My consultant suggested gentle massage as is tolerated by most people undergoing chemotherapy , and is sufficient to release "endorphins," the "feel good" chemicals released by the brain that can reduce pain. He advised avoiding vigorous, deep tissue as I would probably find it to painful. So I began the search for the right Holistic and spiritual massage spa that would suit me. I found that the larger well known spas would not offer massages to people currently on chemotherapy. I then found Mandala Spa through a internet search and decided to book myself a aromatherapy massage. I met Kannika and was shown into a lovely ambient treatment room, That had a beautiful aroma, relaxing waterfall sounds and a lovely heated treatment table. After explaining that Iam receiving chemotherapy and have a port a cath, I had a aromatherapy massage that was the perfect pressure and really helped relax me. Kannika then recommend coming weekly for her 7 Chakra Balancing Massage ā with Massage and energy healing and Quantum frequency Healing. My aim(and hers) was to try to help me feel better about myself and not always see my body as something that always causes me pain. And to hopefully help me relax and therefore lower my stress levels.
The results have been phenomenal. Kannika has succeeded in lifting my mood, improving my quality of sleep and has helped with my overall wellbeing. And this in turn has helped with my pain levels and how I now view my body as it has made me realise that my body can feel good for a while. For me this is greatly improving my quality of life and and I plan to make this a regular part of my treatment regime. Iam lucky to have found such wonderfully professional and empathic massage and spiritual healing practitioner, she...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI've had two massage treatments here with Kannika. One was reflexology and another was chakra balancing. This was my first time experiencing each treatment. Kannika is very warm, welcome, professional and I really enjoyed both treatments. Kannika talked through what to expect both times which was really insightful and helpful.

The reflexology pressure and treatment was perfect The chakra balancing involved choosing a crystal that corresponds with a chakra, a massage followed with aromatic oils and scents, techniques to raise frequency and an energy healing and reading with an opportunity to select a single tarot card and receive a reading. The chakra balancing was very customised and the feedback given in my opinion was really reflective and was true to me. I felt in very safe hands and generosity and positive healing energy was strong and I'd recommend to anyone. I will definitely...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreFrom the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calmingāsoft lighting, gentle music, and the subtle scent of essential oils set the tone for what turned out to be an incredibly restorative experience. Kannika was warm and professional, taking time to understand my needs and areas of tension before beginning.
The massage itself was a perfect balance of firm pressure and soothing strokes. Every knot in my shoulders melted away, and I could feel the stress leaving my body with each movement. What stood out most was Kannikaās intuitive touchāknowing exactly where to focus without needing constant direction.
By the end of the session, I felt lighter, looser, and deeply relaxed. It wasnāt just a massageāit was a reset for both body and mind. Iāll definitely be returning, and Iād recommend it to anyone in need of a little self-care or a break from the chaos...
