I feel very fortunate to have happened upon David's website and as a result, to have made a first and then second booking with him. His previous testimonials all attest to his kindness, consideration and considerable professional skills and I can only agree with each and every one of them. He's swift to respond to messages, explains his particular methods of treatment carefully, to make sure they suit a client's needs and expectations, and gives clear, easy to follow directions as to how to locate him. And in person, he has a very calm but friendly and positive presence, immediately putting you at ease. His massage room is beautifully presented and, crucially on a cold day, warm too, further enabling the relaxation process. And then there's the massage itself...
David is clearly very well-versed in a wide range of techniques and is intuitive in how best to employ them, while at each stage checking with you that you're comfortable with what he's doing. And he's generous with his time and energy too, making sure that the focus remains on you, so that you have the very best experience. I'd say he has a big heart too. Spending time with him is an uplifting experience. You leave not only having had a great massage, but also feeling that you've been in the presence of one of life's good guys.

I had a massage with David recently. I was a little apprehensive at first but he soon put me at ease with his calming and friendly personality. His therapy room is set out so professionally with soft music playing and the lighting low. Now for the massage.... David started my massage and from the beginning and throughout it my expectations were surpassed greatly. He has such a talent of touch and technique that i have never experienced before. It felt like all my anxiety and worries were leaving me. I had the sense that he was reading my body and massaging me with such care that he released feelings in me I have not experienced before. It was a totally mind blowing experience thank you again, David you have a true gift. Can't wait for the next time.

Wow, what a great service. David puts you at ease and then gives one hell of a great massage. As a result of arthritis I have tightness in my back and shoulders, using a variety of massage techniques David has after only two session improved mobility and reduced pain. But there is much more to Davids' service taking a fully holistic approach he ensures that you relax, enjoy the session and get as much from it as you want. An excellent service, from a top bloke.

I have been using complimentary therapists for well over 15 years trying different combinations and practitioners. I can honestly say and without hesitation that David delivers the best massage I have ever had in my life. Davids' attention to detail in the preparation of the room from the lighting, heating, music and use of things like an ionising diffuser is superb! From the moment you come into the room you enter a clean, safe, relaxing, stress free and therapeutic environment. The massage itself is a journey away from everyday stress, aches and pains to a state of calm and peacefulness on so many levels. I felt totally pampered and wonderfully relaxed both in mind, body and soul. Even 3 days after the massage I still feel calm and relaxed something which has never happened to me before after a massage.
John. (Bridlington).
I cannot speak too highly about the quality of the two massages I have had with David. He is kind, considerate and has a magical touch. It's a time to 'let go' of all one's day to day worries and to let David take over for an hour, maybe two. If you have never had a massage before and you need to recharge your energy, then book an appointment with David who will make you feel renewed and able to face the world with renewed vigour.

I was looking for a masseur whose prime concern is the client! Over the years I’ve had massage and some have been ok but most have been disappointing and poor, usually because I’ve felt the technique and service were pretty mechanical and that they were just going through the motions of their treatment, rather than understanding the client.
The full body combination massage treatment I had from David recently... was without question the best massage I have ever had, not only did David make me feel welcome, relaxed and totally at ease, his thorough explanation of the treatment and his understanding of what I was looking for in a massage, from the holistic aspect through to the massage techniques was the most personally created treatment I have ever experienced.... the 2 hours were the most special, relaxing, uplifting and personal one 2 one massage I have ever had the pleasure to receive!
From the beautiful room and use of hot oils, warm towels and heat pads to the heated couch enhanced the whole experience was very calming for both the mind and body, it was a very personal, spiritual and soulful experience for me... and the following days the effect of this never went away... Due to having a very hectic and stressful job, the usual daily aches pains and stresses through my back shoulder and upper body have eased beyond any of my expectations, I have slept better and feel renewed and rejuvenated in my wellbeing.
David’s commitment to his clients and his passion for what he does are second to none, He is a true professional, he is considerate and truly respectful throughout and the most kind and caring man.... who possess a very special gift of massage. I will be returning on a regular basis.
Joe. (South Yorkshire).
