Trusted & professional
We’re both level 4 qualified, fully insured, first aid trained and Massage Training Institute registered. All our massages are safe and professional, and we have a zero tolerance policy for sexual conduct. Our clients consistently rate us 5 stars! Find out more about the two of us here.
Client-centred and inclusive
Our holistic approach puts you, the clients, at the centre of what we do. We try our very best to hold a safe, welcoming therapeutic space to meet you as you are in the moment. We're committed to inclusivity, because every body deserves massage!
Varied techniques
We don't just follow a fixed sequence, as you might find in some spas. Rather, we tailor each treatment to your preferences and needs. We're trained in a range of techniques from different traditions, including Swedish massage, deep tissue, chair massage, stretching and joint mobilisation, facial acupressure, and more.
A quality experience
We massage in a lovely, spacious room on extra-padded, extra-wide and comfy massage tables, complete with adjustable heated blankets! Our basement therapy room is quiet and sheltered - warm in winter and cool in summer. No scratchy paper roll, just freshly laundered cotton drapes, plus your choice of scented massage oil and soothing background music.
The perfect massage experience? Maybe.
To be honest, we don't have a marketing department and we get a little shy tooting our own horn... which is why we're really grateful when clients do it for us!
At the risk of blushing a little, we have to say we're very proud and honoured to be:
#1 Bristol massage provider
#2 overall in Spa & Wellness
According to TripAdvisor's traveler ranking (the ranking that's based purely on independent reviews, where businesses can't pay to appear higher). We received a TripAdvisor Traveler's Choice Award in 2025!
reviewed positively 180+ times
Our clients have been kind enough to leave lots and lots of reviews detailling their experiences so if you want to know what to expect, please don't take our word for it - take theirs.
averaging 5 stars across multiple platforms
It's always such a pleasure when our approach to massage resonates with people. We hear a lot of stories from clients about unpleasant or lackluster experiences in the past, so it's a joy to get positive feedback and know we made a difference.
Every body deserves massage
We want Owlfinch Therapies to be a welcoming and inclusive space first and foremost. We believe everyone deserves self-care, especially those belonging to marginalised communities who might find it less easy to feel safe receiving touch from strangers.
We take a holistic, mental health and trauma-informed approach to massage that takes into account your physical and emotional needs and puts you as an individual first. We recognise (and celebrate!) that bodies come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, colours and textures - all of them very deserving of some TLC.
We're both members of the LGTBQ+/GSRD and neurodivergent communities. We strive to be anti-oppressive and anti-racist. We bring lived experience of chronic physical and mental conditions and invisible disabilities to our practice. We're not perfect, but we're always listening and learning and we do our best.
Whatever your feathers, whatever your flock, you deserve self-care. You deserve to be pampered. You deserve a massage.
