Reviews of Dawn Symons - Maga Therapy

I tend to not tell therapists I did beauty for 12 years as it can make people feel awkward but its also helpful to have a more indepth view on a review. From my experience with Dawn... she is amazing and makes you comfortable as soon as you are greeted. Her room, her aura and personality to her technique is unique and just a little slice of perfection! She is welcoming, open and friendly while maintaining professionalism. I had the relax and restore massage which included meditation and a foot/head massage, the massage itself was a firm pressure which I prefer, dawn used a beautiful smelling oil that was neither heavy in texture or fragrance, just enough to add to the ambience. Dawn has made an environment where i felt open enough that if I wanted to change the pressure I was able to speak up and not just kind of "go through the motions" I've had numerous massages and separate meditations in my time and the combination was a winner! I highly recommend Dawn, even if you want an introduction to meditation or you're feeling the stress of life/work give Dawn a go. You won't be disappointed!

Dawn is an AMAZING therapist! She has totally sorted my shoulders out - I have been carrying tension for years and what she did released something which meant my overall posture has improved. I can not recommend Dawn highly enough. Don’t go anywhere else! I have had so many poor massages in Cornwall - I wish I’d found her years ago. Thank you Dawn you lovely human x

Here’s the headline - AMAZING Action to take - don’t hesitate - book THE DETAIL Dawn - calm, warm, funny, thoughtful, intuitive, prepared, strong!, caring, professional, skilled Location - quirky, creative, labyrinth at the Old Bakery Studios. Parking limited. The cost- not cheap but you’re worth it The treatment I had - one and a half hours of focussed rolling, kneading, pulling, stretching, rehabilitating, reconstructing, muscle probing, fault finding, referred pain site locating and intuitive and uncanny manipulation. This was not for the faint hearted or those with a low pain threshold. But, I am sure that Dawn works with each person individually and tailors her approach accordingly. Dawn also gave take away exercises to follow up. THE OUTCOME Well, it’s only the next morning but less pain and restricted movement when I got out of bed. Standing straighter and moving more freely with much less acute pain at the mo. OTHER INFO Loved the walking sticks that dad made. Love the spoiler on the car!! Love the book and look forward to the next one. Love the beam peace symbol. THE VERDICT An unequivocal 👍👍👍from me.

Met Dawn yesterday for the first time, as I thought her ethos and method, explained in detail on her website, was really impressive. Just want to confirm what a number of other reviewers have done already - Dawn clearly has a deep knowledge of her craft and gave me both an assessment of things I am trying to change in my physique and some tools for assisting with that, and a very effective treatment from the muscle pain I was experiencing which motivated my appointment. Really thoroughly recommended.

T. L.

Amazing is an understatement to describe Dawn's abilities! I visited her with excruciating pain in my back and sciatica, what she has achieved in just two sessions is beyond belief, almost pain free and much improved flexibility. Treatment ongoing but I absolutely recommend her treatment as superb.

S. T.

Great treatment and a relaxing massage that helpede overcome my siatica pain. Dawn also gave me a personal exercise plan that I could do at home that can help my ability to wLj. Formerly I walked on a crutch now I am walking upright unaided thanks to Dawn's therapy. Excellent service. ❤️

K. J.

Had a great experience during a sports massage! I feel like I came out with more knowledge about my body and also how to better look after it myself using advice she gave me. I would definitely recommend!

W. W.

Dawn provides a professional but relaxed atmosphere. Fantastic massage, managed my fastest mile swim the following day, my shoulders felt relaxed, my muscles no longer tight and my mind felt calm. Dawn is a holistic practitioner who is skilled at the service she provides. I will be back very soon 🙂

K. S.

Incredible massage, thorough and very knowledgeable. Most definitely recommend! Thank you Dawn :-)

I visited dawn a few months ago (sorry for the delay in leaving this review!) and she really is one of the most incredible humans I’ve met! I suffer with severe anxiety, and have never had a massage or anything like that before. Dawn instantly put me at ease, made me feel so comfortable and honestly I didn’t want to leave. Dawn is a wonderful lady, she explained every step of what she was doing and the effect it has on your body and mind. She was full of amazing advice and genuinely wanted to help me feel better physically and mentally. The massage itself was incredible - I felt like I was taller when I stood up! I left feeling pampered, comfortable and like a new person. I’d definitely recommend Dawn to anyone, and if you’re reading the reviews because you’re super anxious (like I was!) go for it - you honestly won’t regret it :) Thank you Dawn! X

