Reviews of Orchid Therapies

After having massages at various times, at a number of locations. both home and abroad I decided to make it a regular part of looking after myself. I looked it to the various local offerings and decided on using Liz at Orchid Therapies. One of my best decisions! I’ve now been having massages, usually about one a month, for close on five years. Liz is very professional, gives an excellent massage, and is always willing to make changes to treatments and dates should I require to make any changes.

I was introduced to Liz at Orchid Therapies earlier this year after researching reviews, treatments and location and originally as she provided treatments to carers. However, I now visit Liz on a regular basis who provides not only some treatments to me through the carers scheme, but for all of my beauty and therapy treatments. It was really important to me that I felt comfortable with the person delivering my treatment and Liz instantly put me at ease. She is exceptional in her massages, you are transformed into another place where all stress and tension just disappear. I trust Liz and because of this was brave enough to consider having some intimate waxing, although I was a little nervous, Liz once again put me at ease and I felt totally confident in her and the result was so less painful than I have experienced before with other therapists. Liz takes the time to get to know you and what you want from your treatments and it is evident that she is totally focussed on delivering the best to you. She is professional, friendly and oozes confidence and I honestly don't think I would go anywhere else now. Thanks Liz

I had some intimate waxing performed by Liz. I must admit to being more than a little nervous about this, but Liz is very professional and put me at ease as she did her duties. It was nowhere near as painful as I had been anticipating. Liz really knows her stuff and I have no problem awarding 5 stars in every category.

Having researched a number of local waxing therapists last year, I found that the Orchid Therapies web site was one of the most informative and made me feel very comfortable with starting back waxing treatment for the first time. Having been for many sessions now, I can honestly say how surprised I am at how relaxing the experience is (not what I was expecting). Then again, Liz has a thoroughly natural professional approach which I don't believe could be bettered!

Liz is a very personable and professional waxer. As a Trans Man/Woman it was important to find someone I felt very comfortable with. She made me feel very relaxed from the moment we met and is easy to talk too. The end results are great as well of course.

Liz's treatments are super-duper. My work is super charged and it's great to come away from it and chill out for an hour while she works her magic. Liz gave me a full consultation before my first treatment and always explains why certain oils are used in a massage blend, which is a nice touch. She's caring and professional and puts you at your ease. Definitely recommended.

I am very pleased to have had my wax done by Liz. Liz is a top professional who puts you at ease and makes you feel totally comfortable. Also, she is a wonderful and very friendly person to talk to. I definitely recommend you try it. Thank you Liz.

I have been visiting Liz for a nearly 3 years for leg and Underarm waxing. She is very professional and friendly and always has a great sense of humour. I always leave there in a better lighter mood than when I arrive. I would heartily recommend. 👍

I can't recommend Liz and Orchid Therapies highly enough, having searched the local area for a professional business / person for waxing treatments, Liz fits this bill perfectly. Having seen Liz half a dozen times now i can say she is very good at waxing and puts you at ease very quickly and does a top job as well as good conversation and great chats about eighties music, If your thinking about getting waxed for the first time Liz is the one to see

Liz is wonderful! This was actually the third place I tried in Bournemouth for a wax and the first place I actually felt totally comfortable at. Liz is a top professional and it really isn't easy to find a therapist you can trust. A total keeper!

A. E.

Liz at Orchid Therapies is simply outstanding! As a therapist myself I am very choosy about which therapists I would employ to help me but I'm so very pleased I chose Liz! After just one aromatherapy massage I felt so perfectly relaxed and destressed - just fantastically chilled! Thank you Liz, I can't wait for my next treatment - 5 stars!

What an experience! On top of doing a great job, Liz was warm and very welcoming. She made me feel at ease even when I was having my brazilian done! It was A LOT less painful than I thought it would be! I walked out of the treatment room feeling great! I have already booked my next appointment as Liz gets quite busy! BTW I had full legs and brazilian waxing done!

Saw Liz this afternoon for a back wax in advance of starting a major back tattoo in London next week. She was clar about the process, what was involved and how to look after my back after the process. The facilities were clean, safe and ideal for the treatment. Costs were very reasonable and I would highly recommend Liz and Orchid Therapies

What a wonderful therapist. Liz was welcoming and friendly and made me feel very relaxed and at ease for my waxing, didn't hurt at all. Thanks Liz see you again soon.

