It was the first time in months that I’d been, and no pain or discomfort in my back. When the usual question came “how’s your back? Is it still really bad?” I could say with a big smile ‘it’s really good thanks! I found a miracle worker in Great Haywood!” X x”  LK, September 2019

She seemed much calmer throughout, didn’t get ill, as she normally does AND has just heard that she achieved a 1st.  So a very big thank you from me. Whatever you did, it was magic and I will be forever grateful.  With love,  Gayle x”  GN, July 2019

When I arrived home I needed to work, but made the conscious decision not to so that I could feel the wonderful benefit of Tracey’s work all evening……I had the best nights sleep, and woke up with a spring in my step.

“I have had some treatments with Tracy, who has used The Dorn Method on me. I had a variety of symptoms and issues, but I can honestly say I am much improved since I started seeing her. I suffer from debilitating tiredness, and over the last few weeks, since I have seen her, realise that this has eased quite considerably – I no longer feel that I can’t function, and actually feel like I have some energy occasionally! I also suffered from quite severe period problems (despite the ‘best’ efforts of conventional medicine..) and literally overnight this has improved immeasurably, and I can honestly say this has been the best result ever! Additionally, she has completely cured my daughter of restless leg syndrome, which was causing her to be completely exhausted as she wasn’t able to sleep until very late at night. She is a different person, and feels so much better!” Sally W, September 2016

Tracey sure knows her stuff. I had a session with her the other day, just the one word, FABULOUS. Well, loads more but I know I’ll be back for more which is good enough of an endorsement if you ask me. Will be in touch to book a repeat performance.” Marie H, September 2016

Tracey truly is a miracle worker. I went to see her yesterday and was in cronic pain with my back. I hobbled in bent over. She worked on the areas I had problems with using the Dorn method and I walked out a lot straighter. When my husband dropped me off for my appointment he said to Tracey I need you to perform a miracle and when he picked me up she told him she had. I can now attend a very important meeting today because of her treatment. I cannot thank Tracey enough. Thank you.” Kelly Nation, July 2016

“Look Tracey what our household now has! Here’s mine, husband has one and each of the three children do too. We started on Sunday and love our “Success Jars”.  Many thanks for the last few Thursday’s training sessions, you offer not only information but support, encouragement, fun and inspiration x” Natalie S, July 2016

“Thank you for the wonderful course you delivered last week.  Looking forward to the next one”  BK, July 2016

“I have had issues with my neck, shoulders, knees and lower back for around 3 years now. I have received other treatments for this however never had much relief with them. Since seeing Tracey and receiving my dorn treatment 11 weeks ago I have found the issues have been significantly improved and continue to get better with each treatment. This has meant I am able to spend more time playing with my children at home and I have found my working days more manageable. Thank you Tracey. You have managed to relieve my pain and discomfort when others failed. I would highly recommend this Tracey and this treatment to others.”  MN, July 2016

Hi Tracey, just a quite note to say thanks for the great sessions you have led over the last few weeks. You were talking to someone before I went today so didn’t get chance to say thanks.  You’re sessions although the topics have been quite serious, we have still managed to have fun which is one of you’re aims.  Hope to bump into you again in the future, thoroughly enjoyed the sessions you have delivered and I’ll keep “the picture” on my phone to remind me in the difficult times of the mindset I need to be in”  AH, June 2016

“Another great neck and back treatment.  I’ve noticed a huge difference in my movements and also nowhere near as much pain and aching.  Tasks such as bathing the kids and playing with the kids have been made much easier.  Also when sitting at my computer there is less pain at the top of my shoulders”.  MN, June 2016 – after 2 sessions of Dorn Therapy

Brilliant session. Very thought provoking” AH, June 2016 – signs of depression workshop

You were great. Thank you so much Tracey for delivering such an informative and interesting workshop” SW, June 2016 – signs of depression workshop

“Great treatment of my neck and back. I feel like a new man!” Mat N, May 2016

Dear Tracey.  Thank you very much for my Dorn Method treatment. Having had the treatment outside in the sunshine made it a little bit more special.   Having had lower back pain for a good month as well as aches and stiffness in my right shoulder and neck area I can honestly say the Dorn Method has made a fantastic improvement.  My lower back pain has disappeared since the alignment of my pelvis and leg length. My shoulder and neck aches and stiffness are much reduced and my shoulder mobility vastly improved. I have also slept much better since the treatment.  I love the fact it’s a gentle treatment with such great results and would highly recommend it to everyone.  Your personality, enthusiasm, care and knowledge makes the whole treatment a fabulous experience.  I will be back for another treatment soon.  Thanks again.  Diana”  Diana White, May 2016 – after one session of Dorn Method Therapy

