Fertility Testimonials

“I’ve really benefitted from my fertility massage treatment for miscarriage. I feel like the treatment has helped process things emotionally and was very cathartic – it felt like my own little ceremony and a chance to accept that I am upset and that’s ok but also to say goodbye. So, thank you very much, I really appreciate it and your warm, kind manner.”

I’ve known Victoria professionally for a number of years and was thrilled to be able to ask her to work with me throughout my adventure in becoming a mother. Initially with fertility massage and later with reflexology I felt very supported both physically and emotionally during this amazing time of transformation. Thank you Victoria, I look forward to seeing you postnatally.

I’ve been seeing Victoria for fertility reflexology for a while now and always find the sessions incredibly soothing and relieving. She is committed and genuinely cares about you. The support is invaluable. Can’t recommend her enough!

I have had several fertility massages with Victoria and they were the most nurturing treatments ever. Victoria works intuitively and from the heart. She makes you feel at ease and held in a safe place where you can really relax and let the healing take place. Since the miscarriage few months ago I was having health problems and I have hugely benefited from these treatments and my energies and overall health have improved. I finally feel whole again! Thank you Victoria so much.

After an initial and thorough consultation I booked a block of treatments to see me through my Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET). Victoria was able to work with my timetable and my treatment schedule to book in what was needed. It was a combination of reflexology, massage, visualisation and more. I was so impressed with her ability to read my needs for that day and design each 90mins treatment in a bespoke way. We even used EFT at one appointment to help deal with some difficult emotions I had been experiencing.

I would thoroughly recommend Victoria if you feel you need to add a truly holistic approach to your treatment when you feel like another number at the clinic. Her knowledge of fertility treatment is vast and as a medical professional myself I was learning new things from her as I went along.

For me this treatment was what was missing in my previous IVF attempts. I feel her support and encouragement to address emotions and support myself through the process enabled me to be ready for the treatment and finally get my first positive pregnancy test!

“Victoria is magical! Her sparkly, sweet, friendly approach is fully backed up by a great depth of knowledge, wonderful expertise, complete professionalism and a ‘no nonsense’ underlay that instills confidence, trust and a complete willingness to do as she tells you. Victoria sincerely wants to help you and adjusts her treatments to suit you as an individual.
Victoria fully relaxed both myself and my husband when we went to her for fertility assistance and I truly believe her work with us was a catalyst to the conception of our second child. A long-awaited second child where the journey had been filled with sad episodes including an ectopic pregnancy where I lost one of my fallopian tubes. Our hopes were low but Victoria lifted us and we now have a wonderful second son. Of course, we wondered why we hadn’t sought out Victoria from the outset but, in line with Victoria’s ethereal manner, we were at peace that the Universe had aligned at the right time including initiating our sessions with Victoria.
Thank you, you are a wonderful, beautiful person and a fabulous practitioner.”

“I had fertility massage with Victoria following my first IVF treatment which left me with a long and irregular cycle. Victoria really put me at ease and the whole experience was just lovely. I think I dozed off a couple of times I was that relaxed! The whole experience felt very cozy – I felt really nurtured and looked after. I’m pleased to say that literally within days my cycle got back in rhythm and has been ever since. That’s three months ago now and it’s still behaving itself. Thanks so much Victoria, hopefully now we can move on to the next step in our fertility journey.”

I have seen Vic for 2 episodes of reflexology, one following a miscarriage and more recently at 39/40 weeks pregnant. Vic is an excellent practitioner and always tailored the sessions to my needs. As well as having excellent hands on skills (I have had reflexology elsewhere which was not comparable) Vic is incredibly intuitive, quietly understanding and addressing emotional aspects through the treatment.
I am convinced my more recent episode of treatment helped tip me into labour naturally, avoiding inducement. I went on to have a very positive birth experience and believe the reflexology and sessions with Vic helped initiate this process. Vic is knowledgeable and was able to recommend additional things for me to try at home.
I wholeheartedly recommend Vic for any women’s health related issue, you can be sure you will be treated holistically and it will be well worth it!
Thank you Vic and please keep doing what you’re doing!

Rosie

I had a wonderful consultation and fertility massage treatment with Victoria. She was keen to fully understand my issues and gave me lots of space to share. The massage was amazing and unusual, using techniques from indigenous tribes (I think!), Victoria explained what was going to happen so I felt safe and held and could easily relax into a blissful space and simply receive. I highly recommend Victoria and her work. I’m looking forward to more treatments and some reflexology soon.

