I just had my first massage with Onie and it was absolutely amazing. The deep tissue massage has cleared up all of my knots and sore spots. Not only was the massage great but she is a wonderfully nice person who instantly made me feel at ease. This was the best massage I have ever received and cannot wait to go back!

After my 2nd deep tissue massage with Onie, I honestly can't remember ever feeling so relaxed. The whole experience is really calming and the benefits to my shoulders and back are undeniable. I can literally feel the knots being teased out. Next time, I think I will treat myself to something gentler.

I cant praise Onie enough. I've been having 2hr pregnancy massages which I've found to be extremely beneficial. I've not only had the rare opportunity for 2 hours of relaxation but my tensions and aches have really been eased by the longer, more detailed treatments. I'm expecting my 3rd baby and these treatments have definitely been the best I've had and I'll certainly be booking more once our newest arrival comes.

I came for a new year treat: a deep tissue massage for my aching shoulders with Frances. I was amazed, and left feeling great! It was really firm pressure where it was needed most. I particularly loved the warm Ayurvedic oils she was using - they felt gorgeous and have detoxing magic herbal things in them too like ginger and turmeric. Frances is a lovely therapist. Its the kind of pampering everyone should get once in a while when the stress is building up.

I have attended now three courses led by Onie: Pregnancy and Post Natal Massage and the Hands-Free-Massage Course. I definitely can recommend all these!
All courses were a great mixture of theoretical knowledge, practical work and great fun.
Onie knows how to motivate everyone and she really does an excellent job in constructive criticism. She supports everyone in a really good way and is really patient in showing techniques again and again and answering any question.
So if you consider getting more knowledge especially in Pregnancy and Postnatal Massage please visit the courses and if you consider changing the massage style, it is really worth coming to the Hands-free course!
Well done, Onie!

Along with some of my NCT friends, baby Holly and I did the 3 week Baby Massage taster course. It was great fun and really easy to follow the techniques. Onie was a brilliant tutor and Mum's and babies all enjoyed it a lot. A nice way to spend an hour chatting, eating cake and learning some new skills. Holly really likes the tummy massage in particular and it's been great for her reflux and keeping her 'regular'! Highly recommend it.....

Having been on Onie's pregnancy massage course I would recommend it to any therapist considering pregnancy massage.

A wonderful hands-on (and sometimes hands-free!) course which gave me some useful tools and valuable experience in massaging a pregnant lady. It is a great feeling being able to help someone at such a special time. I know I would have loved a proper massage during my pregnancy to ease my aching back, and it's awesome to know that I have the skills to make such a difference in these ladies' lives.

I learned so much on this course and it motivated me to get back into massage at a time when I was feeling quite down-hearted about it. No more!

Thank you KnotStressed, an excellent course!

I have just completed the 5 week baby massage/shiatsu course with Connor, my 5 month old son. It was great. Onie creates a very friendly and relaxed session and it was a lovely way to meet new mums too. The course is very instructive and fun and we have learnt lots of techniques to use at home. Connor is a very active munchkin and I found this calming class a great way to chill him out, so much so that we are looking to book on to another course in January. I would highly recommend knotstressed to others. Thanks again Onie!

I have also been to Frances for a post-natal massage which was fab. It was an extremely calming hour and I felt so much better afterwards. She focuses on the areas you want, in my case my sore shoulders and neck, and works to a pressure which you feel comfortable with. I will definately be going back when I get an hour away from the little one. Thanks Frances.

The best massage course I have attended! I highly recommend the Hands Free Massage Course from Onie.
She presented the techniques in a clear and practical approach to our class. As she is not only kind but patient and always mindful how to correct our posture. You only need to ask and she's there to help you with a lovely heart. Thank you Onie.

Injury Prevention / Hands Free Level 1 workshop
Just completed a thoroughly enjoyable weekend with Onie
Content, delivery and pace all spot-on
Left on Sunday feeling excited that I now have a great foundation to build on
Thanks again Onie

Both my husband and I found the hypnobirthing course led by accredited trainer, Onie Tibbitt, an extremely informative, helpful and enjoyable experience. We highly recommend it to other couples regardless of their birth choices. We have already felt the benefits of the course even before the birth of our baby. The impartiality with which crucial information was given to us has made us realise our options throughout the entire process. As a result, we feel not only more knowledgeable but most importantly more confident and empowered. The learning we obtained from the course added to the follow up practice at home has already had a huge impact on our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. We are feeling more positive, less fearful and more in control of how to respond to the present and future challenges we face. Even my pregnancy aches became more manageable and I feel healthier and happier now than I did in the first and second trimesters. Now that my husband and I have been through the whole course together, we both feel better equipped and better prepared for birth and parenthood. Not to mention the transferrable skills we gained with the many visualisation and relaxation techniques, which we'll certainly be applying beyond the birth of our baby. We are both looking forward to the arrival of our wee one and are happy to give more feedback on the actual birth process once he is here! Thanks a lot to Onie and Knotstressed for their dedication and good work.

