Hazel has been a full time massage therapist since 1980, graduating in UK. She has continued her studies in various modalities of massage, health and fitness and uses a combination to form her own style of massage.

She organizes the two offices and 16+ therapists to offer you the highest quality of service and greatest value for money to as many people as possible. Hazel endeavors to make the offices the most caring and safe places for the therapists to be able to follow their own goals of helping and healing others.