“Huge thanks for your help with the copy of my new brochure” Norman R, May 2016

“Thanks for yesterday, already feeling the benefits.  I’ve been sat at my computer for the last 2 hours and nowhere near as uncomfortable as prior to the treatment.  There is still a slight niggle in my shoulder and neck, but nowhere near as much as previous.  I’ve even found a difference within my everyday life.  Even when doing simple tasks like putting my shoes on and driving.  My neck, shoulders and back seem more relaxed and less tight, making movements much easier”  MN, May 2016 – after one session of Dorn Method Therapy

“A great treatment on my back & neck” Mat N, May 2016

“I have received great reviews back from our session with you especially the treatments you gave. Most people were happy to discuss and identify what stress is and where it comes from and also to receive advice on how to deal with it using simple methods i.e. take a break, leave your e-mails.  The information sheets you left us with are very useful. The session, in my opinion, made a stronger bond to the team and I have seen improvements in communication between certain individuals. I know the hands on making items went down very well, so overall I would say it was a great success! I enjoyed listening to some parts myself and especially liked how you dealt with the activists of the group, great job thank you Tracey.” Paul Walters, Stafford Industrial Supplies, May 2016

 What a wonderfully uplifting meeting this morning, thank you to all who attended and thank you Tracey Nixon for sharing with us your incredibly moving and inspirational story as well as showing us how to empower ourselves using natural therapies” Alison Townsend, April 2016

“Thank you once again for coming in to speak to our students on Tuesday. The feedback I have received has been very positive and the students felt they now have some practical strategies they can try out when they are preparing for their examinations”.  Carrie Cain, Head of Sixth Form, Friary School, Lichfield, April 2016

Feeling wonderful and joyful is how I came away from my first visit to Tracey at Plum Essence. From the moment I walked in I knew I was in the right place. We had a chat but I wasn’t anxious. Tracey is very pleasant and welcoming. I had crystal chakra healing and reiki. Really brought me back to my centre, realigned my chakras, got rid of all that negative energy I had within me and reunited my with my inner child. Also cleared up a lingering injury in my shoulder. Through the affirmations made I can really say I have knocked down a number of walls built up within me, opened my heart and mind to my potential and freed my spirit once more. It all added up to a very joyous experience that I would have no hesitation in recommending any of Tracey’s services to anyone, and one I will be happy to experience again. Thank you.” Mike Way, April 2016

You have reawakened and enlightened my spirit Tracey. My inner child was with me throughout the session, I haven’t been able to connect for ages, and we have set loose negative energies and are eager to move forward as one again. I can’t tell you just how wonderful the guided chakra meditation was, as I could never describe the vivid colours and overwhelming sense of well being you helped me achieve. Thank you. Also for healing the bursitis in my shoulders. Truly amazing results. I feel revived and yes, an amazingly emotional experience, but one that left me feeling absolute joy. Bless you.” Mike Way, April 2016

Great treatment this afternoon by @plumessence. Feeling extremely relaxed and de-knotted!” Mat N, April 2016

“18 months ago my self esteem was so low that I went on a belief changing course in an attempt to get myself out of the rutt I was in.  It worked!!!!!…. not long after I had completed the course I quit my job and started to work for myself from home.  I’ve had my wobbles since and still have some demons but I can use the programme to put myself back in check.  I have the lovely Tracey Nixon to thank for that!  Since then I’ve learned the science behind positive mindset and goal mapping.  So with the belief and the know how who can stop me??  The answer is nobody!!!” Gaynor Ward, February 2016

“Thanks for the treatment, excellent as usual” JA, February 2016

Hi Tracey, I just wanted to say … I support you wholeheartedly with your work. My hubby had tried to commit suicide (fortunately miscalculated something, not messy and so was sectioned for a while) some years before we met, whilst in the depths of depression. He acknowledges that it was a cry for help. I also know people whose sons have committed suicide, I don’t generally hear about the attempts, I think because people feel shame in some way. I can see that men are more at risk, it’s tricky subject but need to be much more out in the open.” SD, February 2016

