“In short, whether you are looking for help with musculoskeletal aches, or you are looking to get stronger, fitter, restore your mobility or to look after your body after a battering, I simply cannot recommend Claire enough.
Here's my experience with her and I think that will explain my strong feelings on her ability, knowledge and kind mentorship:
I got in touch with her while preparing for major surgery involving several body parts. She helped me prehab and strengthen those muscle groups that I would have to rely on during my recovery. In the process, she also somehow helped me overcome serious chronic neck and shoulder pain- incidentally, something I had tried and failed to address with physiotherapy and exercise plenty of times before. I cannot overstate how much she improved my quality of life in what seems like the smallest intervention, a mere couple of sessions a week.
After the surgery - well I think that's when her skill and knowledge really shone as she stepped in with remote mobility sessions that helped me ten times more than the hospital trained physios that we charged with my care. As I found myself incapable of making my body do some of the simplest movements, Claire just found the right cues and positional tweaks for me to manage. And from there she continued to motivate me and help me navigate the tricky post operative time when you really have no idea how your new body works, let alone how much to push yourself before it becomes counterproductive or injurious.
Since then she has slowly nursed me back to health and strength - 3 months after a 13 hour surgery that had me unable to walk for a month, I was swimming, cycling and jogging, and 5 months after that I was skiing. A year on I am as strong as the next person and continuing to improve thanks to her genius support.”

Reviews and testimonials

"I’ve been going to see Claire for numerous visits now for lower back pain and general stiffness due to cycling and age. Very knowledgeable and thorough, understands and listens. The sessions are beneficial and using added stretches that Claire recommends help alleviate the stiffness and soreness. Totally recommend Claire for any Movement Fix."

"Claire is a true professional. Not only is her knowledge and experience with treatment immediately obvious, her care about your wellbeing and long-term health shines through every appointment. She is the kind of person you can ask your 'silly' pain or health question to and she will thoughtfully get you to the answer. Her methodology is effective and often more helpful than you could have expected."

"I have known Claire for over 5 years and she is an amazing trainer and massage therapist. I was lucky to have been able to see her weekly for personal training when she was based in London. I have also benefited from her massage therapy on my frozen shoulder which was also incredible as she was able to alleviate my discomfort and gave me very useful exercises to practice at home. I miss being able to see her in London as regularly as I used to. She is the best!!"

"Claire has been treating my wife and I for around 4 years (not counting lockdown). She has deep knowledge of various body treatments and is one of the best therapists we have ever come across. I lead a very active lifestyle and practise Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 4 to 5 times a week as well as go regularly to the gym. This creates a lot of tension and a good amount of injury. Claire has helped me numerous times with the recovery process and allowed me to keep up my active lifestyle in my late 40ies. I can highly recommend her."

"Right from the beginning Claire put me at ease and talked me through what would be right for my sore back, neck and shoulders massage-wise. The massage was incredible! I have never experienced a more fascia-based approach to massage and it was so unbelievably relaxing and also very powerful too. I floated home and slept very deeply straight through the night. My stiff left shoulder has significantly improved and my back too. I can highly recommend Claire’s magical hands especially if you are suffering with a tight neck, back and shoulders."

"I was only able to have one session with Claire before she moved away from London but I was surprised that from 1 session she was able to help me with a tingling sensation I was experiencing in my thigh. I thought I would have needed multiple sessions however 1 session with my post treatment care (given to me by Claire) helped me sort out my issue. Something I really appreciate about Claire's work is giving post treatment advice which really helps maintain the effects of the massage. She has been very willing to help me when I have been in contact with her and she is always open in sharing her knowledge with me. A very knowledgeable, thoughtful and kind therapist! Would highly recommend her."

"I've been getting treatment from Claire for some time now, I consider her work an integral part of my health and wellbeing. Her treatment is always thoughtful, she tries to fully understand the mechanisms behind any issue, and she helps me manage some old injuries/surgeries that I've had. I've been fortunate enough to be involved in high levels sport for over 20 years and Claire is by far the best therapist I've seen in that time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her."

"I see Claire regularly because my upper body gets really tight from my desk job and just general tension. It’s like a monthly spa moment: a mix of relaxation and, well… a bit of intensity! :) Claire is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. She genuinely cares and always thinks about helpful solutions and exercises beyond our sessions."

"Getting massaged by Claire regularly has been nothing but incredible for me and my back pain! The tensions in my muscles have no other option than to release when treated by her strong hands. Claire is extremely passionate about her work and I'm always looking forward to our session as it's also a way of making time for myself and my physical health!"

"Claire is an amazing massage therapist. I’ve still yet to replace her since she left London :(. She taught me things about my body that I could even teach to others! Highly recommend. I’m 102kg of muscle and she never once hurt me with her technique but she looked after me. I never write reviews but honestly irreplaceable!"
