I look forward to my pamper session with Donna, always so in tune with what I need and I walk away feeling refreshed, devitalised, few inches taller and so relaxed. Her knowledge about the body and skin etc is equally fantastic and I love our chats 💞, the world needs Donna in a tonic I say.
The reception staff are always so helpful and polite and ready to return to work with their set of keys at a drop of a hat 😂.
My favourite Monday of a month. Thank you so much xx
Always a pleasure, very helpful and takes pride in what she does.