Re: Your nomination for Networker of the Year, congratulations! I haven’t known you for long but you’ve introduced me to referral based networking which has helped link me with people I never thought I’d have made contact with. I appreciate your help greatly, thank you!” Benjamin Kalsi, Bear Kap, January 2016

“You have linked me successfully with a guy who valued my stamp collection, this came out quite naturally in a conversation that you knew someone.  Very good at listening and picking up information about people which sticks with you.  If you say you are going to do something eg. send text\email etc then you invariably do.  Strike me as a very determined person, who always has a great smile and is genuinely interested in her work and clients, I never feel that you are going through the motions.”  Neil S, January 2016

“I like how you treat all businesses, however big or small as equally worthy and welcome to your networking events – as though you understand that everyone works just as hard for what they achieve.  And the way you run WiRE, always wanting everyones input and ideas… How you always say “It’s your group” – I think that is worth a mention.  Most networking groups have their set ways and can not or will not change.  Good luck!” Karen Naylor, Fidd.ly Web Designs, January 2016

“Networking can be seen as a pink and fluffy environment.  But Tracey is crystal clear on what’s expected from networkers in terms of their contributions and their energy.  She’s adamant that it’s not all one way and that you learn by getting in and getting your hands dirty.  She’s got a strong edge for persistence too  and isn’t afraid to push boundaries alongside the encouragement and motivation.  It’s a style that suits me because it means that the environment that you’re part of, is strong on outcomes and delivery which is right up my street”  Carole Renshaw, Sincere Moments, January 2016

“Your knowledge and presentation of essential oils had the group delighted.  They still use the info”  Alison Taylor, January 2016

“A bit from me for how you’ve really helped me to meet up with useful contacts.  Tracey has an excellent portfolio of business contacts, which she has built over the last few years in her professional networking environment.  Having taken the time and effort to meet fellow networkers for one-to-one interviews, Tracey has gathered a wealth of knowledge about each person, their business and strengths, so that when either a client or colleague needs assistance in a particular area, she is able to direct them towards the most suitable contact.  Tracey is one of the most valued people I have had the pleasure of meeting and over the last 3 years of our acquaintance, has provided me with both invaluable information and people leading to huge business growth for myself.  This would be a truly deserved award for Tracey.”  Jayne Smith, That’s Ideal, January 2016

” Tracey connected me up with a book-keeper who has introduced me to 8 new businesses so far.  Connected me up with one of your friends.  I’m now preparing his end of year accounts.  Connected Tasnim (who had no connections in the region) with a number of people who have been useful to her over the last 2 years.  You create networking opportunities by running Stafford WiRE – lot’s of networking opportunities created there.  You should win the award because of your large network of connections and how you manage to bring them together for the benefit of all.” Paul Woodcock, PJW Accounting, January 2016

I first met Tracey in 2012 and she was a complete networking novice, and extremely nervous at the thought of networking.  Fast forward four years and Tracey is Networking Personified!  She is an active member of BforB Lichfield, being one of the Executive Team (Host), and also runs a very successful women’s networking group on a voluntary basis for WiRE – at times a thankless and time-consuming endeavour but one which Tracey grabs with both hands to ensure that every monthly meeting is successful and beneficial for the attendees.  Tracey can also be relied upon to “sub” for you, regardless of the whereabouts of the networking meeting, or the ungodly start time!  She is a natural “people connector”, consistently recommending fellow networkers to each other, and helping groups grow by inviting guests to attend.  Tracey works incredibly hard at her networking and I believe 100% that she is a thoroughly worthy winner of the Networker Of The Year Award!”  Cheryl Turner of Tao Business Solutions, January 2016

“Love Tracey and her treatmentsI’ve been seeing Tracey for twelve months, on average, having a treatment every couple of months. After an initial consultation, Tracey still takes the time to review how you’re feeling and adapts her techniques and oils each treatment to best fulfil your needs – be it tension, stress, severe back problems or the need for simple relaxation.  Tracey differs from other therapists, and most high profile spas, because she cares about her clients, has huge experience in complementary therapies and a vast knowledge of essential oils and natural therapeutic techniques.  You won’t go anywhere else after visiting Plum Essence. Thank you Tracey X” Anna Woolliscroft, Decemberr 2015