I visited David while on holiday to the UK. What a very professional and intuitive person David is. He answered all my questions I might have asked before I had the massage. The massage area was one of the most relaxing and soothing areas that I have experienced. That evening I slept from 9.30 pm to 7.00 am straight. Very unusual for me sleeping in hotel rooms, of course not unusual considering the amazing massage I had received from David. As far as massage goes, I can rate this as the best I have ever had. I can definitely recommend David.
Tony. (Florida , USA).
I visited David a few weeks ago on a cold January evening. An important factor is the consulting room is warm and spotlessly clean. As a sufferer of a managed back pain condition of several years, I have seen various practitioners over the years - chiropractors, osteopaths, reflexologists. Since 2011, I have had regular physio sessions with a nationally recognised sports coach. So, David had a lot to match up to and did so brilliantly. David's skill is a unique combination of the firmness and strength of sports physio with the more gentle, holistic approach to massage and pamper resulting 'inner calm' through stress management techniques.
So, in many ways it is 2 treatments for one, If you have a physical pain or condition which needs attention or if you are just happy to go with the flow for a different kind of therapy which clears the mind and removes the stress and strain of everyday life then go and see David! He has a very respectful, professional and thorough approach. He will put you at ease and if you have any specific health or well being needs, he will help you. To anyone considering this kind of therapy for the first time, I would highly recommend it as a place to go, unwind and be pampered for a couple of hours.
Pete. (South London).
I would recommend a visit to David. I was looking for a qualified masseur who would, I hoped, be able to bring a holistic approach and help alleviate the problems I was experiencing in my hips and shoulders. I found just the person in David. His welcome was as warm as the heated pads he uses. He was reassuring and professional, explaining the various techniques he would use. This helped me to relax and know I was in good hands. I have had two sessions with David and since the first, I have had no problems with my hips and the issues in the shoulders has eased significantly and I feel that the problem will go with further sessions. David also helps you to relax in mind and body and you leave refreshed and rejuvenated, a visit is a must!
Graham. (North Yorkshire).
I booked David for a home massage having never used him before. I have had a number of massages in the past. I have to say this was one of the best if not the best. He arrived promptly and had a very calming and reassuring manner . He was very attentive to what I was requiring and did a thorough assessment . The massage was great and well exceeded the planned 90 minutes. He clearly is interested in giving you the optimum holistic therapeutic treatment and not clock watching for his next appointment. I can not recommend him highly enough I certainly will be booking again very soon. Many thanks.
Ian. (Leeds).
I have visited David several times now. From the first moment I met him I was struck by his caring and professional attitude. He was genuinely interested in how he could help me through massage. If you want to feel special and have an experience tailored to your needs then look no further than David.
S. (South Yorkshire)
I was apprehensive about meeting a new masseur after a previously poor experience but was stunned by the professionalism afforded by David. His initial questioning allowed me to disclose allergy information and key areas for him to focus on. The massage was professional and superbly conducted. I have recommended friends and can't wait for my next appointment.
B. (Bradford).
A genuinely great guy: thorough, professional, considerate. Totally focussed. The benefits of having a massage with David can be felt days and days after - he's in a different league from some of the clock-watching competition. David rightly deserves to be in demand. Book him, if you can!
N. (Southport).
A massage from David will truly leave you relaxed and de-stressed.
Gentle, soothing music in a warm, welcoming environment, add to this the aroma of the warm oils, and the experienced hands of David, will give you, without doubt the best massage experience you will ever have.
K. (Harrogate).
I have had a massage from David. It was the most professional massage I have ever had. He made the whole experience one that I will not forget in a long time. Two days after having the massage I am still feeling relaxed and stress free I have to say. Anyone wanting a massage to remember then I suggest you take time out of your life and have the David experience . I just hope I can make this a monthly treat for me, lets hope he can fit me in.
Paul. (South Yorkshire).
I have been visiting David for a number of months now. He is aways friendly and polite and makes you feel fully at ease. His service is relaxed and non rushed and you always leave feeling chilled and de-stressed.
