Rob came through with very little notice and delivered an urgent full body therapy session. Highly recommend his service and skill set 👌🏼

I was staying at a friend's in Frome when my neck and shoulders' pain became too much to bear. I looked on this site and found Rob who happily drove from Bath to give me a wonderful 1h00 massage at home.
He easily switched the pressure to accommodate my body's need and we had a lovely chat.
Rob is a very knowledgeable masseur and an all around good man. I am very happy that I chose him to sort out my back.

Tim
I had a great massage from Rob this week, who was brilliant at immediately locating and then dealing with the very tight knots in my legs. Just the right pressure and intensity to get to the root of the issues, without ever being too much. And the time flew by - I felt I’d only just laid down when suddenly it was an hour later and time to get up again. And I slept properly for the first time in ages that night. Rob was friendly, gentle in manner and put me completely at my ease. It was the first time I had been treated by him, but it certainly won’t be the last - thank you, Rob, for a first rate massage!

I have quite a few health conditions, inc Osteoarthritis, ddd, Fibromyalgia. I also have spinal injuries from car accident. Rob has managed to literally keep me moving, removing knots where many have failed. The best massage I have ever had. Now going weekly & my range of movement is improving rapidly. Rob is a great masseur, very intuitive & has an amazing warmth in his hands I've never experienced before! Highly recommended. More...

Thanks for the incredibly soothing and relaxing massage Rob.I slept for an hour after you left and then slept all night! I awoke feeling that I had had an all over body workout but in the nicest way. I feel so relaxed, all that horrid stress and tension has gone - so no pain today. I recommend you. I was not drowning in oil ( the coconut oil has left my skin softer and more supple) and the flowing massage was so much better than having thumbs and elbows digging into various points to the point of discomfort. The bottle warmer is safe! More...

As a professional photographer I suffer a great deal with back and shoulder pain from carrying my kit all day. Rob was able to come to my home where he worked on my back and shoulders. He was professional yet extremely personable which made me feel right at ease. I felt a difference in my shoulder immediately after and will certainly be booking Rob again. An affordable yet vital service for those who suffer from those work related aches and pains. Five stars. More...

What do you love most about your job?
Meeting people and helping them feel good about themselves.
No two massages are the same, and clients who book me regularly appreciate my blend of a structured routine blended with intuition.
I've worked on a customer with fybromyalgia for example, who returns on a fairly regular basis.
It's also nice to hear people's stories, what makes them tick as human beings.
What inspired you to start your own business?
To be more in charge of my own destiny. Being polymathic, massage is another string to an eclectic bow.
I'm a tactile person and I love massage.
Why should our clients choose you?
Why book a mobile massage? You're at home and in your own space. You won't have the hassle of driving, parking, walking to and from the salon, driving home...undoing a great chunk of the work you went to have done in the first place.
I'm reliably informed I'm extremely good, very experienced, approachable, personable and will tailor to best suit your requirements.
Also...I take great pride and am passionate in my work.
As a professional point of note it does costs Bark Credits to respond to requests, and your replies are always appreciated and welcome...even if it's a polite decline I do appreciate the courtesy.
Don't be shy....give me a try. X
