Read some of the thoughts and comments made by our patients about The Bodyworks Practice:
Sports Masage: I came to Bodyworks and saw Karl with a complaint of chest pain that my GP wasn't interested in as my heart had checked out satisfactorily. This condition was upsetting and adding to my already stressful job and lifestyle, Karl was fantastic and really took time to understand me and my problems and he was able to find and treat the root cause of my problem which was muscular. After three sessions at the Bodyworks I'm a changed man and I cant thank Karl enough, nor praise the Bodyworks more highly. DF
Sports Massage: I have been visiting Karl at Bodyworks for many years now, and no matter where else I go, no one else can meet what is now my expectations of what a treatment should be like. The personalised service is the one that I love. He seems to know me a lot more than I know myself, and the service is individual to my needs, taking into consideration my lifestyle, and what more I can do to help myself away from the clinic.
Sports Massage: I visited Karl at the Bodyworks clinic because of hip and leg pain and I had a slight limp, he quickly realised that one hip was higher than the other and suggested treating me with Arvigo Massage. I was amazed that even after the first session, my limp was virtually gone. I had a couple of follow up sessions and afterwards I felt my hips were straighter than they had been since before giving birth to my children, which was a long time ago, and I was able to stand and walk straight without feeling I was continually leaning to one side. I was extremely grateful, and felt I'd been given a new pair of hips! MD
Sports Massage / Osteopathy: I have been visiting the Bodyworks Practice for sometime now and when I first visited Karl and Laurence I was in a sorry state and fairly desperate if truth be told. From the very first consultation they both understood my problem and knew what needed to be done.
After spending a good 18 months of trying to sort out my problems which where caused by a motorcycle accident and listening to specialists say there was nothing wrong, it was very welcome and not only that, they fixed me via massage and osteopathy
Now I just visit them for maintenance and a chat, Happy days.....really!

Sports Massage / Craniosacral Therapy / Deep Tissue Massge: As a 24yr old post-grad student, the years of hunching over a desk have finally caught up and I began my search for a regular massage therapist. After being disappointed by spas where issues (tightness, knots etc.)were aggravated rather than resolved I stumbled upon The Body Word during a google search. My boyfriend mentioned he'd gone there once quite a while ago (he was in a serious car accident and has crushed vertebrates), so we booked back-to-back appointments and kept our fingers crossed. My first massage was with Karl and my boyfriend saw Sharmin- since then we've made an effort to go at least once a month, but managed to go once a week for a while. I've also seen Jennifer and am always pleased with the results. The difference it made is immeasurable- our pains levels halved and allowed us to feel like we're in our 20s and not 90s. LC
Osteopathy: My back and ribs were extremely painful. I had been overdoing it in the garden and house cleaning. I saw Laurence, the osteopath, who knew exactly what I meant and was able to give me some pain relief through gentle manipulation, massage and an exercise programme. Each week it improved, until after a few weeks I was completely free of all pain. I was very impressed and have recommended his treatment to my friends. DM
Osteopathy: A highly professional experience. Being a very keen cyclist, covering over 100 miles a week, I had developed an uncomfortable crick in my neck, making it very uncomfortable to turn and look over my left shoulder and move my left ear towards my left shoulder, (looking right was fine as I spend most of my time looking out for traffic this side). I saw Laurence for 2 Osteopathic treatments and was amazed at the range of movement I now have again. I am able to look, pain free, with no crunching noises, over both shoulders. I no longer have to rotate my whole body to look left, I no longer get the burning sensation in my left shoulder and neck and I am able to sleep more soundly. Laurence gave me some homework to do (simple stretches that I could easily incorporate into my everyday life) and suggested I only come back when I felt it was necessary, not every week for the next 3 months, like some other back care specialists I have seen.
The whole experience, from the moment I walked (painfully) through the door, to the moment I left (pain free) was excellent, I cannot recommend Laurence enough. KM
Massage / Reiki: I have had sleeping problems for some time and have found that regular Reiki treatments by Sharmin have greatly helped in gradually changing and improving my sleeping patterns.
In my opinion,a good nights sleep is essential in order to deal with the rigorous demands of our everyday life and Reiki has certainly been beneficial.
Thank you Sharmin for your Reiki expertise..it very much respected and appreciated!
Hypnotherapy / NLP: I have suffered with social phobia for 20 years and could no longer sing with a choir which I missed very much. As part of my treatment for this I had 3 or 4 hypnotherapy and NLP sessions at the Body Works Practice, I am now singing again. I can use some of the techniques I learned to help with general relaxation and to help in stressful situations.
MR
Hypnotherapy / NLP: Prior to my first appointment at The Body Works Practice I had for several years been feeling stressed, unmotivated and frustrated in my career. As a result of this, events happened in my life (brought on by my stress/frustration) and I found myself out of work with an uncertain future ahead of me. I decided to seek help and my research led me to The Body Works Practice and Vicky Borley. Just explaining to Vicky what I had been bottling up inside for years combined with the NLP treatment Vicky gave resulted in a feeling that a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I could begin to look ahead rather than keep thinking of the traumatic few months I had recently experienced. A few weeks after seeing Vicky, I was offered 2 new jobs and am now in a better place than I have been for many years. I still have some way to go before I will feel 100% happy with myself, but taking the first step to mental well being is the hardest, and for anyone who can relate to what I have just described, I would recommend an appointment with Vicky to see if she can help you.