Fab evening Tracey lots of fun and really informative. Looking forward to putting it to good use!!!” Claire G, November 2015

Thanks Tracey for a fun and very informative evening on how to use our aromatherapy oils safely. Fascinating and so interesting. Who would have thought that smells could evoke such emotion ?  I think it’s safe to say that we have just scratched the surface with these products but feel much more confident about using them and recommending them.  Great training Tracey. Thanks so much for your informative and fun night. We learned loads !! X” Ruth Law, November 2015

I highly recommend Tracey Nixon’s knowledge on essential oils. I know a lot of forever living consultants so if you have a team that need knowledge on the products you are selling be sure to send Tracey a message for information on her workshops” Katy T, November 2015

“Thank you so much for helping (my boyfriend) today you really supported him in providing advice and comfort with his hips and back. Really appreciated!”  Chloe S, October 2015

“Can I please just say how awesome Tracey is.  She is pretty cool! You have really helped with my inconsiderate misbehaving disc, my naughty sciatica and my silly fibromyalgia! You are so good you can even help tragically wonky  people like me feel much better!” JD, October 2015

“Thank you for the session on aromatherapy you did at a workshop I took part in the weekend before last.  You were on-point, enthusiastic, passionate and, of course, highly knowledgeable. I took so much away from it. Forever grateful!” Rona M, Forever Living Business Owner, October 2015

“Dear Tracey. Thank you so much for your work today.  We really appreciate your thoughtfulness & sharing approach when working with our team. Just delighted with what we have learnt .  We so loved having you as a guest speaker Tracey. The depth of your knowledge and ideas was spellbinding. Feedback from the team has been so positive. We will highly recommend you and your courses. Thank you so much” Alison Taylor, Forever Living Business Owner, October 2015

“Good news – I passed!! I was a little disappointed with the result but it wasn’t unexpected as I completely messed up a question.  I’ve registered interest for the (next) course in January and rumour has it that there is a good chance that you could be the tutor?  Well I’m hoping that is the case anyway!  Thanks again for all of your help – my result would have been a lot lower than 76% without it!!” Neale D, MBNA employee, September 2015

Thanks for all your help with the course. Reflecting, it was an enjoyable experience (just not at the time of the exam) however you were a very good tutor!” Adam L, MBNA employee, September 2015

Thank you so much for all you did on Friday – it was an absolutely fantastic day!” Sarah C, Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, August 2015

“Initially, I was drawn to PlumEssence because I was specifically looking for a bamboo massage; I also like the way the therapeutic benefits were emphasised on the website.  The treatment sessions have given me the time to be myself and to spend time (and invest money) on a touch of luxury and therapy that is just for me.  Like many people I have found myself very drained at the expense of catering/adapting/meeting other people’s needs and treatments have given me respite from this.  Respite has been essential to allow what I really want to do/how I really want to live etc to begin to surface.  Touch is a very powerful tool and the essential oils have always accelerated this process, being well-chosen and just what I needed at the time.  My biggest benefit in the sessions is that they are always positive, supportive and the sense that someone is in my corner.  I receive reassurance from someone that I believe in that I already have the resources I need to move forward my life positively.  I receive strong role modelling.  I value the peace, deep relaxation and expert massage/aromatherapy from my sessions.  Without a doubt, Tracey is the best massage therapist I have ever visited.  She has the ability to locate deep seated knots and tension and the persistence to break these down expertly within treatments over time.  Tracey is guided by the consultation that precedes each treatment and is able to tailor techniques to focus on what I need most at the time – blissfully relaxing and therapeutic.   I would certainly recommend PlumEssence.  I would tell people that treatments are deeply relaxing, tailored very much to individual needs, restorative and therapeutic – that they will get much more than ‘just a massage’, stress and tension will be reduced and they will be rejuvenated.  Thank you Tracey.  ER, July 2015

“Thanks for treatment and advice.  Really helpful.  Feeling much better” Martin H, July 2015

“I chose Tracey for her location, knowledge, qualifications, her technical ability and personality. The biggest benefits have been helping with aches and pains and I value the pain relief and relaxation during sessions.  Tracey is different and unique because I like that I can combine various treatments.  I would definitely recommend Tracey.  She is an experienced therapist, approachable, down to earth with excellent treatments.  Hayley Johnson, July 2015