Thank you very much for a wonderful deep tissue massage by Frances on Friday. I must keep to making regular appointments as the benefits are invaluable! After a lull in massaging, my back feels reborn & un-knotted!
Lots of love, I'll be back xxx

I was recommended coming for pregnancy massage with Onie by a friend and started coming when I was about 28 weeks pregnant. I can truly say I wished I had discovered Knotstressed earlier as I felt it really hit the spot. Every time I come I feel so relaxed and nurtured, with just the right level of pressure. I always seem to sleep well after my massage appointment and would like to continue coming after I've had my baby. Onie has a positive vibe and the knowledge and experience that makes me feel I am in capable hands. Thank you!

thankyou so much for my treatment - i was really struck by the deep relaxation i achieved - i had some good signs of detoxing this weekend which is always a good thing after a massage i think!!! and i've been sleeping really well :) so i'll definately be back - i should probably book another one now!

Hands Free Massage Course
I have just spent an extremely enjoyable and iteresting weekend with Onie and two other therapists. Onie is an excellent teacher - supporting and encouraging me to develop new skills and to adapt my existing techniques which will not only improve the quality of my treatments but help prevent damage to my joints.It has also been very useful to share experiences with other therapists.I left feeling happy and excited about practicing my new 'moves' and hopefully will be able to attend the level two course. I would heartily recommend this course - many thanks for a great weekend Onie!

It has been almost 5 months since I had my baby girl. I have since met a lot of mothers and heard a lot of stories about birth. After my experience with Hypno –birthing, I would just like to say that i would strongly recommend the classes to all pregnant women.
The workshops are very relaxed but also very informative and structured, filled with educational videos and comprehensive handouts. I knew what I was signing up to but my partner was very sceptical. Now he acknowledges its benefits and was happy with the guidance and structured approach, overall he enjoyed the whole experience.
Personally, the course gave me the invaluable knowledge of what is possible and what choices I had when it came to the birth of my child and that it emphasised the point that every woman should have peaceful and respectful environment in which she can bring a child into this world.
My birth was calm and undisturbed, with little intervention by medical staff, I got the water birth I requested and was able to bring my daughter into the world in harmony with the rhythm of nature.
My daughter Matylda is a very happy and easy going baby and as her first minutes in this world very peaceful, she is a calm and easily content baby.
Onie, thank you very much for all the excellent class and the experience and confidence it gave me!

Onie is quite simply brilliant. I 'found' her when I was 34 weeks pregnant and wish I had been sooner. I felt so much better after my treatment and the aches and pains of late stage pregnancy are now fading away as a result of a wonderfully relaxing 90 min massage. Have booked another 3 treatments and am absolutely delighted with Onie's positive attitide and advice, and the way she made me feel at ease given my slightly complicated pregnancy. Thank you!

My husband and I decided that we wanted to attend a hypnobirthing course as part of the birth preparation for our first baby. It was the first antenatal course that we attended and we appreciated the small group size and ease of discussion within the group (well facilitated by Onie). Onie does not just explain and teach hypnobirthing techniques but also brings in a wealth of other information such as demystifying different approaches to birth and massage techniques, all in an accessible, down to earth way. My husband was initially worried that the course may be a bit ‘flakey’ for him but quickly recognised that Onie’s approach was based on fact and professional knowledge and really looked forward to the sessions. In fact, when we attended other antenatal classes he realised how much he already knew about birth and the options available compared to the other dads and felt part of all the decisions at a very early stage.

The birth itself ended up very different to what we had planned. We had wanted a water birth at home but having started the labour at home I ended up having a non-emergency transfer to hospital. It later transpired our son was ‘face up’ which was why I didn’t dilate even after a long labour. We had previously decided not to have someone else with us at the birth (other than medical staff) but had asked Onie to be our doula phone support. She was a massive help throughout the labour. We called her at every stage as circumstances changed.She supported us in helping us explore how we felt about our options, so that we felt comfortable making the decisions that were right for us.

Although the birth was not what we had ideally planned – our son was eventually born via non-emergency c section – we both feel very positive about our birth experience. This is largely down to the relaxation techniques we learnt in our hypnobirthing course (very useful for me when I got to hospital as I am sacred of needles!) and the opportunity we had to explore our choices at each stage. Onie’s phone support during the labour was also invaluable at a time when the situation was changing all the time.

Onie is still a big part of our son’s life. We attended the knotstressed baby massage course and he loves his nightly massage after his bath (despite my less than note perfect singing!) We have also put our names down for the baby signing course and are looking forward to that this summer. A big thanks to knotstressed and Onie for all your help and support throughout my pregnancy and our son’s early few months.

I absolutely loved the KnotStressed Baby Signing course. Including singing, actions (signs) and toys to play with, it cannot fail to entertain and delight your little one. All the babies are so engaged, you can see how much they enjoy it. It's also great for mums/dads/carers too as Onie creates such a lovely, friendly atmosphere, leaving everyone relaxed and enjoying the social aspect too. If I was to recommend two classes for babies, it would be swimming (for obvious reasons) and signing (for all of the reasons above and more). It's my favourite baby class so far. To top it off, Keira is now starting to use the signs - she's 8.5mths.

I highly recommend the Pregnancy Massage course. I’ve had a fantastic 3 days and met lovely people as well as learning heaps! I’d say that the course is a must if you truly want to offer the best you can and tailor your treatments specifically and offer support to your client during this special time of physical and emotional change. The day after I completed the course I had the privilege of massaging a friend at 41 weeks pregnant and felt confident and able to deal with issues as they arose during her treatment, she thoroughly enjoyed her massage and said she felt very safe and cared for. The following morning she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl! Within a couple of days following the course I have also used the side lying positioning and techniques with non-pregnant clients to treat low back pain and the feedback has been great!