It was a very nice afternoon at orchid therapy, I had a full leg and Brazilian wax and I didn't feel any pain at all, really good quality wax used and Liz was just amazing, such a high qualified beautitian. I will definitively coming back

Although I had had an “intimate waxing” once before – a rather different experience six years ago in Thailand, and one that deserves a story in itself – I was still a touch hesitant about having it done again. And indeed, why have it done again? Well, a new woman in my life, who lives some distance away meaning our trysts are regular but not frequent, told me she was going to me waxed. She asked me whether I wanted her to have a Brazilian or a Hollywood. Not often, well, never, having been asked this I suggested she had the South American version. I then thought that it might be quite fun to er… surprise her by having a waxing. A Google search followed and up popped Orchid Therapies in the no. 2 slot for the area. I did look at the top one, but, well, it didn’t seem my cup of tea. Orchid Therapies offers not only male and female waxings, but a whole host of holistic and other therapies. At the risk of sounding a bit of a New-Ager (I’m a former Army Officer and pretty down to earth), I felt a good buzz from the website. The wording on and impression from Liz William’s website is about the person, not about the image. It’s about wellbeing, the therapeutic side, the healing side, Reiki and all that jazz, and although I was planning to have the hair ripped from my crown jewels, this was important. I left a garbled and vaguely nervous-sounding voicemail for her, she replied with a text, asked me a couple of questions and bingo! a cancellation the next day meant I could pop along. In through the entrance of the Fitness First centre at Queen’s Park, first door on the left. I found Orchid Therapies a pleasing, soothing world away from the Lycra, fake tans and smartphone nonsense of the gym outside. Gentle, calming music of the plinkety-plonk spa type, subtle scents from an aromatherapy “Aromastone” and a warm welcome from Liz, a professionally trained complementary and beauty therapist. I felt quite relaxed and at home, despite knowing I was about to get half naked and experience a degree of pain. No getting away from it, it does hurt, but as Liz reminded me, regular waxing does reduce the amount of hair growth and so appointments every four-to-six weeks will help. A quick questionnaire, then I was ushered in to the therapy – I won’t use the word “treatment”; far too clinical – room. Liz went out, giving me a few mins to disrobe, freshen up and wonder what I was doing there. “And why do you want a waxing?” she asked in a genuinely interested way as the modesty towel was removed. “Ah, I have met a woman and…” See the second paragraph above. It is a very intimate experience and Liz was as good at removing my nerves as she was my hair. It was, despite me being er… rather hirsute, not as painful as I imagined or remembered. Liz and I chatted away 10 to the dozen. For minutes at a time, I quite forgot that I was ahem on all fours or holding various parts of my anatomy for her to apply hot wax around or to before pulling it off. I think she’d agree that my voice was generally quite level throughout and that I did not scream. Yelps perhaps, but no screams…. Had I screamed, though, Liz has a ready supply of lollipops to keep us chaps quiet. That’s customer service…. Will I go back? Undoubtedly. The woman in my life likes the results, and so do I. I may even go back for one of the other treatments, such as a holistic massage or Reiki. Ten out of 10 for Liz’s customer service, results, value and aftercare. Highly recommended.

I booked my Mum in for a treat with Liz after a longhaul flight. I dont think I have seen Mum 'float' so much in a long time. Liz tailored the package brilliantly to Mums needs, Mum found the aromatherapy massage very relaxing and the Indian head massage relieved lots of tension. I have got to say an added bonus was the wonderful aroma of the oils Liz used when I collected Mum. Thanks Liz, you made my idea into a wonderful gift for Mum.

I've been to Orchid Therapies a number of times for waxing and massage. Liz is very professional as well as open and friendly. I will continue to go to Orchid Therapies, the products used are of a high quality and it's always a pleasure to go there.

N. D.

One of the best therapists I have visited. Liz is very professional and friendly, and makes you feel welcome and relaxed. Left feeling amazing, so definitely going back.

P. A.

Liz is just great! I have been a regular customer for back waxing since 2017. She is always friendly, professional and the facilities are very clean. Also, the music is great...

I've been receiving complementary therapies from Liz from Orchid Therapies for a couple of years now and find it to be a great stress reliever. I suffer from tight tense muscles in my neck and shoulders and after an aromatherapy or indian head massage I come away feeling relaxed, de-stressed and more importantly no pain in my neck and shoulders. Have also experienced Reiki which is very relaxing and felt that my body was rebalanced. Liz is an excellent complementary therapist and would wholly recommend her to anyone as there are alot of conditions that she can treat with her therapies, Melissa Parker

As a business owner, I have to tell you that Liz was such a pleasure to work with - she's capable, energetic, fun to be with, well-connected and astute. I like the way she can see through to the heart of any problem we encountered without ever becoming grim about it - everything was always countered with a smile and some more energy, dredged from goodness-knows-where. I don't know how she does it!

N. H.

It was my first time visiting Liz, I was amazed how good and nice Liz is at her job. Highly recommend Liz and will be going to visit her for treatments in the future.

I felt at ease with liz, especially after a previous bad experience. She talked through everything to ensure I was comfortable. Compared to previous waxes I've had it was quicker a lot less painfull and I felt back to normal the following day. Would go back again especially if going on holidays.

V. P.

Wonderful manicure and pedicure - certainly lifted the January blues! Great hand massage and love the lotions! Thank you Liz. xx

Excellent and professional service always.. I've been going for nearly a year now and I'd recommend Liz to anyone.. Was worried it would hurt too much but I was pleasantly surprised.. I do find myself screaming out loud for the pain to stop occasionally though, but that's solely to do with the "singing"..!!!!!