Highly recommend! If your a therapist look it to expand on your knowledge I can’t recommend her enough! Amazing training with full support!” Sophie Marks, July 2015

“Tracey was a lovely teacher. I found her very approachable.”  NPower employee, July 2015

“Tracey is very supportive and realistic- it became clear early on that her advice (do the homework/read the chapters) was spot on. It does take a lot of work and she makes sure you know that. Her method of teaching meant that it really did all come together at the end.”  MBNA employee, July 2015

“Tracey was great and I would have no problems recommending her to others”  MBNA employee, July 2015

“Tracey is an excellent, highly qualified therapist, she is encouraging and incredibly knowledgable whilst being down to earth and fun at the same time. I’ve had many treatments by various therapists and Tracey has kept me coming back on a regular and increasingly long term basis.   I had a very stressful job which caused great physicial and emotional fatigue, Tracey kept me going, helping to reduce pain/discomfort significantly. The combined therapies style in which Tracey works is fantastic, each treatment is tailored to requirements, with Tracey adapting dependant on her findings, she continually assesses and changes her approach if required.   This review is long overdue and I cannot praise Tracey highly enough, thank you for all that you’ve done and continue to do” Hayley Johnson, July 2015

“Thank you for a wonderful bamboo massage yesterday. I am a new person this morning”.  Karen P, June 2015

“Hi Tracey, BRILLIANT – thank you so much not just for all the great work you do as a WiRE network Leader but most especially supporting women in business, it is so important and you deserve a massive pat on the back!” Fiona Davies, WiRE, June 2015

“I’ve known Tracey through a professional referral marketing organisation for a couple of years now and her positivity and knowledge of complementary therapy is endless. More recently, Tracey has treated both my mum and myself with complementary therapies. I have suffered with back problems over the past 12 months and Tracey’s expert natural therapies have been invaluable in helping me to relax and recover from muscle strain but also in lifting my spirits. I am a huge advocate of therapy and looking after yourself due to a previous occupation and Tracey is one of the best in the field. Highly recommended.” Anna W, March 2015

“I found our mentoring period extremely helpful both for my ‘sticky’ bits and generally as we worked through the Forecast and Budgets information.  I’m sure this is all going to be immensely useful for me going forward, both personally and for client work.  Looking forward to the next one already” Jayne S, March 2015

I have gone from being a person with no self belief to a person who feels like she can achieve anything!   Thank you so much Tracey and I’m looking forward to catching up with you soon xxx”  Gaynor W, March 2015

“Fantastic treatment last week. Your treatment plan is really working.  I’ve never felt better!” Jonathan A, February 2015

“Wonderfully relaxing back, neck and shoulder massage from Tracey. She located and worked on several tension knots, using a combination of traditional massage coupled with bamboo for deep tissue work. I cannot recommend Tracey highly enough.” Cheryl T, February 2015

“Passionate, caring and very helpful, a few words that describe Tracey and her approach.    I managed to damage the ligaments in my right arm lifting a bike, making it impossible to lift a mug of tea! I consulted Tracey and explained what I had done and how I had managed to do this. Tracey expertly examined the damage and proposed a treatment plan that got my movement and strength back to normal.    I was impressed by Tracey’s skills and knowledge, skills she has learnt and puts to great practice. I would happily recommend Tracey to anyone with any aches, pains or muscle / ligament damage, a friendly approach and perfect treatment.    Thanks Tracey!” Osmond M, February 2015

“Tracey’s holistic approach helping her clients is to be admired. Her passion for wholesome, ethical approaches is very refreshing. Personally I have liked her bespoke ideas for gift pack/treatments for my wife and sister. Most recently I am impressed with her knowledge on healthy cleaning products.” Karl L, Feb 2015

Feeling amazing today, horrible blocked feeling and headache gone. Back very almost pain free after just one visit  very pleased” Hayley J, February 2015

“What a good meeting it was, absolutely crackling with energy and interest in what you had to tell us.  I think you perfectly judged what really engages the ladies with issues of health and costs close to their hearts.  When a speaker has a deep knowledge of her subject and believes passionately in what she is delivering, shines through as it did with you, and caught us all up in the sense of what you were saying.  So thank you for preparing so thoroughly and speaking so eloquently ( and for sending the handout).” Penny E, October 2014

