Makepeace and Massage - Didcot

Going to see Carmen is a holistic experience and one I look forward to each month. Everything including the drive up to clinic feels thoughtful. The setting is BEAUTIFUL and sets the tone for treatment.

I go to see Carmen for relaxation and for when I’m struggling with pain. I also go to see her when I’ve let stress creep up on me!
She really listens and in turn provides a truly tailored treatment. Her knowledge of the body, how it moves and how we experience things is the best I’ve experienced.
However the best part of the treatment is feeling so safe in Carmen’s hands, that you can really relax and unclench your body because you just know that she cares and wants the very best for you.
I thoroughly recommend her to anyone- if you have pain, recovering from an injury, if stress is a factor in your life or if you just want an exceptional standard of informed soft tissue therapy. Don’t wait, just go!
Thank you for taking care of me.

Carmen is a beautiful, caring and healing therapist.
I thoroughly enjoyed a 90 minute massage, experiencing a relaxing and restorative treatment, helping soothe tired & painful muscles.
Highly recommend Carmens peaceful space and soothing treatments.

It was so nice to meet Carmen and discuss my treatment. She has such knowledge in how to deal with my situation. Very happy to recommend anybody to her practice.

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING A scientist who has transcended the limits of science to have a truly wholistic practice. You can 100% count on her true understanding of the anatomy, the practicalities that this involves and her multi-layer, deep understanding of all the other systems within the body, mind and emotions that affect human mechanics.

She is wholesome, genuine and ethical. She dedicates her entire set of tools to adjust her treatments & her focus for solutions that will achieve most effective and rapid resolution to health.

Our goto in the family! Our family is comprised of: - an extremely focused business achiever male with tension issues allover; a health-focused menopausal woman with all the possible issues that phase of life brings (including a fractured foot with soft tissue damage); a cartesian young adult male with occasional general tension; and, a young adult female powerlifter and university student with associated pains & impacts.

I would say that there is nothing she cannot understand about your body's mechanical & systemic issues. I would venture a guess and say that If she cannot help, you need medical help.

I can wish you the very best because you're in good hands if you see Carmen.

I met Carmen one Saturday morning following a Parkrun event and explained the issue I was having with my left foot. This was some years ago and I now have a regular monthly appointment, not just to work on my regular aches and strains but to enjoy some serious down time.
I have become much more serious about running since I first met Carmen and so potentially cramps and misalignment could have held me back. I even achieved my first half marathon last month which I am convinced would not have happened without the regular treatment I benefit from. Thankyou Carmen!

Initially, I came to Carmen with an acute problem, but was so impressed by her that I now treat myself to a monthly visit. Not only is she knowledgeable and highly skilled, but she has the knack of really listening and asking the questions that let her get to the root cause of issues. Spending time with her in her beautiful treatment room is an investment in my body to make sure I can carry on playing the sport I love. I come away feeling amazing, often with sound advice about self-care in between visits and always look forward to returning. I can’t recommend her more highly.

From the moment I set foot in the treatment room I felt at ease. Carmen brings her understated knowledge and experience coupled with an innate ability to truly listen to your words and body. For me this has translated into a trusted and hopeful path to reduce and manage a complex display of chronic pain. Whether it’s your first treatment or you’re looking for a different approach I’d throughly recommend Makepeace & Massage.

I'm in the process of having massages with Carmen. Having suffered with hip pain for just over 5 years. Carmen isn't just wonderful at massaging and relieving me of pins and needle and other aches from this injury but also very knowledgeable, and caring to want to understand where this pain has come from. To do this Carmen has spent her own time looking into my pain but also every session she gives me more time, I'm sure than I'm paying for! A very clever, warm, personable and calm natured with a genuine empathy and just generally lovely to be around. I have no hesitation recommending Carmen and I will continually enjoy my session's, which help so much with pain relief. Thank you so much ❤
