Che's Testimonials

Quite frankly I flopped onto Che's couch completely knackered. Her combination of Healing and Massage was amazing. The care and attention she put into each stroke eased my aching muscles and left me feeling a huge amount of relief. I can highly recommend Che.
MAXINE SMITH
Thank you Che, what a wonderful surprise to find you on my holiday. As we discussed this was out of my comfort zone, but within the first 3 seconds of meeting you I knew I was going to be fine. Che is so knowledgeable and so good at what she does I don’t think I will find anyone near where I’m based that will live up to my expectations now! I think I will have to come back on a monthly basis... you really have changed the way I feel. Thank you, thank you and thank you x
SHARON EVERETT
Che is a buzzy , radiant and brainy person who makes full use of time, so that many ideas and thoughts can be exchanged during her coaching sessions. She breaks up the session into manageable chunks and keeps you on your transformational toes, to make things happen in your life. Che is a resourceful dynamic and receptive cheerleader for resolving old patterns and stepping into new projects. Very much recommended. x
MADDY WU
I recently attended a wonderful retreat with Che & want to say a huge thank you for such a lovely weekend. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel so welcome & at ease. The weekend seemed to flow beautifully & I left feeling refreshed & revived, having learnt so much that I can now bring into my daily life. Looking forward to joining you again in the future xx
SAM PALMER
I had a really magical walk and talk coaching session with Che. I'm new to the area and she held space for me to release a lot of things that had been on my mind and 'holding' from a couple of difficult years. She listens and offers practical tools and advice. I would highly recommend - and I'll be booking another session soon 🙂
EMMA CULLEN
FB asks me what I recommend about Che… I have never come across someone so easy to talk to, so non-judgmental, kind and knowledgeable. Her retreat space is lovely and her massages are the best ❤ She even recently catered for my 83 year old Mum to have a mindfulness and mediation session including lunch, as the perfect birthday treat. Highly recommended!
ANGHARAD WRIGLEY
Che is just wonderful. Her massages are epic. She works on meridian lines, it’s amazing. Once my head hurt when she pushed my foot 🤯 couldn’t recommend more highly.
ANNA ASTLEY
Che is amazing, she intuitively knows what you need. I could feel a sense of release and connection around my body which was so needed! Thanks Che ✨💛
KATE BELLINGHAM
We went down for the weekend from Derby to attend training with Che in TCM and the Meridians - so worth it!! Just amazing - safe, well held and lots of learning, in a beautiful location. If you’re thinking about it, don’t hesitate, just do it!
RAFE NAUEN
Che put together a personalised programme for a retreat. From the moment I arrived I felt safe and cared for. The work we did together during the retreat, I will be forever grateful for. The 1-2-1 sessions, mindfulness, healing massage and super healthy food, was exactly what I needed to springboard me on to the next chapter of my journey. As you can probably tell...I HIGHLY recommend Che for anyone thinking of going on a retreat.
CLARE GOZDAWA
As soon as I met Che I felt relaxed. She makes you feel so welcome and cared for. Che took the time to get to know me and what I wanted from my session. I felt that she really listened. I had intuitive massage combined with energy healing and it was beyond amazing! Each part of the massage was always just enough to be relaxing but also feel it working away at my muscles, bringing energy back into me. I’d never tried Reiki before and wasn’t sure what to expect but I felt overcome with peace and rejuvenated.
ASHLEIGH
I was on holiday in the area, and based on her reviews, I booked up a 90 minutes massage with reiki. Che gave me a fantastic thorough massage to ease a very tight jaw, neck, shoulders, arms and hands, along with mid and lower back. Che is excellent at intuitive massage and found problems in areas I didn't know I had - my shoulders and neck felt so light afterwards, and I slept so well last night.
LINDA B
This place is a real gem. Treatment takes place in Che's cabin in her lovely garden, totally calm and private. Only in the area for a couple of days, Che made time for me to visit and I had some wonderful treatments and massage for my poorly back and shoulder. She also made some suggestions for exercises I should try in the future to keep my shoulders loose and feeling great. I would recommend anyone to go and see her. My one regret is I live 2 hours drive away - so I'll have to wait until I visit Gloucestershire again.

Che is a 1st Class Bodyworker, her Treatments always affect change at the Energetic level. During and after her Treatments the physical body feels nourished, the mind relaxes & the healing Qi catalyzed by Che keeps doing it's thing. Che and I have been swopping bodywork treatments for around six years now. Each time, the quality of the touch, presence, intuition and attention to detail exceeds the former. Che is One of a rare kind 💜 I am utterly grateful 🙏 Highly recommended!
SULEELA BARCLAY
Che is simply amazing and I totally recommend her. Her use of traditional Chinese medicine is based on such thorough understanding and also her perfect intuition. She listens carefully and ‘gets’ what you need to promote wellbeing in body mind and soul – I love my treatments with Che! 💕✨💛
KATE BELLINGHAM
Che is absolutely amazing, highly experienced and highly skilled therapist. Very friendly and caring. She helped us, through the most critical moments of our relationship. After just one initial session both, me and my partner left room completely different people. We felt 200% better when we left then when we came. We both would recommend Che to anyone who need support through the difficult times. Thank you Che, you are magician. ❤️☺️
ALBERT PRONIN
I went on a personalised 1:1 private retreat with Che and it was the most amazing experience. Che is a wonderful practitioner and provided such a safe and nurturing space. I got so much out of the coaching and the physical treatments, and enjoyed quiet time in the lovely cabin, and walking in the beautiful forest nearby. It was exactly what my mind and body needed. Thank you so much, Che, for such a transformative experience.
PHIL DE LA HAYE
We had the best hour with Che on a mindful forest walk, with a short meditation session at the end. We all learnt so many techniques and tips on how to deal with stress which I will definitely use in the future. I couldn’t recommend Che enough. She tailored her approach perfectly to our group and even my friend who isn’t into meditation etc enjoyed herself. I will definitely be booking in with Che again!
R MACK
Had a 2 hour massage that was amazing in itself, and the conversation had was open and stimulating. Would highly recommend.
MICHAEL BOOTH
First visit to Che and by no means the last. From the moment I arrived knew was in hands of a deeply caring person. Opted for 1.5 hours Deep Tissue Massage: have experienced some v good therapists in past (including in Sweden & California) but this exceeded all. Che works intuitively and the whole experience was only what I could call ‘transcendental’: post-treatment felt utter bliss which has carried through several days now - including some of the best sleep in many a nights. Emotionally and physically a real ‘release’ from built up tension and stress. Would recommend unreservedly. Thank you so much Che!
Peter B
I had one of the best massages ever with Che! I’m a difficult client due to hyperesthesia of the right side of my back, but Che adjusted her treatment and worked with me constantly to check how I was coping. We focussed on my neck and shoulders and it was a very thorough experience. Highly recommended!
Juliet M
I went to see Che last week, feeling exhausted and out of sorts. For the first time in over a month I am NOT desperately tired and actually feel awake! 🙂 It was so hard work being so tired every day, and my treatment with Che was an utter life saver. As well as feeling tired, I had bad skin, lots of aches and pains, and felt miserable. Che knew exactly what meridians to focus on and I felt a million times better the next morning!!! I couldn't recommend Che highly enough!
JACKIE URWIN
Working with Che has been life changing. I’ve been having life coaching sessions, which have been immensely helpful in getting me through an incredibly difficult time. She has helped me help myself. Che really takes the time to invest in her clients, she is caring, empathetic, warm, insightful and has a real knack of making you feel comfortable, supporting your journey with zero judgement.