I really enjoyed the meeting too today and it was well worth driving across the county to get there after my morning class. Tracey’s talk was great and has made me want to try out some of her ideas. Lemons and bi-carb at the ready!” Catherine D, October 2014

“I had a treatment from Tracey Nixon from Plum Essence Therapies – this is the best way to feel good on a Friday!!! Thank you Tracey, very recommended!” OM, March 2014 lee quinn testimonial feb 2014

“Location and personality, initially, were the key factors that made me choose to call you.  Working with someone to help me recover from the effects of a recent illness (Hepatitis E) has been the biggest benefit of my treatment sessions: easing the muscle and joint pains; clearing the ‘head fog’; releasing the tension caused by worry/anxiety as a consequence of the illness and the pressure for me to quickly return to work.  Working with you has been an excellent experience.  Being able to work with someone I trust has really helped (and with someone who knows what it’s like to have suffered a career-interrupting acute illness and then faced a relatively long road to recovery.  A road to recovery that so many people seem to think happens overnight).  It’s been great to see/feel the difference in my body and mind over the past few weeks/months.  I really value the flexibility of appointments, locality and targeted sessions as I get stronger.  And I still cannot believe the difference you made to my head/facial pain when I ended up on antibiotics for sinusitis over Christmas!  I have never really used aromatherapy oils before.  I was also slightly apprehensive, possibly even a little sceptical about this method at the outset.  However, I am now a real believer in it.  I think things are working well at the moment and I’m really aware of gradual improvements in my health, strength, energy levels and outlook. I would say that if anyone has not used aromatherapy oils before, then they should try working with some.  Thank you!  I really appreciate what you’ve done to help me”  “A traumatic viral illness left me unable to work for 4 months.  With the demands of two young children and a full-time career, I needed someone who could help restore me to full mobility, full strength and full health.  Tracey, I cannot thank you enough for getting me back on track and for keeping me there.  Highly recommended!”  Lee Quinn, February 2014 Meg Blakeman testimonial Feb 2014“Relaxation are the biggest benefit of my treatment sessions and my experience has been a sence of self.  I most value the quietness, healing, time to myself and the holistic approach you use in my sessions and treatment plan.  You are unique because every session begins with you asking how I’ve been and you taking notes, and choosing oils suitably.  Tracey has helped my body cope with crisis.  She is a true healer and has worked wonders with me.  A huge thank you.  Tracey works thoroughly on my history, presenting problem areas and preferences in a holistic and very healing way.  She had a massive impact upon my confidence through her healing”  Meg Blakeman, Feb 2014 GM testimonial Feb 2014

“I chose you as opposed to another therapist because of your knowledge, you were recommended and for your personality.  The biggest benefit of the treatment sessions is the ease my body feels afterward.  I receive comfort in you identifying areas to work on and I value your knowledge and understanding of what to do and how.  You are unique because of the mix of aroma oils and bamboo sticks.  I enjoy how relaxed I feel after my session.  The sessions are very professionally led and focus on your individual needs for that session.  I leave feeling like I could float on air”  GM, February 2014

“Fantastic session which did get rid of pain in back” JB, February 2014 Neil S testimonial Feb2014

“My biggest benefit of treatment sessions have been the removal of pain in neck and shoulders. I am very pleased with my experiences and value the soothing atmosphere, technique and Tracey’s knowledge.  I would recommend Tracey because she is very professional and knowledgeable. I have been impressed with Tracey from the offset with her great technique and knowledge.  I look forward to our sessions and always wish they could last longer”  Neil S, February 2014

“Well, I was one of the 1st timers, having the ear candling treatment inc the fabulous sinus massage! Thank you so much Tracey, you have great talent in what you do and it’s a gift to everyone you treat! Xx”  EP, February 2014

“I felt brilliant.  Much needed and great treatment. Thanks for the treatment the other day. It made a big impact and I felt much, much better.   Drank lots and genuinely saw a difference.   Made a big difference.  This could become regular.  At long last!  What have I been missing???”  JP, February 2014 “Lovely and therapeutic (in more ways than one) afternoon with you yesterday. Feeling fab.” JP, February 2014

