Moira Johnson, Hounslow Massage Therapy
‘Quality treatment from a local practitioner with over 20 years experience’.
My name is Moira and I am a highly experienced Massage Therapist.
I have been working with the older age group for many years, who
I feel is often overlooked by other therapists, and yet arguably need
the healing power of touch even more. This is a time when chronic
conditions may be established, aches and pains may manifest and
budgets more restricted. I aim to offer high quality treatments at an
accessible price for those wishing to help themselves.
Each treatment is targeted to your needs. “My clients have recently
rated my level of professionalism, understanding of ailments and
treatments extremely highly.”
I am based at Edward Pauling House which has a dedicated and purpose built room at
providing a spacious and tranquil setting for every treatment. Please note that bookings
are essential in order to access this service.