Detox Porgammes: Wow- what an experience. I have recently completed the 7 day total cleanse programme and feel terrific. I had started the year feeling quite ill having rather overdone things during the festive period. I turned to Nicole, had an initial colonic and then embarked upon the 7 day programme. My primary goals were to clear out my system and to pave the way for a transformation in my future eating habits. It definitely cleared out my system though I will spare you the details. And, it has inspired me to change my way of eating- I have now been wheat, caffeine, dairy and red meat free for three weeks and have significantly reduced my sugar, alcohol and fat intake. I was also interested in losing some weight so was delighted at shedding 14lbs during the week (though I should say half of that came back the following week once I started eating again- which was no great surprise). I have lost count of the number of people complimenting me on how great I look. My skin feels fantastic, I have a really healthy glow, I am sleeping like a baby and feel strong and full of energy and vitality. Nicole was superb throughout and Karl was very helpful too. Thoroughly supportive and interested in my progress and full of tips and ideas. She also did an Iridology session with me, which, pardon the pun, was a massive "eye opener". Overall, I would thoroughly and without hesitation recommend it to anyone. The thought of it admittedly is not great. However, once you overcome this, the practicalities are actually fine. At no time did I feel hungry during the week, a little bored, yes but never hungry. So, whatever your motivation, have a go and enjoy the benefits for yourself. DH
Detox Programme: I did a 5day cleansing with two colonics day 4 and 5. I was dreading the cleansing, I thought I will be hungry and will be craving food all the time. The first day passed and I felt great, no hunger, no headaches, nothing, Second day the same, third, fourth and fifth were the same and I felt lighter and lighter. I could probably carry on for longer. After the cleansing I felt fantastic, my complexion improved, I lost weight (and still keep it down) I felt lighter and more energetic. Seeing the new and improved me, my partner decided to give it a go too. Am now I'm the process of convincing my mum, and I doubt it will be hard. I will definitely be doing it once a year at least.

Detox Programme: For some time now i have been feeling really lethargic, tired and fed up with my body and lifestyle. Christmas eating and drinking was my final straw... It was time to get rid of all that nasty junk inside me and start fresh, I need to cleanse my kidneys, my liver and try and start a new healthy regime, I called Bodyworks and without even thinking about it I booked my 3 day total cleansing and colonic. The first few hours were hard but I enjoyed the challenge and I knew how good I would feel after. Yes I felt great, its now been two weeks and my eating habits have changed from bad to great. I have so much more energy, my skin is glowing and I lost nearly a stone in weight. I am now training to do this years London marathon and my life is just brilliant now. Everyone should do this twice a year and you'll soon start to see the change in you. My therapist was kind, gentle and polite and made me feel very welcome, I will be back for more! AJ
Detox Programme: I wanted to lose weight and get a better understanding of what I eat. Not only did I get a great treatment from the Bodyworks Practice, but the 7 DAY DETOX shed 8kg and left me feeling 100%. GH
Detox Programme / Food Intolerance Testing: I visited the bodyworks last year with a digestive problem which the nhs and the private sector could not clear up .Nicole did an allergy test and found some things which may be causing the problem she said .A course of tablets were prescribed and then a detox and then a colonic and i am very pleased to say the problem has disappered .Nicole and janine were so helpful throughout the whole process and my life has changed dramatically .I will be visiting the bodyworks for years to come and so should you all.

