Welcome

‘Quiessence’ is a play on the word ‘quiescence’ - to be peaceful & at rest. This is what I aim for all my clients to feel by having a treatment with me.

My name is Cath & I decided to study and practice complementary therapies after having benefited from them myself over many years. I believe that massage - the human touch, the physical manipulation of muscle, and then the oils on top of all this, is a wonderful experience that will enhance almost everyone's wellbeing, and that it should be a regular part of our lives.

I now practice most days of the week & weekend, mainly within clients' homes in & around Bristol.

I qualified from the Bristol School of Holistic Therapies in 2005, and after an extensive 2-year course of academic study & hands-on practice. I then studied under the Institute of Indian Head Massage. My qualifications include:

•  Diploma in Aromatherapy
•  Certificate in Anatomy & Physiology
•  Certificate in Body Massage
•  Certificate in Traditional Indian Head Massage

I have continued my training since, gaining qualifications in Reiki (1), Deep Tissue Massage (Bristol School of Massage), Hopi Ear Candling, Ear Acupressure and most recently Hot Stone Massage.

I am a member of the Independent Professional Therapists International (IPTI) association & am fully insured.
