Ok - so I've given this tip-top everything. That's because it was...
I liked the decor and vibe on the way in - all very lovely, and obviously pretty new, nice quality stuff (i loved the coffee table?!), but really just massively relaxed at the same time. Then I liked how nice the staff were - friendly but just there, not remotely in your face.
And most of all, I liked my massage. The lady who did it was from portugal, and she explained all about lymphatic drainage to me (I'd never tried it before, and I'm incredibly curious), but also why it interested her, and why she liked working for a place like this rather than for the sort of 'beauty' establishment which pushes minor cosmetic surgery at clients and is all about the sales. we ended up talking about portuguese food, drink and culture, and i came home with recommendations of fado tracks to you-tube. that may not be everyone's cup of tea, but i was as happy as could be - in the capable, expert hands of my marvellous masseuse, who i think would inspire anyone with confidence - and gratitude.
thank you for looking after me so well!
I thought this place was great. Friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, lovely tea! The lunchtime yoga class was short and snappy providing a chance to both flex and relax. My lymphatic drainage was interesting and the practitioner was knowledgable and friendly.
I've never, ever written a review on a site like this before but I want to tell the world about my experience at Embody. I was recommended Embody by a friend and I thought I'd try out micro dermabrasion.
I was slightly apprehensive beforehand, but I really, really didn't need to be. My therapist was absolutely amazing. She was so knowledgeable, friendly, skilled and above all sweet.
Her knowledge of skincare and holistic therapies was outstanding - she told me so much that I'd not known before about how my skin works, how products work on my skin and how to look after my skin. She also debunked lots of myths about expensive skincare products and recommended an affordable range that she thought was best (without trying to sell it to me - I later bought online). I have never felt in better hands.
She spent more than her allotted time on my appointment - giving me a foot massage while my mask was doing its stuff on my face and massaging my neck and shoulders with delicious smelling natural products. I have already booked and enjoyed another session with her and I don't imagine that will be my last time!
I had a bespoke massage and facial with Ricardina and came away feeling like a million dollars. The centre is very bright, modern and fresh and all the staff are extremely welcoming, helpful and knowledgable.
It was my first visit to Embody Wellness at St Georges Wharf, Vauxhall. The therapy room was very inviting, fresh and neutral allowing my mind to relax away with the massage. Rici the massage therapist definately gave a bespoke massage tailoring the massage to my specific needs as my left side of my body was extremely tense and full of tension and payed extra attention to this. I chatted to Rici and found her experience and understanding of the body very beneficial to my treatment. I would happily reccommend Embody Wellness to friends and family! I feel so pampered and so much better than this morning. Candice x
