Please note that your treatment time includes undressing and dressing time as well as a brief consultation to ensure your treatment is bespoke and able to accommodate any issues you may have.
Andrea became interested in complementary therapies and medicines many years ago after being involved in a car accident, she didn’t want to take all the tablets prescribed by doctors, as she knew they all have side effects. Andrea then began to look into ways she could deal with pain that did not involve taking tablets. After becoming fascinated by what she had experienced she decided to study massage, Indian head massage, Reiki and Reflexology. All of these still fascinate her and she is continually studying.
Treatments can be combined creating a tailormade package – e.g 45 minutes reflexology and 45 minute massage.

Annie
I had been diagnosed with PCOS few years ago and struggled with the typical symptoms: rapid weight gain, water retention, lack of energy and hormonal imbalance. I was really desperate for help as doctors only kept prescribing new drugs which only made me worse – then I found Andrea and I never looked back! During my first appointment Andrea came across as a really caring and friendly, but most importantly knowledgeable person and suggested that I have lymphatic massage with reflexology to work on my crazy hormones, and for next few months my appointments with Andrea were the highlight of my week! Each treatment was super relaxing and worked wonders, within weeks I started losing weight and excess water, my face was glowing and I could feel my hormones are getting back to their normal levels. My energy was back too so I went back to running and swimming regularly which I could not face before my first appointment with Andrea. Six months later I went back to my doctor for a scan and he could not believe all my symptoms disappeared without any medication and my ovaries were now cyst- free! I can recommend Andrea to anyone; she’s an amazing person and therapist.
Carol
I often get neck and shoulder ache from sitting at a desk all day. After the treatments I had no tension and realised that my posture when sitting at my desk was more comfortable. At the end of the treatment it felt like I’d had more than just my feet worked on!
Debbie, Balham
I would wholeheartedly recommend Andrea following my back, shoulder and neck massage. Like many people, that’s where I carry my stress and working at a desk all day adds to the strain. Consequently, I’ve had many such massages to help with tension and the treatment with Andrea was by far and away the best I have had.
Firstly, the pressure applied was neither too light or too heavy. The variety of massage therapists I have had in the past always fall into one of those two categories but Andrea was spot on.
My other pet hate is overly oily lotions but that used by Andrea did not leave me feel like a salad covered in dressing! Very smooth texture which added to the treatment.
As the treatment went on I could feel my shoulders and arms relaxing completely. My arms went from being firmly held by my side to just lolling off the sides of the table. I had to be helped back into my
top as my arms and shoulders felt so loose and relaxed.
The final touch was when I went home so relaxed that I had a nice afternoon nap which is a real achievement for a stress bunny like me!
I will be visiting again.
Di
I’ve been having reflexology treatment with Andrea and noticed a huge improvement in a short space of time. Andrea has such a calming presence, is incredibly caring and provides excellent treatments. Her genuine care and concern is not something you find often and instantly makes you feel comfortable and safe. I always fall asleep during the treatments but wake up feeling relaxed and energised. Andrea is a gem! Di
Emine Ali Rushton
I opted for Reflexology, but my intuitive therapist adds some Energy Work into the mix in a bid to rebalance my delicate digestive and immune systems. Though a course is recommended, I leave feeling far lighter in mind and return home to the best night’s sleep in weeks. Treat indeed.
Suzie
I just wanted to say thank you for today, I feel more supple. I think you’re the best massage therapist I have ever been to. I highly recommend Andrea to my friends and family. Thank you again.

I decided to have a course of reflexology treatments, I was a bit sceptical at first, but Andrea made me feel completely relaxed. I was totally amazed and will definitely be back for more treatments!

Heather
I have been seeing Andrea for reflexology for a few months. Andrea has a great attitude, is very helpful and is easy to talk to. Her work is amazing and I always leave a session feeling relaxed and energised!
Marta
I had been suffering from lower back pain for years. As suggested by Andrea I started a weekly cycle of deep tissue massage with her about a month and a half ago. The pain has completely disappeared, and now I am able to sit at my computer every day without feeling it. I would certainly recommend her treatment to my friends and family.
Martin
I found Andrea to be friendly and professional and most important, my back and shoulder massage from Andrea was very effective and made me feel far better.
Nat
After searching around London for a therapist who could really do ‘deep tissue’ massage and isn’t afraid to get into those knots, I was relieved to find Andrea who does exactly that. I have been regularly seeing her for the last few years as she is great and will cater to whatever particular trouble spots you have on the day. I have also tried the hot stone therapy which is a nice addition to deep tissue massage, especially in the winter months.
Andrea is very friendly, very reliable and treatments always seem to run on time. I would absolutely recommend her to my family or friends
Nicky
Hi, I just wanted to thank you so much for the reflexology treatment, at last a therapist that over-delivers. Wasn’t sure what to expect at first but I was really impressed with you and the treatment – I felt very relaxed and rejuvenated. I have already recommended you!
Suzie
I just wanted to say thank you for today, I feel more supple. I think you’re the best massage therapist I have ever been to. I highly recommend Andrea to my friends and family. Thank you again.
Rebecca J, London
Andrea is amazing at the hot stone massage.
I went in having tight muscles and left feeling so much lighter, she’s great and will be re-booking soon.
Sam S, London
I have visited Feel Good Balham a few times and every time the service is exemplary from the booking system to the greeting on arrival and the warm welcome and the level and quality of the treatment.
Andrea is just amazing and I would recommend her to anybody.
Thank you
Arlene A, London
I received an awesome deep tissue massage from Andrea in Balham.
Also, they followed the Covid guidelines to keep me safe.
Environment was clean and welcoming.
Jennifer T, London
Andrea and the reception team were lovely and welcoming.
Andrea took the time to chat to me first to understand what I needed and I felt so much better after my deep tissue massage.
I would highly recommend and will definitely be back!
Katelen, London
I had a great experience with Andrea for my first deep tissue massage.
It was impeccably clean and the team was amazing.
Andrea let me know exactly what to expect post-massage and gave me clear aftercare instructions.
Thank you FeelGoodBalham
Kate E, London
I’ve had massage treatments from Andrea for many years now.
She came recommended to me and I’d be happy to recommend her to others.
I was very reassured by Covid measures too.

Sarah G, London
I had the best pregnancy massage with Andrea, she listened to what I wanted to take from the massage and it was perfect. I wanted medium pressure to release stress in my neck and shoulders and she was brilliant. I would like to go back very soon for another one!
