I received a wonderful Thai yoga massage from Steve about a week ago and can simply say I will be returning again. The room I was treated in was divine and tranquil. The treatment itself was just what I needed and he was warm and professional in his approach - thanks again Steve... from one therapist to another�! More...

I look forward a lot to coming to see Steve. I can only echo the sentiments already expressed by previous reviewers and say that he is an exceptional therapist who tailors his massages to meet clients particular needs and requests. During his massage on me I can feel the tension that has built up in my body go and I feel so relaxed afterwards. Al Covo itself is very private, calm, quiet and peaceful and as it's just you and Steve he can give you his full attention. Highly recommended! More...

I am one of Hampshire’s most established male holistic therapists who has constantly tries new perspectives on therapy and trains others with his professional and amateur courses.

I provide online and remote consultations treatments and training which are grouped separately on my website as such.

I only have one client at a time in the suite so there is always social distancing. Cleaning and fresh air are carried out between client visits and I amply fulfil the Guild of Therapist’s Covid Precautions.
