Claire is the BEST massage therapist I have come across. I'm a massage therapist myself and have had hundreds of massages so I know what I'm talking about. Her knowledge of the human body is extremely good and the massages keep me loose and comfortable for weeks afterwards. I'm so pleased she was recommended to me.

I have suffered with back pain for several years and had surgery to a prolapsed disc five years ago. I have visited many clinics for massage, Clare is by far the very best I have experienced. Clare is calm, kind and takes such care to listen and look after you. She has the ability to find the area causing the pain and applies the correct pressure to help eliminate the discomfort. Clare is a wonderful lady providing a truly comforting treatment. Thank you Clare.

Clare gives the best massage I have ever had! She is knowledgable and her expertise is clearly evident. She makes you feel well cared for & encourages you to take better care of yourself. She always tailors her approach to each session, if you need peace & quiet thats fine, if you want to chat thats OK. I went for my last massage with sciatica associated problem & the next day my back was much more relaxed & symptoms much improved. She is a perfectionist & always gives a wonderful massage.
The salon where she works is lovely and her room always warm & relaxing.

I love it when I have an appointment with clare coming up as I know that I will feel so much better after seeing her. She is very skilled at providing the right kind of massage for your body at that time, be it simply relaxing and easing to working deeply on damaged or tense areas, and I dont have to tell her very much she knows by what seems the simplest touch what is needed. Added to that Clare is a pleasure to be with for an hour with her sensitivity, kindness and humour - long live Optimum Massage!

Cutting to the chase, she's brilliant! Thanks Clare, i wish you continued success.

A treatment with Clare of Optimum Massage is an extra special experience.

Clare's caring and kindness gives her the gift of knowing just exactly what it is you need from your treatment. Clare's ability to home in on tight and knotted muscles and treat them with great care and respect allows the receiver of the treatment to totally relax and trust in Clare's ability, knowledge and wisdom.

I love having a treatment with Clare, I can be myself - happy or sad - and I know Clare will respect how I'm feeling and work within the boundaries of my moods. I also know that after my treatment I will feel like all the kinks and knots in my muscles will have been released and that my mood will have been uplifted.

The way Clare approaches her treatments is what giving a complementary therapy is all about - working with and for the client and on every level.

Optimum Massage run by Clare has been the best investment I have made in the last year. I am a cosmetic dentist and run a private clinic in Norwich. The very nature of my work leads to chronic neck and back problems. I am treated by Clare every 4 weeks for deep tissue massage to reduce and eliminate the tension in my overworked muscles. Within 3 sessions I had much needed relief. Furthermore, Clare offered advice on how to improve my posture and prevent back, neck and shoulder problems. There have been some sessions I have actually drifted off to sleep during the therapy! Clare is a positive individual and is genuine. She makes the client feel relaxed and always runs on time. Her business grows on word of mouth and I feel the massages are worth every penny! Sam

Her treatments are truly holistic and I have always left feeling massaged on the outside as well as listened to and 'heard'. She is very professional without being starchy and I would be happy to send any of my friends to Clare for massage treatments.

Clare is a friendly, caring, knowledgable and very professional person. If you require a remedial massage for whatever problem, Clare can get right to the point!!! She is very positive with her pressure (which I love - no aromatherapy massage for me thank you) which can be suprisingly relaxing also. I was introduced to Clare by my Pilates teacher and am so thankful that I recommend Clare whenever I am able.
She most definitely deserves to 'share the love' by winning.

I had recently suffered a shoulder injury playing badminton, I was given advice by a doctor to rest the injury for a minimum of 6 weeks. It turned out to be more like 8 weeks and with this amount of rest caused stiffness in my shoulder and back. Having visited Clare for a couple of sessions it helped a massive amount to speed up my return to playing again. For me the benefit was not only the massage but advice on stretching I should be doing to prevent further injuries. I now intend on having regular sessions keeping old age and injuries away :)

Clare's skills and therapeutic touch saved me from taking pain killers every day. After the operation on my arm my diagnosis was 'damaged nerve, severe arm pain'.Thanks to regular massages with Clare i can not only work, but forgot all about the pain and throbbing which made my life miserable. She's always listening, has plenty of good advice, but never pushes it on you. I didn't have trouble with my arm for two years now and visits to Clare are always the highlights of the month. Now Clare is also treating my husband, who's back just gave back one day. Thanks to her he got so much better and now enjoying much more different activities as sports, running weight training which he never was able to do. We can never thank Clare enough.

When i moved from London I didn't think i'd ever have a massage so good in Norwich! As a qualified masseur myself i'm always looking for someone who has that perfect balance between firm pressure and soothing energy that makes me leave feeling amazing. Clare has real talent and her approach feels very tailoured to me as an individual

I have always found it hard to fully relax in order to enjoy the all the benefits of a massage. However with Clare it is a totally different experience, she always takes the time to listen and understand what you need from the treatment. Clare ensures you feel comfortable and not only works on the problem but finding a long term solution. I would describe a massage with Clare as ultimate relaxation through healing hands!

Clare is always welcoming and has a lovely smile. Apart from her skills as a massage therapist, she is always willing to listen and has a natural warmth. She is very patient-centred and skillfully matches your treatment for that day to how you are feeling mentally as well as physically.
Clare makes you feel as if you are the most important person in the world for the time in which you're there and never rushes you out at the end!
The treatment room is always gloriously warm and the treatment table is the most comfy I've ever had the pleasure to lie on.
Clare is a petite power-house, with hands as strong as you want them to be and a gentle, friendly manner.
Everything you need really!

Clare's massage has really helped me after two injuries, one to the back and one the hip. I have found that I can trust her to work on the areas which are tight and painful, and she is very sensitive to how much pressure the body needs to help it heal itself. She has a very deep knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Last of all she is offers this in such a respectful and personal way.

I smashed my back up quite badly in a cycling accident when I was 22 and have never been able to shake away the pain no matter what I tried, took or went to. That was until I went to see Clare who had made me feel better than I ever have and I no longer have twinges or nagging pains. She knows exactly what is good for you and what is not, no trial and error, she is a very talented lady and I wholeheartedly would recommend her for those recovering from injury. Thanks Clare !