“I came to see Victoria to help conceive my first baby. At my first appointment, she made me feel instantly at ease and allowed me to express my concerns and thoughts without judgement. She treated me with reflexology which made me feel so relaxed and over the course of a month or two, my cycles became more regular. I am now pregnant with my first baby and it’s all thanks to Victoria for her professional advice, treatment and positivity. I would recommend her to anyone!”
Hannah

Victoria is amazingly calm , open, sensitive and welcoming . From the moment we met , I instantly felt at ease in her company. She was extremely empathetic towards my situation (2 miscarriages and going through IVF) and as well as providing excellent reflexology sessions and fertility massage , she gave me really good strategies and visualisations to help me feel calm and positive . I am now pregnant and I feel so greatful for all the help and wisdom Victoria has given me. She is a very special person and I couldn’t recommend her enough ! Thank you!!

Alice

HMy fertility massages with Victoria were out of this world! She works intuitively, releasing, holding and respecting where necessary to allow you let go of baggage to allow physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Great for women’s health whether or not you are trying to conceive, I just wish she lived closer!

Antenatal and Postnatal Testimonials

“I really liked your tailored approach.  I found that the ball work was great and energising. The work on my shoulder blades really helped my back and your recommendation of the ball when I am working has made me less stiff. The tummy massage reminded me that I am actually pregnant. The massages were great, the right firmness and you really feel that you are being looked after”.
Gen

“I had a very complicated and emotional pregnancy and the care and compassion that was given to me helped me through a very difficult time. Victoria enabled me to connect with my baby and I found her energetic work deeply relaxing and calming. She was amazing.”
Charlotte

“I received regular massage treatments throughout my pregnancy which I found really helped my back which was really bad with my first pregnancy. I had a reflexology session when I went over 40 weeks and went into labour the following day. After the birth I struggled a bit emotionally and had some reflexology which helped to pick me up again.”

Hayley

I recently had a relaxing labour preparation session with Victoria and I cannot express how fantastic it was. An hour and a half of pure heaven, I came away feeling incredibly relaxed. Would highly recommend to any mum to be later on in pregnancy. I had the session when I was 35 weeks pregnant.

Jo

Today I had the most amazing pregnancy massage from Victoria. I have had many massages in the past but this one tops the bill. Victoria really does care which comes through during the treatment, she works with your body and what you need on the day rather than a systematic massage. I would defiantly recommend her to everyone I know! �

Lucy

I have had 4 sessions with Victoria now after being referred by my midwife. Following the death of my 8 year old son in November, Victoria has been helping me manage feelings of grief and build a bond with our new baby. I have had reflexology which is very relaxing and has helped my spd symptoms considerably, EFT which although I had doubts at the start was amazing and gave me real clarity of thought and metamorphic massage which left me feeling so relaxed and cared for (I can’t explain it another way). I would thoroughly recommend Victoria and look forward to our appointments very much.

Sarah

Victoria is a very skilled practitioner with a warm and welcoming manner. I have had a couple of appointments with her, one during pregnancy and one postnatally, and have found the sessions both incredibly relaxing and useful in targeting specific issues. I felt that Victoria really cares about working holistically and tailoring her treatments to what is needed at the time and would highly recommend her – I will certainly be returning again

Laura

As a Physio it’s always difficult putting trust in other practitioners with your body! However Victoria was great in week 39+5 and 40+5 in my pregnancy when I was getting anxious about medical intervention ruining my natural birth plan…she calmed me with reflexology to aid baby’s position and my stress levels as well as touching on some relaxation and labour points and yoga nidra. I just wanted to thank her for her help after I gave birth totally naturally (just 2 paracetamol in pre-labour! No gas and air!) to a 9lb3 baby at 41weeks!!! I’m certain she played a huge part. Thanks!!!x

Clare

I had regular reflexology sessions with Victoria throughout my third trimester and she was brilliant at restoring energy, balance, calm and generally making you feel awesome. I saw her right up to the birth of my daughter and had a gorgeous session when she was just 4 days old which I can’t recommend enough. I’ve loved every session with Victoria – she has an amazing way with people and a magic touch. Go and see her!

Sally

“Thank you so much for all your help, advice and support during my pregnancy – I strongly suspect that your massage and advice were major factors in helping me keep active and mobile all the way through, and definitely made it much more comfortable and pleasant!”

Heather

“My legs suffer in pregnancy with cramps and restless leg & you helped them so much. I found sleeping & relaxing so much easier after each massage too.  I felt a little emotional when you said to think about the baby – we just don’t get the time to concentrate on number two. It was lovely to have that time just for me & the baby. Thank you so much.”
Becky

“Victoria is an amazing therapist she really helped me have a lovely a pregnancy. I started to see Victoria early on in my pregnancy as I was suffering with a bad back and was feeling some stress and anxiety. Victoria kept my back pain free and gave me helpful exercises. Victoria also helped keep me calm and positive with her relaxation and breathing techniques, I really liked Victoria’s approach and attitude towards pregnancy and birth and her kindness. I definitely found the treatments really benefited me throughout my pregnancy and am very grateful to Victoria.”

