When it comes to massage, you can end up paying a pound per pound (and be left feeling broke in more ways than one).

Fancy a slightly softer approach? Sarah Elcome of Amma Therapy offers different strokes. The talented masseuse is gentle yet firm; her deep, low-pressure techniques restore and relax both the body and mind in a calm, hypnotic way.

She will travel to any address in Central London seven days a week to perform massage and reflexology as well as give Pilates and yoga instruction.

Elcome’s USP — across all treatments — is her instinct: she knows what’s going on with you even if you don’t. In other words, she’ll mend rather than break you.

Making her worth her weight in gold.