Update August 2020: When I first met Dawn we discussed the best therapy to support a whole range of concerns but especially fertiliy. After 6 weeks of consecutive sessions with Dawn we had the amazing news we had been working towards for over 5 years, not only was I pregnant but with twins which were born last week! As soon as I am able, I shall be asking Dawn to fit me in for appointments again but this time for post birth support. Amazing massage therapy! I left my first and second sessions feeling like a new person. I have had lots of issues with migraines and headaches but initially went for help with a painful back and shoulder. Dawn talks through everything with you and is very quick to get to work on the problematic areas. I’ve already booked two more sessions and would highly recommend Dawn as a therapist who is caring and professional.

E. S.

Had an amazing Maga Therapy session with Dawn. She is wonderful to talk to - such a grounding and lovely presence and brilliant at what she does! Would recommend to anyone seeking physical or emotional healing: I came out of the session feeling refreshed and hopeful and I definitely intend to return for more bodywork sessions in the future.

C. J.

I went to Dawn with ongoing back and neck pain which has been caused by desk work and two young toddlers who like to be picked up and carried. Within minutes Dawn had pinpointed the source of the pain and got to work! She has magic hands! I left feeling brand new. Such an awesome find and I would highly recommend to anyone that needs to destress and release tension.

A. F.

I’ve been to Dawn many times, whenever I’m down in Cornwall, as it is always both rejuvenating and relaxing. I tend to leave Dawn to decide what’s best as she’s so experienced and has a natural ability to know what’s needed from her years of experience and knowledge of so many techniques and approaches both physical and mental. Wonderful!

I. W.

Dawn is amazing! I've had deep tissue massage as treat for back pain and headaches and Dawn has worked wonders. After my first treatment my headaches had almost completely gone, and the muscle tightness and pain in my back and shoulders has improved dramatically. Dawn made me feel completely comfortable straight away, and after my treatment gave me advice to help maintain my back health. I'd recommend Dawn to anyone who feels they might benefit from some bodywork, she's incredible!

S. F.

I’ve seen dawn for a pregnancy massage and reflexology, and have found these treatments with her to be of great benefit to relive my aches and tensions. Dawn is such a lovely warm person and was really good to talk to whilst having the treatments. Thank you dawn I’ll be back again soon :)

J. G.

Dawn is a truly phenomenal therapist, I cannot recommend highly enough. I’ve been coming to Dawn for deep tissue massage over the last year to treat back pain from poor posture and long hours at a desk. Every massage leaves me feeling restored and ‘myself’ again, with improved posture and that wonderful post-massage ache from the deep pressure. Each session is tailored to ease problem areas and any changes since the last treatment. We’re all worried about Covid, however Dawn’s studio feels safe, clean and welcoming (even the hand sanitizer smells lovely!)

J. W.

I've been an osteopath in Cornwall for over 30 years and in recent years, I have sent several of my patients to Dawn for her expert care. I have always received excellent feedback and today I found out why! Her knowledge, experience and skill base are second to none and the ankle injury that I've had for the last 6 months is feeling significantly eased. A true, caring professional and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Dawn.

Was feeling rather tense in advance of an early induction for my pregnancy and saw Dawn was trained in pregnancy massage. Dawn did a really good job, clearly knew what she was doing and eased out all the tension using the perfect amount of pressure for me. She also offered lots of reassurance for the big day! Most helpful. I've had a number of massages in the past and this has definitely been the best to date. My only regret is I did not book longer and I will certainly be using Dawn again

i was apprehensive at first to attend my appointment due to the corona virus, particularly because i am at a moderate high risk but i was in a lot of discomfort. Dawn was professional, caring and attentive to my concerns and put me at ease by explaining everything that she was doing to keep her clients safe and herself and what i should expect when arriving for my appointment. As i am a dental nurse and decontamination lead i was very impressed by all that she was doing prior, during and after my appointment.i felt very confident and safe the whole time, she really is going above and beyond. Dawn has been helping to relieve pain in my lower back and shoulders and she is very intuitive to where my pain is and what is causing it. she has been giving me exercises to do at home to improve my posture and alleviate any pain and tensions. i highly recommend her.