Detox Programme: I needed to lose weight and to feel better within myself in general. Having been recommended by a friend I completed the 5 day detox and lost 8 pounds. I now feel more confident, healthier and have been able to lose more weight since the treatment. The staff were all really friendly and knowledgeable, and they made sure I felt comfortable with the treatment. KP
Deep Tissue Massage: For my birthday, my family treated me to my first experience of deep tissue massage with Nicole. It left me feeling so good that I booked immediately for a series of massages. Over a year later I'm still seeing Nicole. Her knowledge of the human body and suggestions of natural remedies to ease/and improve certain conditions that we tend to live with, because we think it's normal, is amazing. I love being massaged and have been to several different therapists but Nicole beats them all hands down!! No one else will do!! I strongly recommend you call Bodyworks and make an appointment with Nicole. She's sure to make you FEEL GOOD! R
Deep Tissue Masage: I have for years struggled to try and find somewhere...somebody...who gives a good deep tissue massage to alleviate the tension I get in my shoulders and neck and my lower back ache. Nicole is superb - her knowledge of massage and the human body meant she found and worked on resolving what was causing my lower backache. And with Laurence the Osteopath my spine and muscles are now moving so much more freely. I leave every session, whether it's with Nicole or Laurence, feeling so much more relaxed and awake, not lethargic at all, and with limited tension and aching - if any at all. I would certainly highly recommend Bodyworks.DK
Colonic Irrigation:
Nicole is not only phenomenal with her gentle approach to administering a colonic, but she is also educated and willing to share her knowledge on maintaining a healthy lifestyle that further benefits the results of a colonic. LG
Colonic Irrigation: A colonic treatment could be, and I built it up to be a rather traumatic experience. This could not have been further from the truth…Having being diagnosed with IBS many years ago & suffering on a regular basis I decided that perhaps I should try a different tact. On my first visit Nicole was wonderful, very thorough in establishing what my issues were & any possible underlying problems that I may have. Once this was established & both parties were happy the treatment began. Once the treatment starts, amazingly you relax. Nicole is with you all the time and is the important part of making you feel so relaxed. The procedure is discreet and the facilities that you need are all in the one area, not shared by others (something I was very relieved to hear!) Nicole looks at the bigger picture and will cover everything that you need to do to benefit from such treatments, giving sound nutritional advice, advising on the best supplements and diet. I have been back on numerous occasions to see Nicole as the treatment proved so successful for me. I no longer have the pains that I suffered and the difference in how I feel has been huge. Nicole has a wealth of knowledge and is very professional in her approach. It is she who makes you feel so relaxed & comfortable. I highly recommend Nicole and the colonic therapy that she offers. Thank you Nicole. AS
Colonic Irrigation: I've been a regular client of Bodyworks in Sutton and now in Nork at their new and much more comfortable premises on the "High Street" just by the Fir Tree Road junction. Colonic Hydrotherapy is not the most comfortable of procedures, but Nicole takes the embarrassment out of it - (well at 57 it's something very er unusual!) and is sensitive to the intrusive nature of what she does, as gently as possible. And it works! I'm 3kg lighter and have lost the lethargy I had. Life is better. I can't recommend it enough. PC
Colonic Irrigation: I have been a Bodyworks customer since the day it opened, having previously been a client of Nicole's in her previous premises.
Nicole has always explained the whole process of colonic irrigation to me and has made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout the process. She has explained to me about diet and other factors that can affect the treatment and since I have been having colonics I have noticed a huge improvement in my skin, my body and my overall health. I have more energy after a treatment and my skin is more glowing.
Colonic Irrigation: I came to Jane after suffering for two weeks of extreme pain and discomfort from constipation, and in what could have been an extremely embarassing situation, I was made to feel at ease. I follow a pretty healthy diet so it was unclear why I found myself to be in that position in the first place but Jane investigated the cause and diagnosed the problem. She gave advised me to take a supplement for a couple of weeks and avoid certain foods to see if it made a difference to the symptoms based on what she found. I am happy to say that following her advice I have not had a repeat of the symptoms I was suffering from before and I intend on visiting on a regular basis to make sure I keep on top of my bowel health. I cannot thank Jane and bodyworks for their help enough! TA
Colonic Irrigation: I have tried several colonic hydrotherapists in the area and I have found Nicole and her team to be by far the best. Her naturopathic approach and knowledge combined with her friendly and calming manner make it an extremely pleasant and valuable experience. My health is going from strength to strength following my treatments. I would thoroughly and already do, recommend the Bodyworks Practice to anyone looking to improve their health and well-being. KS
Iridology: I decided to try iridology, I have heard various things about it, but didn’t know exactly what it involved, I have to tell you, a year later I am still speechless. From knowing my emotional behaviour to the state of my health, all from looking in my eyes still leaves me speechless till now. It has helped me understand my lifestyle, and my justification for doing the things I do. It has also helped me look at my health, after recognising what nutrients my body was lacking in – they say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and this was enough evidence to me.
Food Intolerance Testing: After months of deliberating the cost, I then had a food intolerance test with Bodyworks – all the foods that I l was addicted too, Chocolate, bread. Olives, I was intolerant too, apparently this is normal. I cut them out of my diet and lost 4 lbs immediately – why did I not do this sooner I keep asking myself?
To sum it up, I know of no other clinic that offers the personalised service, to meet my individual needs like Bodyworks. They know me as a person, not as a client. It’s like I am part of their family.
I have recommended over 7 of my friends to visit them, when they do – they all say to me, “why didn’t you tell me about this clinic sooner!” and I will keep recommending them. LJ
I have made return visits to the Bodyworks for a number of different treatments and on each occasion have been extremely satisfied with the service. All staff have been friendly and professional and I have always been made to feel comfortable. I am extremely pleased with the results. Mr W, 27, Chiswick
We have many more that can be viwed on: 
I just wanted to say how happy I am with the treatment and service I have had at Bodyworks, since it opened. The team are very professional at all times and as someone who is used to having therapies, the quality of treatments is excellent. I would and have recommended Bodyworks to my company and friends. MG
I have found the staff at The Bodyworks Practice very friendly and would definitely recommend the practice to my family and friends. The practice is very clean and modern. EH |
