An internationally sought-after masseuse & so much more - it is difficult to accurately describe or do justice to Dawn's skills! Every layer of tension in a client's body is a personal challenge to break down, release or remove. Dawn is renowned for her ability to dramatically improve clients’ wellbeing, especially those who live with pain, lack of movement or discomfort, or who have had ongoing limited success with other therapies.

Dawn's abilities & successes are probably best described by her clients & she is both humbled & proud of the compliments & thanks received for her treatments.

As well as providing ‘the best’ deep tissue/ sports massage (clients’ words!), using 100% therapeutic grade oils Dawn can help with back pain; chronic or acute, migraines, post surgery or illness, muscular tension and pain, shoulder, hip, knee or other joint problems, physical or mental trauma: pregnancy & following childbirth, even those living with terminal illness.

Personal Message From Dawn

I have been treating, caring for and healing people for more than 20 years. As a qualified nurse since 1986, I have worked in a Rheumatology department with Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists, rehabbing patients with acute and chronic joint conditions & prescribing specific exercise. This ‘conventional’ medical experience, combined with extensive training in various forms of massage (and many other complementary therapies) and cranio-sacral therapy (a form of osteopathy) & 20 years of experience, has resulted in my signature treatment: a totally unique holistic service. I draw on a combination of many different techniques and therapies to give each client an individual treatment with a therapeutic result.

I see it as using which ever ‘tool from my tool-box’ for each person at the time- many clients who I seen regularly during the past years have marvelled that they have never had the same treatment twice!

I have been asked on many occasions what I would describe myself as, and after much thought I would consider myself as a ‘facilitator and fixer’…. I assist the body to start its own healing process. I often see a dynamic effect (even following one 90 min session) and clients have seen such a reduction or complete cessation in their original symptoms, as to render them lost for words! They have later told me they truly believed no-one was capable of giving a true therapeutic massage (a real ‘treatment’) and that they feel so very different… which is why I intend to be treating people for another 20 years!

Testimonials

Dawn certainly deserves the title “best kept secret in Cornwall” and as someone who has discovered her, rightly, I should keep my mouth shut and keep the secret. However, as one who has suffered from a bad back and has been acquainted with the misery that it brings, it only seems fair to share this Cornish secret! If you, like me, like decisive action and results then Dawn is the answer and I whole heartedly recommend her knowing how much she has done to put me firmly on the road to recovery and keeping me there.

Mr J Cayzer-Colvin

Having received a completely rejuvenating treatment from Dawn at the Tresanton in St Mawes, I realised how poor the available alternatives were in London; it’s very rare to find a therapist like Dawn who has such a holistic and perceptive awareness of your treatment needs. It’s fantastic to that Dawn now has a regular and easily accessible practice in Central London.

Mr R Shenfield

I train intensively five times a week and my muscles had become very tight and stressed, so much so that exercising was doing me more harm than good and my performance was dropping. I found Dawn on my fitness website and was really impressed by the fact that she tailors the treatment to the individual and is able to draw on a lot of expertise in order to find the right treatment. Not only is Dawn a friendly and warm person but she also listens which means that by the time she begins the treatment she has a good understanding of you and your body and how to put it right.

Dawn has treated me a number of times now and although it can sometimes be slightly physically painful as the muscles were so tight, the good she has done me is amazing. The muscles have been loosened up and I am able to train effectively for longer. At the same time a couple of postural issues have been sorted out. Dawn is a holistic practitioner in the true sense of the word; she addresses problems affecting each individual as a whole. I cannot thank her enough or recommend her more highly.
