About

A treatment with me will include a variety of techniques tailored to suit the needs or wants of the client. My treatment has evolved over the years through my training and travel experiencing different forms of massage and bodywork. I have taken the best of the approaches and incorporated them into my own form of massage therapy.

I have know Andrew for over 15 years now as a Massage Therapist and friend.

In terms of Massage; Andrew is both skilled and able to tune into the body, he uses innovation in his Application of massage techniques, tools and hot stones to give consistency a deep tissue massage, with out hurting you. This is indeed a real skill. I have had many massages all over the world Andrew is in the top two. He also cares for his clients !

As a trusted friend helped me with my wife in the last six months of her life with care and compassion.

I have no hesitation in recommending him to you.

Andrew is an amazing healer through his intuitive massage. I love the oils and the hot stones ! Before you know it Andrew has become a member of the family - he is a fantastic listener if that’s what you want, or just a strong understanding presence. Highly recommended for stress or injury.

I have had Andrew as a masseur for our family with every ache and pain and just for relaxation over the last twenty years and he has been a lifesaver and emotional uplifter…. when the aches and pains go the mood rises. There is not a more professional or sincere person than Andrew More...

"Andrew Skeates is utterly professional, and he immediately makes you feel at ease.
His massage is healing, deeply relaxing and life-enhancing.

I used to think of massage as an occasional luxury, but since I have known Andrew, I think of it as essential.

I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone."

"Andrew Skeates is an exceptional person and a marvellous masseur. We (my wife and I) have had massages of different kinds all over the world, and can truly say that Andrew is in the highest category of masseurs anywhere.
We have been massaged by Andrew for over ten years and his massages have never failed to be outstandingly excellent and creative. Over the years he has introduced new techniques (such as hot stone massage) without ever disturbing the pattern of intensive, pleasurable, relaxing, and reviving whole-body massage that is his hallmark. We have always felt reinvigorated and healthier after a massage from Andrew – and sometimes found ourselves weighing a pound lighter. We know that in the course of the massage we have breathed more deeply, relaxed more profoundly, and had our circulation invigorated more thoroughly, than at any time during the day.

One of the great benefits of having Andrew as a masseur is that he is extremely large and strong – truly a gentle giant. There is no huffing and puffing, no undue exertion if he wants to apply the deepest pressure (which is what we look for from a massage). His hands are huge and supple, and his skill is refined. He expertly applies a range of techniques drawn from different traditions (Swedish, Thai etc.) to give the most satisfying and therapeutic deep massage. He brings his sturdy treatment table to our house along with towels, healing oils, candles, and perfumes to create a wonderful environment for total relaxation. No client receives a ‘standard’ massage from Andrew, but up to 90 minutes of sheer pleasure and truly healing touch. He is also discreet, professional, and totally reliable.

Those who have been lucky to experience a massage at Andrew’s hands know how privileged we are to have his unique skills at our disposal to enhance our health and pleasure."

Andrew has been massaging me for over 20 years. I have had many massages from different therapists but none compare to a 90 min massage from Andrew Skeates. He is very sensitive but strong, calm and totally professional. I can't recommend him highly enough. More...

That's praise indeed - thank you!

Q&As

Seeing the difference after a massage - when people say 'Wow! I feel like a new person!' then I know I have done a good job.

My daughter is now 18 so it seems a long time ago but my partner and I wanted to be able to spend as much time with her as possible whilst she was growing up. We shared the child care and so being in charge of my daily timetable was really essential.

I arrive with my table, towels, essential oils and everything else needed - all you have to do is relax and let me work my magic.
It would be great if you could find a space big enough to take my massage table and enough room for me to move around it (I am quite a large chap).
I don't like to rush a massage and I know it takes 90mins to complete a treatment so that you are not left feeling that something hasn't been addressed.
