I have been going to Jan for a number of years, I've had various treatments from aromatherapy massages, myofascial release, each treatment expertly done by the lovely Jan and the weeks between appointments getting longer as she has worked her magic on my shoulders and back. Today I had my first KORE session, it was amazing, I feel as though I've been 'ironed out and stretched' but feel really good. Thank you so much Captains Den, see you soon xx.
Response : Thank you Gill. Nice to see you again and for you to experience the new KORE therapy available. It’s is so amazing, working to find the route of cause/symptoms. ? .

Just WOW! My full body massage was donated to me for running half a marathon for charity, I couldn't of asked for anything better. Jan found my knots and relaxed them and I feel fabulous. Very caring and professional masseur, relaxing and calming atmosphere, great breathing techniques I need to do more often and top tips on posture. Highly recommended for anyone who is thinking of going to Jan……. I'll never use anybody else from now on. I'm sure she has got more than 1 pair of hands ? It felt so good. I also had a gentle back stretch which was amazing and I'm definitely going back again. Very friendly lady and very professional. I thought it was so good I brought a voucher for a present on the day……. To give someone else the wonderful experience of Jan's expert hands and top advice. Thank you so much Jan, I loved every minute xx.Moreexpand_more

Had my first full body massage with Jan today, well what a fabulous experience, from the consultation to the full massage, Jan was very friendly, professional and I felt completely at ease through the whole experience. Thank you so much and……I will be back xx.
Response : Gill, was lovely to meet you and realise the network of people we both know! You are more than welcome to return, it was a pleasure to administer the treatment. As your first treatment, you relaxed quickly and benefitted from the therapeutic properties applied in the oils. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the whole experience and will be passing on my business cards to family and friends, benefiting from the loyalty scheme.

A must have for relaxation and treatment for any of those niggles! . Jan is amazing at what she does and will start your first session really getting to know you and any problem areas you have whether that be physical or psychological. From this she will combine the best oils for the job. I have had on 2 occasions a full body aromatherapy massage and a foot spa experience and I only wish it was possible to have a full day massage because they were amazing! . Jan is excellent at what she does and makes you feel comfortable from the minute you walk through the door, allowing the relaxation to begin from the start. I suffer with pain in my joints regularly due to hyper-mobility and the massages help prevent further problems. I also have a history of depression and making Jan aware of this she could use the correct oils to keep it at bay. I would recommend her to everybody! And anyone thinking of getting a massage should not think twice before heading in her direction :) excellent value for money.Moreexpand_more
Response : Beckie, thank you so much for this lovely review. It has been my pleasure treating you to a relaxing massage again. Yes, all essential oils and some carrier oils are used in conjunction with feedback of medical history both physical and psychological. Relaxation aids the mind and body, restoring a balance required for wellbeing.

I had my first Holistic Therapy a couple weeks ago I heard good things about it all before my appointment and was hoping to have some improvement for my back and shoulders. I'd been having a lot of problems with my back and shoulders for 2 years and had countless times going to the doctors about sharp chest and back pains typical doctors just giving me painkillers but over the past 2 years the pain just keeps coming back and getting worse and I really didn't want to take anymore painkillers I wanted a solution! Talking to Jan she was very informative I really liked how she mixes the different oils to suit the person I found that gave a lovely personal touch. She used oils that wouldn't effect my asthma which I found helped my chest with my breathing. Also she asked if I could point out where im feeling the pain the most and after the massage she showed me what tension parts she found and too that I was surprised as I didn't realise I had problems in my lower back and more on my left shoulder. After that she talked to me how I can help improve my back with different stretches she showed me and how I can do things to help me not strain my back while im working {I work in a pub so I do a lot of lifting}. I really appreciate that Jan took time to talk to me before and after she has a warming and caring soul. Im really happy with the help she gave me and im looking forward to my next appointment.

I had a full body massage a month or so after having a baby and after 9 months of aches and pains, I felt amazing again. As I'd only had one or two massages before I was a bit apprehensive but as soon as I arrived I felt welcome, relaxed and in very good hands! I've been back again since for yet another amazing massage with specially selected oils, and have booked myself my next treat too! I'd highly recommend Jan to anyone :).
Response : Thank you Hollie. A pleasure treating you. A wider range of oils to choose from now your baby is older. (Aromatherapy is suitable for any age, pregnancy and breast feeding mums. Specific oils are used, others omitted). Hollie, today's blend of oils met your objective for the session. You responded well to the treatment and had a good relaxation session too! Take care of you and rest when you get chance. See you in May! :).
Sue Turner

As always Jan provides a friendly and professional service. I had a back/neck massage which was both beneficial and very relaxing. Oils are specifically selected to suit your individual needs. Lots of useful advice too :).
Response : Thank you for your feedback Sue. I am so glad you found the back, neck and shoulder massage beneficial. I based the choice of oils on your individual needs and objective for your session, freshly blending them at your appointment. Look forward to welcoming you back on your next appointment. :).

