Joel, Myotherapist
My job was very stressful and my muscles were screaming out for a massage. Enter SOMA and Joel. I thought I knew my body well but since seeing Joel I’ve learnt about the actual site of my pain and it’s been a revelation. Joel is very knowledgeable about the way the body works and which techniques will work best for each client. His treatments are, without a doubt, the most effective I’ve encountered.

Joel Olsen, Myotherapist

My husband and I took a private infant massage course with Joel Olsen in late 2009. There were two classes on a Saturday which meant that we could both attend. We had attempted some massage but we wanted to have an idea of whether we were doing it ‘right’ and to have some kind of structure and some additional ‘moves’. Joel gave us lots of encouragement, and the class gave us a ‘routine’ to follow and some special moves for when our daughter had wind.
Our daughter is now 5 months old and we give her a massage every night after her bath. It was amazing to me to see our daughter start to anticipate her massage and respond positively when we asked permission to massage her. Not only does she love the massage but the ‘colic’ sequence has really saved us on quite a few occasions and has stopped the crying!

Kind regards