“I chose Tracey, as opposed to another therapist because of her qualifications. The biggest benefits of the treatment sessions have been achieving total relaxation of body and mind.  I value the time out for me.  Tracey is unique because she does not just go through the motions, she seems to be interested!  Tracey’s aromatherapy massage helped me recover naturally from dual achilles tendonapthy and I have enjoyed a monthly treatment ever since for some 2 years” Kevin S, February 2014 JL testimonial Feb2014

“My sister arranged for me to see you and this was because you work with men as well as women and also you were near to where I live and do weekend appointments.  When I leave after having had a massage I feel like I want to feel all of the time, relaxed, happy and at ease.  It is also something that I really look forward to.  I was very apprehensive before my first visit and it has taken quite a few massages before I have not found it strange with someone I didn’t know touching me.  You always put me at ease and don’t make me feel rushed.  I enjoy choosing new oils as well and feel that you are happy for me to that even though I often end up with the same ones!  I also like it that I don’t have to talk during the massage as I would find that would ruin the deep relaxation I feel.  I also like the little personal touches such as the Christmas present of CD’s and gift voucher on my birthday.  It was quite unexpected and I can’t imagine many others doing that.  I would recommend you and would say that they should definitely give it a go even if they feel slightly uncomfortable at first  – that feeling of a ‘stranger’ touching you disappears and it will leave them totally relaxed and give them a sense of well being.  I felt frazzled and tense before my appointment but as soon as I stepped through the door it all began to melt away” JL, February 2014

“I chose you because I knew the quality of the treatment you offered.  The biggest benefit of my treatment sessions have been pain & stress relief – keeps me functioning.  I do not feel rushed and you give consideration of what oils I need and like.  I most value the excellent treatment and the ‘me’ time.  You are unique because you take the time to understand what I need.  I would definitely recommend you.” Catherine H testimonial Feb2014“Tracey delivers ‘individualised’ treatments based on getting to know her clients.  Other therapists have a ‘one size fits all’ approach, definitely not the case with Tracey. Thank you Tracey for keeping me going!!” Catherine H, February 2014

“The biggest benefit of my treatment sessions has been much less pain. I felt a lovely bond with you.  I look forward to my treatments and feeling relaxed.  I would recommend you as my treatments are successful”  Jill C, February 2014 Karin testimonial Jan2014

“The biggest benefit of my treatments are ease of stress and tension.  I value the opportunity to discuss treatments beforehand.  You are unique because you are friendly and I also feel that you know what you are talking about!  I always look forward to my visits to PlumEssence .  Tracey makes me feel relaxed and ‘at home’.  I have confidence in Tracey’s knowledge and skills which enhances the experience”.  Karin P, January 2014

“I decided to work with you because I hadn’t found another therapist that made a lasting impression.  I had been following what you’d been doing.  The biggest benefit of my treatment sessions has been the ease of pain and noticing a big difference.  I cannot fault our experience of working together.  I value the whole package.  My sessions are different and unique compared to other therapists because I don’t know another therapist that would dedicate so much time to understand my needs.  I would whole-heartedly recommend you.  You’re the best I know and I’ve been treated by various others in the past.  I trust you and what you do is the best for me.  You have played a part in helping my symptoms of fybromyalgia and joint hypomobility improve.  After loosing trust in other professions I have found someone and now I’m grateful to be treated by.  Claire Perkin, January 2014

“I decided to chose you over another therapist because of your service, knowledge and personality.  The biggest benefit of our sessions is that i feel relaxed and safe.  My experience has been a lovely journey with you.  You have been kind towards me and have always looked after men when doing my treatments.  Your treatments are just what I need, thank you!  I recommend you because I explain how you treat me before my treatment and I always tell them you are a very good and kind lady!  You have always got time for your clients!”  HB, January 2014

“Tracey sorted my sore neck!  I regularly refer Tracey to friends & colleagues for her excellent services” LU, January 2014

“Hi Tracey, I just wanted to say thank you for the gift voucher and the CDs.  I have already been listening to the first CD and it has one of my favourite tracks on it.  When my sister got me the gift voucher over a year ago I never thought I would go through with having a massage and I certainly didn’t think I’d carry on with it.  I was worrying at the start how I would say that I wasn’t going to come again!  Now I couldn’t imagine not having a massage every few weeks.  See you on Saturday” JL, January 2014
