Nutrition
I have a huge passion for understanding health status and biochemical imbalances of the human body, and have for 3 years studied at the College of Naturopathic medicine to become a nutritional practitioner.
Understanding the impact that food can have on a person’s health is vital, as good nutrition is fundamental to good health. It is therefore important to have optimum health, as this helps to reduce the risk of getting a large number of diseases.
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human body, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease” - Thomas Edison.
Beauty Therapy
Elemis is the Award-winning skincare that I both retail and use throughout my therapies.
Elemis is a skin wellness brand with an aromatherapist’s soul, an artist’s spirit, and a scientist’s commitment to results. The dynamic ingredients can be trusted for its purity, integrity and efficiency. It is also not tested on animals.
Zoya is a chemical free nail polish, and OPI are the nail polishes used within a manicure and pedicure. Shellac is a patent pending UV3 technology that combines the ease of polish with the permanence of gel. Shellac is UV cured so ZERO drying time; it is hypoallergenic and free from formaldehyde, toluene and Dibutyl Phthalate. It is thin and flexible like a polish, and provides a natural nail protection for 14 days with high gloss shine.

Anyone looking for an out of this world treatment with a therapist who is welcoming, professional, full of knowledge, with healing hands, then I can't recommend Mary enough. I have visited her for many years and have never been disappointed. Mary's passion for her work is evident and it is refreshing to visit someone who genuinely cares about you. Thank you Mary
I have been seeing Mary for a few years now, she is always full of fantastic advice and is passionate about the Elemis products (which are the best I've ever used). Her knowledge is exceptional and her treatments are incredible. I would whole heartedly recommend her
From treatment room to having the Elemis experience - I am transported into the world of calmness, relaxation with a lovely setting of candles and soft music. My Facial and body Massage are always amazing. Feeling relaxed, refreshed and reinvigorated. Skin feeling lovely and soft and lifted. I have had a pamper session nearly every month for the last 10 years and have never been disappointed. You always put me at ease from the start with a welcome greeting and your professionalism to the treatments, they are of such a high standard, you have set a high bench mark for other to achieve. Thank you Mary. Look forward to my next pamper session.
I have been seeing Mary for my beauty treatments for many years. I would just like to say that I would highly recommend her she is excellent at what she does makes you feel relaxed and is very knowledgeable and I also think of her as a friend as well as my therapist.
Mary is very professional, the treatment room is clean and tidy, warm and welcoming, with lovely soft music in the back ground, ready to send you off into dreamland when having treatment. I have been going to Mary for over 10 years, I look forward to my treatment every month, which is good value for money, I have a facial which is out of this world, Mary always complements this with a lovely neck, head and shoulder massage.The Elemis creams leave my skin soft and fresh and feeling nice and clean. I have had other treatment over the years from Mary, the warm stone massage is very relaxing but should come with a warning not to drive after. I have entrusted my husband face to her and she gave me back a different man, his skin looked so clean and younger looking, he now allows Mary to keep his eyebrows trim and he has retuned for facials. Mary is a lovely warm friendly person, I class her as a friend, anything you discuss is confidential, what is said in the treatment room stays in the treatment room. Thank you Mary for helping me to look younger, and being there for me in difficult times, helping me to relax.
What I have experienced coming to Mary is above excellence. Mary tailors my treatment to my exact needs. Not only do I benefit during the treatment, but I have weeks of great skin and well-being from my treatments. I wish I had found you years ago!
It is pleasure visiting Mary in her spotless and welcoming home. Just seeing her, being pampered and forced to relax is a tonic!
Welcoming, knowledgeable and a unique ability to assess and know what every client needs. Professional, warm and idyllic setting. I always look forward to my next treatment
Don’t just think a back massage is just for ladies. My wife gave me a voucher for Christmas one year as I was really struggling with my back. It took me nearly a year to pluck up the courage to visit Mary. She put me at ease immediately, she is so professional and skilful. I left a relaxed and slightly taller converted man. I have been going once a month for nearly 4 years... Brilliant 5 stars
A treatment nirvana. I have found the Reflexology treatment so beneficial, with a calm, welcoming ambiance. Mary is an experienced therapist and works wonders. Giving insightful understanding and a great ongoing holistic treatment, which I really look forward too. Highly recommend the Elemis Superfood Facial, which feels like a luxury but is definitely a must. It is healthy to be kind to yourself and enjoy the benefits of a lovely glowing skin. As I am middle aged I definitely feel the need to look after myself and this facial is a great up-lifter on all levels. I have really noticed the difference with my skin, and enjoy all the lovely Elemis products Mary uses
I highly recommend the treatments offered by Mary, they are incredibly therapeutic. I always relish my visits to her beautiful treatment room, it is such a tranquil place. An oasis of clam and perfect relaxation. Mary is such a talent and knowledgable therapist, who gives herself as well as her skills. I am so glad I found her.
I have been coming to Mary for several years, and I would highly recommend her treatments to anyone! I have tried a few different treatments and each have been amazing. The massages have especially been great for easing tension in my back and shoulders. Mary offers a really personal service, she is very professional, always so friendly and welcoming. I really look forward to my appointments and I wouldn't go anywhere else!
A visit to Mary is always a joy- her friendly professionalism puts me at ease straight away. I am looking forward to working my way through all of her treatments!
Mary is always very warm and welcoming. Her salon is very well organised and her treatments are excellent. She has also helped friends of mine with treatments and therapies. I cannot praise her highly enough!
I step into Mary’s treatment room looking and feeling terrible and come out looking and feeling revived ! Mary really knows what she is doing, I really trust her. Mary only uses the best quality products- I am an Elemis converted now! She really thinks about the individual needs in terms of skincare and wellbeing. I am really missing Mary throughout COVID lockdown, she is going to need an awful lot of wax when she reopens!
Mary is a very gentle, talented and skilled therapist. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her reflexology skills are incredible, she often picks up on issues before I even notice them and her treatment helps to minimise any problems. Recently I had a bad fall and bruised my ribs. Due to lockdown I was unable to see Mary for a few weeks, but when I did, one reflexology treatment reduced the pain in my ribs by 80%! I have also had beauty therapy treatments by Mary. Her attention to detail is excellent and her advice is always geared to what is best for the client. Her facials are amazing, relaxing and effective while her massages are wonderful, achieving total relaxation as well as easing muscle pain.
