What recent reviews say

Most visits highlight responsive therapists and a peaceful setting, though one client found the massage technique repetitive and lacked focus on problem areas. Pricing surprises (R500 extra for gel polish) and the absence of intake forms checking allergies or tension preferences have caught visitors off guard.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Clients consistently report transformative sessions with Hayley that bring calm, balance and deeper self-awareness. Many say they leave feeling held and understood, with some crediting her work above months of conventional therapy. Sessions combine energy healing, reiki, hypnotherapy and the Health Scan tool. Her garden setting feels peaceful and her approach honours both physical and emotional needs. Remote sessions are praised as effective as in-person ones, and repeat clients are common.
