TESTIMONIALS

 

Below are some words from my clients, from reviews on my Google page <3

 

“One week after my session with Indy, my body is still thanking me. Indy helped unblock tension and encouraged a deep sense of ease and release throughout my body. As someone whose work requires a strong awareness of the body, I was blown away by how astute and attuned Indy was to what I needed, perhaps even more so than I was myself. This session was a gift from a friend, but it’s one I’ll absolutely pass on to others, and gift to myself again. I honestly can’t recommend Indy enough!!”


“Really wonderful experience. I came to Indy after procrastinating too long to get a massage. My back was achey and I held a lot of tension in my body. I’m disabled and chronically ill so sometimes it feels as though ache is just part of me. Indy created a comfortable and open space to talk, be open with how I feel emotionally and physically and say what I thought I needed. Indy works with such care and physical pressure that I was just able to release - think everything and nothing. My back made noises I didn’t think possible and felt eased. It’s obvious to me why they get booked up so far ahead - I’ve certainly told everyone I know about Indy and I’ll definitely be back myself to spend more time on my back. Indy obviously holds so much energy from people and for people and I really felt that. I felt really honoured to experience the energy emotionally as well as physically. I’ll be coming back for sure <3”


“I have seen Indy a few times. They really helped to ease the tightness in my muscles, the tension of my chronic pain got a bit less too and was a general help for my nervous system overall. As someone with complex PTSD, it was important for me to find a trauma informed practitioner. I’ve never experienced such in-depth care in a massage before, as I have with Indy. The communication is clear throughout, they genuinely care about what has brought you to them. It feels a collaborative process where you are a whole being, not just flesh on a table. Looking forward to future sessions, thanks so much Indy”


“Being a bodyworker myself I am very picky with bodywork. When I met Indy I instantly felt safe and I knew I could trust them. But the session was way beyond my expectations. It was honestly one of the best massage of my life. The way they were touching me was EXACTLY what I needed. Every touch and movement was an instant response of what my body was asking for. The level of presence and the density of the touch was such that I spent 90min completely immersed in my physical sensations. My mind was completely still and present. It’s so rare for me to meet a practitioner that blows my mind and they did. I can’t wait for the next session”


“If you’re thinking about booking a bodywork session with Indy do it! I’ve had many treatments and massages before, but nothing comes close to what Indy offers. From the moment you arrive, they create a space that feels safe, welcoming, and completely centered on you. Indy asks all the right questions to understand exactly what you need. The session itself was incredible. Indy began by working on my back, and it felt so good that I melted into deep relaxation instantly. Then with their encouragement, I was able to release and let go in a way I’ve never experienced with anyone else. It was truly transformative. Indy is not only unbelievably skilled but also deeply caring and present. I felt connected with them throughout the entire experience, it was powerful, healing, and truly special. Indy has a rare gift, and I can’t thank them enough!”


“I could not have had a better first session with Indy. Their space is an incredibly calming environment. When I arrived I mentioned I was feeling overstimulated from my journey, and they immediately offered a whole range of sensory items for me to hold, and took active steps to make sure the space was what I needed it to be to relax. The treatment itself felt so in tune with what my body needed, and I left feeling lighter. Every element of their practice feels defined above all by a total lack of judgement, and an abundance of compassion. I am very glad that places and people like this exist”


“I had a brilliant experience going to Indy for the first time. They have immaculate vibes, I felt very safe in their hands and noticed immediate improvements in mobility after my treatment. I will definitely be returning, thanks so much!”


“I saw Indy for an initial session working on my chronic pelvic pain and came away feeling so much physical and emotional relief. They gave me so much space, quiet compassion, and expert attention – I felt really held and supported to be vulnerable and let myself relax, and definitely feeling some greater mobility and energy this week. Also really appreciated the sliding scale/pay it forward options. Indy's a gem and a real community carer”


“I've been going to Indy for a few months now and I couldn't recommend them enough! Every time I went, I left feeling extremely relaxed and relieved. My chronic pain has been much more manageable and I've noticed a lot of change and improvement within. Indy has always been very attentive and kind, they made me feel seen, heard and cared for in a deep level. I also really value the sliding scale options, leading on sensibility and consent and holding a safer space for marginalised folks, this is invaluable and hard to find. Thanks Indy for such important work!”


“Thank you for another amazing treatment this week. I had a number of massage sessions with Indy and each of them left me feeling content and full. Years of experience are so evident, and each session feels new and adapted to what I need. I felt welcomed and held, in a way that I think would be so needed if I would be arriving at the first time. I appreciate sliding scale and pay it forward options to make bodywork more accessible to all”


“I really liked meeting Indy. Important for me to be supported by a healer who is not only knowledgeable and trauma informed but also who is politically conscious which they are! The work they did on me was incredible and so respectful. I live with chronic pain and am a survivor of various types of extreme violence and as difficult it was for me afterwards it allowed me the time to let emotions that I hold tightly to be released. And I know this was a gift given to me by Indy. I highly recommend Indy River Bodywork!!!!!! I will return over and over and over! Thank you Indy!”


“Meeting Indy was a godsend! I cannot recommend them enough! I struggle with chronic pain and sciatica inflammation, as well as having a lot of trauma locked in my body, which makes it difficult for me to be comfortable with touch therapy and manipulation. I'm also a worryingly active person so my muscles are always squeezed. Their expertise and approach was gentle, kind, and attentive. The myofascial massage not only released a lot of pain and eased inflammation immediately, it also sped up the post training recovery! And their homely setting makes the sessions completely relaxing and stress free”
