With a naturally caring touch and warm welcoming approach Katie’s therapeutic massage is suitable as a deeper treatment to alleviate areas of tension or perfect as a relaxing treat.
Katie qualified with a diploma in Therapeutic Massage from the London College of Massage in 2011 where she continues to teach on a part-time basis. She has completed and continues to undertake further training with Jing Advanced Massage Training in Brighton to nourish her interest of supporting people to live more relaxed and pain free lives.
The treatment includes a range of techniques from Swedish Massage whilst combining these with the sensitivity and holistic perspective of Intuitive massage. Long, relaxing strokes are combined with pressure work on specific areas of tension. This approach includes elements of Shiatsu which are often used on the head, neck and face. Each massage treatment is unique and appropriate to the client’s particular needs on that occasion.
Therapeutic massage is suitable for all ages and can help treat a wide range of problems, to list a few: muscle aches and pains, back ache, stiff neck and shoulders, menstrual tension and PMT, migraine, insomnia, circulatory problems and cellulite reduction amongst many others.
Over 15years of bodywork experience practicing and later teaching yoga give Katie an understanding and intuitive feel for the body. Katie combines therapeutic massage with a number of soft tissue techniques including trigger point, myofascial release and stretching. Feedback from regular clients confirm her caring approach together with great technical ability create a safe, supportive environment for healing to take place.
Katie works from both Anderida in Forest Row and her own therapy space.

Really lovely lady. The massage was fantastic and Katie really knows what she's doing to find the aches and pains and treat them. I'm feeling a lot better already. Thank you. I definitely recommend her.

Katie's treatment room is in a tranquil, relaxing setting. She is extremely welcoming and makes you feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door. She worked on some nasty knots I didn't even know I had, which made me flinch at times - but with a deep tissue massage, no pain, no gain! She was very aware and always careful to make sure that I was OK. I think my next booking will be for a more relaxing Swedish massage before I go back to get the knots worked on again, but I am already feeling the benefits. I'm very grateful for the work Katie has done on me in just one session, and the knowledge she has so kindly imparted as well. There is no doubt I will be booking another session soon!

As I already told Katie her massage was the best I ever had. I had a very acute pain on my left shoulder, but as the massage advanced I noticed that my whole body was in need a scan, because I probably need to visit an Osteopath. After the treatment I was tingling and had this lovely warm feeling all over. However the pain returned the same night, but I really enjoyed the treatment! Pity Katie doesn't live a bit closer, but I think it's the doctor and Osteopath I need next! I don't know, if Katie reads this feedback herself, but a big thank you for her. She is such a lovely, friendly person that I could recommend her to any of my friends in a heartbeat! Helena

I had a few aches/pains/knots in my back and a deep tissue massage from Katie helped no end. It was great value for money and she is based in a lovely quiet setting. I would certainly recommend her and will be re-booking in the near future.

My deep tissue massage was a delight. The room ambiance, gentle music (optional) was a perfect antidote on such a dark and blustery December day. I particularly liked that she uses natural oils/waxes, of which I could choose the scent that spoke to me most. She is very open to questions, and made me feel very at ease.
I left Katie's massagerie feeling very relaxed and would definitely come back again. Many thanks!

Katie was very friendly and welcoming and gave a very relaxing and effective massage. The venue had ample parking and the massage room used lighting and sound to good effect. The massage table was very comfortable with heating. Will be booking again. Thank you, Katie.

I received a birthday voucher for Wahanda and after reviewing various salons in the area, I decided on Katie Melson for my deep tissue massage.
The first thing that drew my attention was the value - 1.5hr massage for £55. On arrival at Katie's home, I received the warmest of welcomes and in addition to being very professional, she made me feel very at ease. This was the another reason why I decided not to visit a spa as you don't always receive this level of attentiveness or personable service.
The massage room was quaint with a calming ambience and the massage itself was tailored perfectly to my requests.
I thoroughly recommend Katie and will certainly be revisiting very soon.
(Thanks Katie - good luck on the London to Brighton!)