Every visit to Jan is an enjoyable one. She is very professional and gives you a treatment tailored to your needs. I felt very relaxed and at ease straight away. I was having pains in my back and Jan left me feeling fresh and pain free and I had the best nights sleep I had ever had for a long time! The treatment room is very comfortable and private and I always feel welcome. I always leave with sound advice and feeling brand new! I highly recommend Jan! Words really don't do her justice!
Response : Chris, Thank you very much for this review. Each treatment is tailored to meet your holistic needs. I am very pleased to read that you felt welcome , relaxed and at ease straight away. This helps my delivery of treatment and enhances your experience and benefits. After care advise is a must, to aid continued progression to well being and improvement of areas of pain.

Had an amazing full body massage, facial and foot spa experience at Captains Den. After a few stressful weeks at work I feel fully refreshed and relaxed. This was my second time visiting and I will definitely be going again. Thank you Jan!
Response : Thank you so much for this review El. It was my absolute pleasure to pamper you for your birthday treat. I'm so pleased you feel refreshed & relaxed. This was my aim for you. I wanted to deliver a restorative treatment for you. Glad it has done the trick! :).

I have been coming to Captain's Den for a while now, I love the service provided by Jan. She is always extremely friendly and professional. I normally have an aroma therapy back massage, they are amazing. You get to chose which oils you would like and then relax in heaven. I've also had the facial and full body massage which are equally as good! I would highly recommend Captain's Den for any treatments.
Response : Rachel, Thank you. It is always a pleasure seeing you. I look forward to providing the aromatherapy massages and facials. You respond so well to them, relaxing and allowing the therapeutic properties to work. Look forward to catching up with you next time.

Deborah Brain

I was the 100th client and I had a foot spa and a full body aromatherapy massage. I have never felt so relaxed in my life. By the time Jan had finished I was so relaxed I was ready for a sleep. I would highly recommend these treatments for total relaxation and also to pamper your self. Jan loves her work and really looks after you making the experience even better. Can't wait till the next one. X.
Response : Deb. So pleased you found it soooo relaxing and you enjoyed your experience. I look forward to treating you on your next session.
Gillian Howe

I have been attending Captains Den for a few months now for treatment on a shoulder problem. This has been so successful that I will carry on going just for the pure pleasure. The service given is second to none, very professional but also friendly. I would highly recommend it.
Response : Thank you for this review Gillian. You have progressed well with your shoulder discomfort and now manage your health well.
Rachel NASH
Stafford
I have been coming to see Jan for about a year now and I am delighted with the service that she provides. Jan is very welcoming, friendly and professional. A consultation is carried out before the treatment discussing specific problems that need to be addressed during the treatment and which aromatherapy oils will be best suited. I have tried several different treatments including the full body massage, facial and aromatherapy back massage which are all amazing. The products used for the facial are of high quality and all plant base and the massages have helped improve my back problems. I would highly recommend Captain's Den Holistic Therapy to anyone whether it be purely for pleasure or because you have certain back problems.
Response : Thank you for this lovely review Rachel :).
Lee Melady

Booked for treatment on a reoccurring and painful back problem. Excellent and thorough consultation prior to treatment which immediately puts you at ease. The treatment was explained expertly and professionally. The treatment itself was first class. After care and helpful advise was also very reassuring and again re-enforced how professional the business is. Would recommend without hesitation.
Response : Thank you very much for your feedback Lee. Hope you feel more at ease.
Matthew Sargeant
Stafford
Great pre-consultation before therapy began very friendly and professional. Treatment itself was amazing and jan catered for problem areas specified in the consultation. Expect advice was given after the treatment so aftercare is never a worry. Great service will be using again!
Response : Thank you very much Matt for your feedback. Look forward to treating you again.
Samantha Main
Stafford
Jan is fantastic and so professional. The full body massage was heavenly and exactly what I needed. Jan chooses the oils for each individual person and matches them to exactly what you want to achieve from the session. Not only is it relaxing but she gives you feedback on any tension she finds and then gives advice on how to relieve pain and stress on that particular area. I'm going back in September. Thank you :).
Response : Thank you very much for your feedback Samantha. I am glad you enjoyed your session and treatment.
Julie Turner

I have had several massages with Jan. She is a thorough professional. The pain I had been experiencing in both my shoulder and back have never been better. Will continue to visit Jan to maintain the good work she has done. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Response : Thank you very much Julie for your feedback. Here to continued progress and comfort for you.