Holistic Therapy Testimonials

I’ve just had my first EFT session with Victoria and I have to say it was incredible. I feel so much lighter and so much better about myself after the experience. Thank you Victoria, I’m so glad we met xxx

Jennie

I had an amazing massage with Victoria this week. I had been feeling really vulnerable and really needed to feel whole and nurtured and the massage was exactly what I needed. I can highly recommend Victoria’s massage. I came out feeling wonderful and will definitely be going back again.

Judith

“Regular massage helped my shoulder flexibility enabling more efficient swimming technique and helped clear the lactic acid build up in my muscles. Regular massage  helped me gain a place in the GB Team for the World Triathlon Championships.”
Mike

I suffer from a very bad fear of flying and being Italian, but living here, it’s quite a challenging thing as I have to fly often to go visit my relatives. I decided to try EFT and did a session with Victoria. She’s absolutely amazing, makes you feel very comfortable and also makes you laugh! After the session I felt immediately better at the idea of flying.
After two days from the session I had to catch a plane and I managed to do it with much less anxiety than usual! I was really surprised as my fear has been lasting for years and I didn’t think it could ease so quickly!
I’ll definitely do other sessions with Victoria as I would like to be able to travel for more than the couple of hours needed to go to Italy!

Alys

I’ve been coming to see Victoria for several years now, both for reflexology and massage. She is a wonderful calm practitioner who really puts you at ease, her holistic approach leaves me feeling calm, grounded and re-centred. An excellent practitioner for fertility and menopause too, thank you Victoria I know I will be back again and again for years to come.

“Victoria Gazzard is quite simply the best reflexologist I have come across.  Her calm professional manner puts you at ease.  I have always left a session with Victoria feeling the benefits, I highly recommend her as a practitioner”.
Amy

“I wanted to thank you so much for another amazing therapy yesterday. I feel there’s an evident and very positive change in me since we first met and I started to receive treatments. You are the angel who brought hope back to me and that shone a light at the end of the tunnel. Your friendly and warm attitude from the first time I met you made me feel very welcomed and that you really cared, thank you. Opening up to you is easy and I feel I can trust you. Your capacity of empathy is amazing and feels honest.
Thank you so much for coming into my life.”
Carla

I have been receiving treatments from Victoria for about a year now. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to them ! I know that when I leave I will be feeling relaxed, grounded, and whole. Victoria has treated me with reflexology, EFT and metamorphic, whatever is needed at the time. Can’t recommend her enough.

Anna

This was my fourth visit to Victoria for reflexology and today I saw her at the Alma Vale Centre in Clifton. Victoria has such a beautiful, calming presence and just spending time with her is a bit like a warm hug. I always feel as though I am getting much more than just a ‘treatment’ as she really nurtures both mind and body. The reflexology itself was blissful – intuitive and gentle. I came in feeling run down with numerous aches and pains but already feel much brighter with more vitality. Thank you Victoria x

Aimee

Victoria was a pleasure to work with, even getting my husband in to teach a few techiques to continue the reflexology whilst she was away. She is warm and friendly, and it’s easy to feel relaxed around her. My sleep has improved and stress levels are stabilized, my main goal was achieved. I’d recommend Victoria and would definitely see her again if needed. Thanks Victoria. x

Sam

Victoria has the most amazing healing hands! I so enjoyed the massage I had. I’ve never experienced such attention paid to the sacrum and tummy, areas I find often neglected in a massage.
A bit of rocking, a bit of wrapping, hot stones, all blissful.

Jez

“Victoria provides totally fantastic holistic therapies; I have used Reflexology for stress related anxiety and Massage for relaxation. Both treatments have helped immensely and I am now better able to cope with situations that I used to find incredibly stressful. Victoria is personable, attentive and a great therapist. I would not hesitate to recommend her to my family and friends’.
Clive

Victoria is a calm, reassuring and supportive practitioner. she has an amazing capability to listen and take in the most sensitive information without judgement.
Her hypnotherapy has helped me hugely, unblock a lot of fear, and begin moving forward. I will be back for the reflexology and workshops, without doubt.

Lizzie

I saw Victoria yesterday after suffering from severe sciatica type symptoms, I contacted Victoria and she kindly fitted me on the day of contact. I went to yanley court for my consultation, Victoria explained procedures to me and then discussed possible treatments, even tho I was the last patient of what had been a very hot busy day Victoria then started treatment for me, she worked confidently and professionally for an hour and a half, providing massage and reflexology treatments. I could feel pain relief already. I will definitely be booking in with Victoria again and would highly recommend her