A. W.

I went to see Dawn on a bit of a whim due to a really sore shoulder and no idea really what to do about it. She was truly amazing. Her massage has given me so much pain relief and I feel so much lighter and much freer than I've felt i ages. She really knows what's she's doing! I highly recommend.

E. D.

I had the most powerful treatments with Dawn. A truly gifted phenomenal healer Dawn works with such body wisdom It’s quite exceptional Her intuition helped me break down my barriers of emotional resistance A diamond healer As soon as I arrived I knew I was safe, emotional held and cared for beyond words Thankyou Dawn

s. s.

Another fantastic treatment from Dawn. Her new therapy room is spacious and light and the space is clean and inviting. Dawn is highly skilled and the massage helped my body rebalance and realign. I will be booking another session soon.

D. C.

I cannot recommend highly enough. I'm a runner and I first went to Dawn having seen some physios who could not fix my knee issue. Dawn has a superb, comprehensive level of knowledge and was able to correct my knee but also help with the underlying, bio-mechanical problem. She provided me with a tailored exercise programme which has helped me go from middle distance running to running ultra-marathons. Dawn is not only very skilled but also very personable and friendly.

k. p.

I couldn't rate Dawn more highly, she is a kind, knowledgeable and highly skilled professional lady with an amazing zest and passion for what she does. I suffer from lifelong complex trauma and accompanying physical issues. Her lovely warm, airy room made me feel at ease the moment I walked in as did as her lovely caring persona. As well as treating my physically she packed in SO much good advice which I can use ongoingly to help me heal that I walked out with a tremendously better back, a renewed hope for my future and a smile on my face. I will be back most definitely very soon :)

J. B.

Dawn is a miracle worker! After 6 months of Chiro on my back i thought it was never going to get better. A friend put me in touch with Dawn and After just 3 sessions I felt brand new! Not only did Dawn free up my lower back and make me feel back to normal, talking to her really changed my way of thinking towards looking after my back. We are genuinely blessed to have Dawn here in Cornwall! My mums been off work for 6 weeks with a bad back, and now after 1 sessions she's back at work! Session 2 tomorrow! If you have any aches and pains you think you're stuck with You must go and see Dawn! You'll be so glad you did!

S. M.

Dawn is an exceptional massage therapist. She has a great knowledge of how the body functions. Using good pressure (which not all therapists are able to do), she adapts various massage techniques to help you heal. I highly recommend her. Thanks Dawn...looking forward to seeing you again xx Sandrine Lee

D. C.

Dawn is a fantastic practitioner. As a keen player of sports (to excess) I’ve long searched for someone who really understands massage therapies (& particularly deep tissue massage). Everytime I see Dawn, she massively helps with my aches & pains, but has also helped me to resolve longstanding issues restricting flexibility. I work in orthopaedics, & have a high threshold for recommending alternate therapies- however I can fully recommend Dawn... thanks! Dr Crocker

I visited Dawn when I was approx 32 weeks pregnant and was getting quite achy and stiff. I felt immediately calm and at ease and Dawn gave a gentle but powerful massage. I can believe that she can give very deep massages but obviously not suitable for me. However, if you were looking for a sports massage I think she would be the lady for you! I felt very relaxed and uplifted after my massage and immediately noticed how easily I could put my socks and shoes on afterwards! The effects of the massage lasted several days and I definitely felt better movement and less achy and stiff. As Dawn informed me I would, I found I drank A LOT of water afterwards which is always the sign of a good massage. I'd love to have one every week if I could! Highly recommended for pregnancy or any other sort of massage.

A. H.

Dawn is excellent and intuitive at what she does, the Maga session made a massive difference to the muscle spasm in my neck and shoulder. I walked out of there feeling like a new person. I would recommend it to anyone especially if you have any chronic muscle spasms. I have never really had massage prior to this an it was an eye opener to what can be achieved by a skilled practitioner.

