because, literally, hands are not the primary surface used during massage. NO HANDS was born because the founder – Gerry Pyves – had injured both wrists from repetitive and long-term used of wrists and hands. He discovered that the forearm is ideal for massage.
NO HANDS is performed using the soft part of the forearm, which moulds to the contours of the body feeling soft yet deep and powerful to the client. Due to the larger surface area being used to massage, a larger area of tension can be released without pain. This is unlike the pin-point pressure created by fingers and thumbs. The absence of pain allows the client to feel at ease with treatment and enhances the client’s ability to release. This also allows the practitioner to apply great pressure in total safety to the client and themselves.
The power of NO HANDS touch can enable a client to release and let go not only to achieve their desired outcome but for life transformations too. TOP
What if I cannot book a series of treatments?
Don’t worry! You can still come for treatments from me whenever you can manage them. You will still experience many of the benefits outlined above. It will simply take you a little longer. To understand more about this read “How Massage Works…” TOP
What exactly happens in a session?
Well, for starters, most clients book in a series of sessions – and I make this financially worth your while. Why do I do this? Because you need consecutive sessions to really make this work for you.
Almost all of the work is done with you on the plinth receiving Massage, sometimes with oil, sometimes not. Nothing happens without your consent – every step of the way you are in control. I will be your guide and your best fan, cheering you on from the sidelines through my touch. One of the hallmarks of having a NO HANDS Massage is that the practitioner works almost completely silently once the Massage starts.
Apart from that, all I can say is that every session is different! I may do the bodywork, but it will be you who does the releasing. The session is all about how far you can let go… Sometimes the session is still and silent, sometimes raucous and full of laughter. It is whatever you need in order to help you to find your true balance, your true Shi’Zen. TOP
What if I live too far away?
It is actually quite normal for clients to travel for an hour or two to their session. Actually this can be an advantage! The time you spend travelling is time to begin your session and start reflecting on what you need and how you want to feel at the end – two questions you will be asked by me every time!
If you prioritise your personal wellbeing and growth in this way, then you will value the thinking and reflection space that these journeys provide. TOP
