Personal message from Dawn Symons

"I have been treating, healing & caring for people for more than 24 years. My aim has always been to provide both a therapeutic and holistic service which draws on any combination of therapies and knowledge to give the most beneficial result. Each treatment is unique. I have always thought of it as using whichever 'tools' in my 'tool box' to give the client exactly what they need at that particular time. Having been asked how I would describe myself repeadly during my career I realised I was unable to tell people exactly what I do, as it is so much and so varied,but to me at the end of the day its all the same- its the treatment of a body which has the potential to have both physical and psychological pain." Dawn Symons

As well as providing "the best" deep tissue massage (her client's words!), using 100% therapeutic grade oils, Dawn can help with back pain; acute or chronic injury; post-surgery or illness; muscular pain & tension; knee, shoulder & other joint problems, migraines, physical / mental trauma; pregnancy & following childbirth, & those living with terminal illness.

What Dawn's Clients Have Said…

Dawn certainly deserves the title “best kept secret in Cornwall” and as someone who has discovered her, rightly, I should keep my mouth shut and keep the secret. However, as one who has suffered from a bad back and has been acquainted with the misery that it brings, it only seems fair to share this Cornish secret! If you, like me, like decisive action and results then Dawn is the answer and I whole heartedly recommend her knowing how much she has done to put me firmly on the road to recovery and keeping me there.
Mr J Cayzer-Colvin

 Having received a completely rejuvenating treatment from Dawn at the Tresanton in St Mawes, I realised how poor the available alternatives were in London; it’s very rare to find a therapist like Dawn who has such a holistic and perceptive awareness of your treatment needs. It’s fantastic to that Dawn now has a regular and easily accessible  practice in Central London.
Mr R Shenfield

 I train intensively five times a week and my muscles had become very tight and stressed, so much so that exercising was doing me more harm than good and my performance was dropping.  I found Dawn on my fitness website and was really impressed by the fact that she tailors the treatment to the individual and is able to draw on a lot of expertise in order to find the right treatment.  Not only is Dawn a friendly and warm person but she also listens which means that by the time she begins the treatment she has a good understanding of you and your body and how to put it right.

Dawn has treated me a number of times now and although it can sometimes be slightly physically painful as the muscles were so tight, the good she has done me is amazing.  The muscles have been loosened up and I am able to train effectively for longer.  At the same time a couple of postural issues have been sorted out.  Dawn is a holistic practitioner in the true sense of the word; she addresses problems affecting each individual as a whole.  I cannot thank her enough or recommend her more highly.

I was delighted to be given the opportunity to talk about my experiences with Dawn, I am equally keen to recommend her to any of my colleagues, friends or family. My experiences with Dawn are always positive and the reason I would recommend her is because she has a very good personal understanding of my needs and the therapy or combined therapies that can help my specific needs. Her knowledge is outstanding, she allows time to discuss my symptoms and look for ways to improve my well-being from a  number of different approaches.

I recently suffered hay fever for the first time in years and Dawn was able to immediately identify types of food that I was eating which were exaggerating my symptoms, I was really surprised, as I had no such knowledge before, and her advice about restricting these food types really helped me.

 Dawns Maga Technique has done so much to help me recognise, reduce and cope with my stress levels which were escalating for over a year at work. As a result I was able to take clear decisive action in the calmest way and I left that position feeling very positive and with no regret or anger. I have a new career now, where I don’t dread going into work ;)  and finally I am able to have fun again. But the best and really positive thing is should there be a situation arise that I’m struggling to deal with, and now I know the symptoms of stress, I will recognise when I need help. Dawn is very understanding of people in general, and she treats you as a person not a whole bunch of symptoms knowing I have the 'tools' to deal with stressful situations I realise the ability she has given me in a caring, kind and understanding manner which will be with me forever. Thank you Dawn

I have had a number of treatments with Dawn over the last few years starting with reflexology when I was pregnant with my second child. I had a particularly traumatic birth due to a post partum haemorrhage & was helicopter-ed to hospital so it was all a bit dramatic! Dawn has helped me tremendously, using a combination of cranial sacral therapy, massage & other healing therapies to ease the physical as well as emotional trauma. I discovered though the process that both my births had had a profound effect on my body & emotional state & Dawn has been absolutely integral to my recovery. I recommend her without reservation on a very personal as well as professional level. She really is amazing & as well as her technical expertise, she has a true gift for helping people.

Dawn just seemed to know exactly what my body wanted before she even started treating me. She has some kind of intuition that knew just what I needed, even when I didn't!’

‘Dawn is “THE REAL DEAL” -The best treatment I’ve ever had…I’m a New Yorker: And we’re FUSSY!’
Whitney, 32

‘Dawn is on my speed dial… she gives the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had (& I’m qualified myself!) & she gave me wonderful reflexology treatments in late pregnancy. She can ease any ache or pain through massage & cranio sacral therapy, plus she waxes my legs, plucks my eyebrows & has even unblocked my ears with Hopi candles… she may as well just move in! Dawn has a ‘calm’ about her that can’t be taught… she is a gem’
Wendy, 36

The best thing about Dawn is she is engaged in the continued learning of new and exciting treatments. Dawn is one of the first people to practice ‘Raindrop therapy & Vitaflex treatments’ in the UK. It is possibly the most relaxing treatment with the most amazing oils I have ever had- thanks Dawn! She always explains what I am doing wrong in my day to day life and how this is affecting my body; to have it explained thoroughly means I can make changes to stop the pain/ strain myself. She manipulates stretches and releases the tension and knots I am not aware of until she starts working on me- she has magic fingers!!
Amy, 29

Being pummelled by Dawn is amazing- I can’t believe the strength in her hands, nor the flexibility and extra movement I instantly gain in my neck and back- I feel taller when she’s finished- Fantastic. Without a shadow of doubt Dawn’s the best masseuse I’ve ever met!
Glyn

Dawn's treatments are amazing! I had reflexology & massage during pregnancy & afterwards - divine, gorgeous treatments which made me feel fabulous & sorted out anything stressed or tight... She just seemed to know what I needed! So glad she’s going to be available in London now as well!
Helen, 40

It is difficult to accurately describe or do justice to Dawn's skills. I feel she sees every layer of tension in a my body as a personal challenge to break down, release or remove however she can, she really aims to help. I’d had a  really tough few years both physically and mentally,when I first went for a massage with Dawn through a friends recommendation. And she was really very good ( its not often you get to say that if you have a regular massage!) even after one treatment I felt completely different and had so much more energy now the tension had lifted I felt happier instantly.The second time she did a variation of the first treatment which not only released old pains and tension instantly, it cleared the soup in my mind and started me on the "why not" conversation which led me to move from the UK with my wonderful partner to a hot climate and it is the BEST decision I ever made. (Thank you Dawn for playing your part, you’re a star!) And if you’re reading this with one raised eyebrow, be warned, she’s good- VERY GOOD ;)
