About
I'm Helen and I've been a professionally qualified therapist for twenty years. I was very interested in Aromatherapy and essential oils but it wasn't until I became redundant from my office job that I considered training and turning my interest into a career. Even after I qualified it took some years before I took the plunge and became self-employed and added other massage skills to my work. I have a particular interest in aromatherapy and a love of essential oils which I use in my treatments. I am also interested in the way our modern lifestyles affect our posture and stress levels both of which can be greatly helped by massage. There is nothing more satisfying than helping other people feel better after a treatment. Our digital world means that we are constantly looking at screens and this impacts our neck, head, shoulders and back. Massage can help alleviate the muscular aches and tension associated with this. Research has also shown that massage can be very effective in lowering stress levels and boosting the immune system, leaving you calmer, happier and more productive. Soothe your mind and body, ease aches and tension with a wonderful massage treatment. I look forward to hearing from you.

Testimonials I've been having regular back massage from Helen for the last 2 or 3 years.. Recently I've had a severe flare up of arthritis in my spine and so I've had several full body massages. I find Helen's approach very calming and reassuring. She is very skillful at finding the root of the pain and does all that she can to alleviate it and her treatment has been beneficial to me. O M, Rossendale Helen has been coming to me for 6 years. I find her punctual, efficient, professional and reliable. Helen is also friendly and patient. I enjoy her visits enormously and always look forward to seeing her. K M, Bury l have been having regular massages for a few years now and must say how relaxed I feel afterwards. I have recommended friends who are all benefiting from their massages. B W, Rossendale I've enjoyed several of Helen's therapies after my barre class. Indian Head Massage or Acupressure are the perfect way to relax. The barre and 'Calm Touch' together set you up for the rest of the day. E G, Prestwich I highly recommend inviting Helen of Calm Touch Therapies to your home to give you any of her lovely treatments. In a busy world or if you are currently house bound, this is an excellent way to get some essential treatment for relaxation and wellbeing. Treat yourself! LB, Bury |