Jason. (Wakefield)
David offers a unique holistic experience incorporating different massage techniques tailored to need, in a warm and friendly environment. Not only was an aged-old back problem addressed, but he also made me feel pampered. It was a wonderful unhurried and relaxing experience, which I am keen to repeat as soon as possible.
Jonathon. (Holmfirth).
We have used David for “at home” massage treatments, and we cannot rate him highly enough. We were relaxed immediately on meeting him, and his professional efficient approach ensured that we gained the most benefit from the treatments he offered. David supplied everything needed for an amazing experience, from his own tranquil music to the heated oil dispenser and clean fluffy towels. We would have no hesitation in recommending him and his treatments and we are very much looking forward to seeing him again soon.
G. & A. (Harrogate).
I have just had a massage from David. It was more of an experience than a massage. He was incredibly professional. He set out his massage bench and towels and oils like a spa. The massage was tailored to your aches and preferences. It was unhurried bliss. I felt great during and after. David was generous with his time and thoughtful and skilled at massage. I wholeheartedly recommend him.
Martin. (Doncaster).
Thankyou for today , absolutely amazing!
Nic. (Selby).
A great massage from a great bloke. It was personalised, professional, targeted all my aches and pains, and left me totally refreshed. I felt utterly pampered and slept incredibly well afterwards! A real treat - and fantastic value. I will definitely be back for more'.
D. (Huddersfield).
I had a massage with David on the 3rd of June. From the minute we met I knew it was going to be good. Nice hot towels, hot oil and nice firm hands, it was brilliant, will be back.
Ken. (Blackpool).
David is a first class masseur, who immediately put me at ease, with his friendly and open approach. The treatment room was so relaxing with heated table and towels. David's technique, ensured my whole body was reinvigorated at the end of the massage and following his excellent relaxation methods I felt a new man. I totally recommend David if you are looking for a dedicated and talented masseur.
David. (Cheltenham).
A completely brilliant massage experience in every respect. David took care to put me at ease , find out what I wanted from the massage and then proceeded to supply it in an unhurried, caring, professional way. His massage style is firm and expert and I was very impressed by his skill, knowledge and empathy.
Jim. (Otley).
Really an amazing guy.....very friendly. ...without doubt an incredible masseur .....he really knows professionally how to deep tissue massage. On a personal level such a very honest and genuine bloke...... if you are lucky enough to get the chance to have the experience. ...THEN DO IT....is my advice. ....you will not be dissapointed !!!
Drew. (East Yorkshire).
My first proper massage could not have been better! I was apprehensive and a little nervous before attending the appointment, however, even before we met David's friendly, none judgemental manner started to reassure me and made me feel at ease. Upon arriving I was immediately relaxed in David's company. His apartment and treatment room were spotless and his professionalism was apparent from the start. He took time to explain the process and to check I was comfortable with everything. The massage itself was amazing, lasting over 2 hours in which I received a mixture of sports, Swedish, and aromatherapy massage (these were explained to me at the start). My body felt great during the session and for a few days afterwards. This is not just a two hour treatment - the results stay with you for a number of days! Honestly this is the best £50 I have spent in ages, I will certainly be paying him another visit !
Tom. (Bingley).
I have been visiting David every month for a while now. He offers an amazing massage experience, which is both deeply relaxing and wonderfully restorative. For me it's an indispensable stress buster, which I always look forward to. He is very professional and cares totally about what he does. I can't recommend him highly enough. Don't miss out!
Chris. (Bradford).
I had been looking for a great massage for some time when I noticed David's advertisement. I took the plunge and committed to a 90 minute massage. On arrival I was greeted by a charming gentleman who welcomed me into his beautiful home. David made me feel at ease and explained in detail what I could expect from the treatment. The massage I received was very deep, sensual and invigorating. David has created a beautiful ambience in his treatment room. I would be very happy to recommend David's massage service to my friends. I will soon be booking my next massage.
James. (Lancashire).
"Simply the best massage I have ever had. Skilful, sensitive and holistic, in a relaxing setting. Highly recommended".
Steve. (Shipley).
Having a serious back problem it's hard to find a masseur who understands the problems of the lower spine. But after talking to David he fully understood and I have to say I felt great afterwards. His attitude is totally professional and I would recommend him to anyone.
