Hello, I'm Mathu!
For the past seven years, I've been living at Coed, tending to the garden and managing the events calendar. In addition to my work here, I'm also a massage therapist, offering my services both within the community and to the retreat groups that visit.
With seven years of professional experience, I provide intuitive touch and deep tissue massage. Using my strong hands, honed by years of gardening, I can help release tension in both your body and mind. I work with organic oils, infused with flowers and herbs grown right in my garden, to help you relax, heal, and rejuvenate.
I have a dedicated therapy space at Coed, but I’m also happy to bring my massage table to your home if that’s more convenient for you.
Fees are £25 for 30 minutes or £45 an hour. Feel free to call me with any questions or to book an appointment: 07803180021.