I have just had another reappointment with Dawn since she has been able to re-open. I was a little apprehensive following all the concerns with Covid, however Dawn put my mind at rest from first contact. She clearly explained the new processes and requirements. She is now treating in a new room (in the same building), it was comfortable, clean and welcoming. The whole environment was very clean and well prepared so I have no concerns about booking my next treatment!

M. M.

Brilliant! Dawn applies all her skill, knowledge, experience and intuition to every massage session. She can find the problem areas quickly and uses great pressure & technique to relieve tense and knotted muscles. Dawn has an upbeat, chatty personality to leave you feeling relaxed yet energised.

F. A.

Dawn is an awesome therapist, did great work on my site claves and provided me with stretching exercises to help deal with them going forward

Q. C.

Excellent deep tissue massage. Dawn has extensive knowledge and experience. She is thorough and strong enough to not only find any body issues you may have, but also to help sort them out! If you are looking for deep tissue, therapeutic or sports massage, stop looking right now, you won't find anyone better than this. Call Dawn right now!

Dawn has worked wonders on injuries I've been struggling with. She's also been able to pinpoint areas I have problems with but never really paid much attention to. After an initial assessment, she got to work and broke down all those areas I'd ignored for years. It's pretty intense but so worth it! I felt an immediate improvement the next day and the day after that, it was even better (you do feel a little sore for the first 24 hours). I followed up with another treatment the next week and it was much easier to work through. I'm now dedicated to regular sessions, the difference was that vast. I can't recommend her enough.

A. H.

Had a deep tissue massage as had severe shoulder pain, along with neck pain. Dawn found i had a BIG stubborn knott and used her magic and after my massage i hadn't had pain or ache for the last 3 months, she even gave me exercises to do to ease and stretch the muscles. Highly recommended. Massive thank you. :)

M. M.

Dawn is magical. I had been walking around with pain and didn’t even know it. She gave me great exercises to do on my own to keep going on the work she did. I felt like a new person walking away. It’s rare to find someone that can tune into your body and without you having to tell them, figure out where you need healing.

O. B. S.

Dawn is an expert in her field, the number of people coming in to 'get Dawned' who comment that they haven't been so pain free after a massage with her is truly wonderful to see. Keep up the good work Dawn!

F. J.

Such a warm and wonderful reiki session, Dawn completely understood and helped me hugely with my back pain in just one session! Very knowledgeable and gave me some exercises to help keep my future well being. Would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Dawn xx

G. W.

It's amazing what Dawn can do in just 30mins! I left feeling lighter, relaxed and I honestly haven't felt so free in years. I will be re-booking for a 60min next time :)

p. b.

I would like to thank Dawn for doing a great job on my on my back for which was not in good condition. After a couple of visits and now 10 months later my back feels great. I would really recommend to anyone with back issues to see Dawn. Thank you Dawn.

K. W.

No matter what state I turn up to see Dawn in, she never fails to quickly understand what's going on, what's caused any pain I'm in and to fix me with her magic fingers. It's not just a quick fix either - I suffered with hip pain for 10 years... all gone in one session and it's never returned. She's a healing marvel.

A. W.

My breakthru session! I’ve been REALLY suffering with rotator cuff injury, neck pain and TMJ since before Christmas.. Four recent sessions with the chiropractor and sports massage with Dawn had helped but today was 'the day". Today, Dawn used a combination of massage, stretches, crainal sacral therapy and accupressure to release my jaw, reduce the pain and tension in my neck, as well as my rotator cuff and shoulders/ arms, finishing off with reiki - this lady never fails to amaze me with how incredible she is. She always spends her time working out how to help repair what’s wrong.. Her treatments are relaxing but also intense enough to feel the benefits..

P. M.

Wow! I’ve suffered with numerous pains and headaches for years. Having gone through physiotherapy and acupuncture to no avail I thought I would try the Maga Therapy. It’s been incredible and I’ve even even grown a couple of cm where my posture had been so bad. Haven’t felt this good for such a long time. Thank you Dawn!

C. K.

Dawn is an excellent massuse. Her wealth of knowledge shines through and I know several people who's sports and back injuries have been helped by her services.
