Mattea offers sessions for individuals as well as for mothers and babies. This includes pre- and postnatal treatments. Her treatments can help babies with issues such as birth trauma, development problems, misalignment and they can also improve the communication between mothers and their young child. Mattea can offer baby massage and can teach parents how to do it individually.

Mattea can utilise all her treatment modalities to suit individual client’s needs. She can combine her different specialisms and techniques, or stick to one modality, depending on which can give the maximum benefit to the well-being, health and wholeness of each client. Development of your personalised treatment therefore enriches over time.

Having been raised in a family where health and nature were part of everyday life, my love and fascination for holistic practice has been nurtured from a young age.

I progressed to study Art, Film and Languages and was drawn towards holistic health. This guided me to commit full time to energetic healing and today I have almost 30 years experience in the field.

During this time I have worked in many different environments including Private Clients, NHS Mental Health, Children’s Centre’s and at local community events, whilst gaining a number of qualifications

My strong and intuitive relationship with healing comes from a desire to continuously deepen my knowledge and understanding of health. I remain fascinated by and committed to bringing wholeness and wellbeing to my clients.

    Margaret

  • "I've had several massages with Mattea during my first pregnancy and they've all been wonderful - she is knowledgeable, caring and always keen to tailor her treatments to my needs. She also combines CST and massage which I've found to be very relaxing and beneficial. I would highly recommend her especially to any expectant mums!"

    Caroline

  • "I regularly have Bowen therapy and Indian Head massage with Mattea. Mattea is a very lovely and calming person. I always leave her feeling more relaxed than I’ve ever felt. The Bowen therapy has helped me treat the symptoms of an old injury in my neck as it has made such a difference. The massage gets rid of all the tight spots on my back and neck and leaves me feeling like a new person."
