“Having suffered from many sports related injuries for most of my adult life, I had previously always relied on physiotherapy as a way of attempting to resolve the pain and discomfort from them. Physio would work short term, but the injury would reoccur not long after. A friend of mine who was already seeing Lorna suggested I try Amatsu.

I will be forever grateful that she did, as after the first session I felt the most relaxed and mobile I have ever felt. Lorna is an incredibly gifted and intuitive practitioner, and has resolved the back and hip injury issues and made me feel balanced again. Having been used to traditional methods of healing, I was not expecting the more spiritual elements of the practice and the way in which Lorna can ‘read’ your body, knowing where physical or any emotional pain was being held, and working with energy to release this. It has been a truly profound experience and life changing on a number of levels.

I would not hesitate in recommending Lorna to anyone, in particular those that have struggled with traditional therapies and have not been getting the results they would hope for. It is a totally different way of working, so go with an open mind, no preconceptions and enjoy the experience. ”

“I have lived with nerve pain in my leg and foot for over a year now. It came as a surprise after a spine and pelvic injury from several years ago resurfaced in the form of nerve pain in my foot and leg. I saw physios and spinal surgeons who told me there was nothing that could be done for me. Part of me believed them, thinking it was too late to help myself, and part of me didn’t believe that was true. It was at this point that I started Amatsu therapy with Lorna. When I first started Amatsu, I was still seeking an instant solution to my injury. My journey with Amatsu took time. It didn’t give me immediate relief from the pain, but looking back now over my year with Amatsu, I can’t believe how far my body has come. My quality of life has improved massively. Amatsu has without doubt reduced the pain I am in. More unexpectedly, my relationship with my body has changed; I appreciate it so much more and understand that our bodies are more complex than we give them credit for. I would recommend Amatsu to anyone who feels that their needs have been disregarded, or who feels dissatisfied by mainstream treatment on a physical injury, and anyone who is open to a holistic approach of treating their mind and body. ”

“I had been suffering extreme middle back pain for several months. I had been in hospital for six days because the pain was so bad but they could not figure out what was wrong with me. I subsequently had every imaginable test – x-rays, three MRI’s, CT scans, bone scans, and saw every type of specialist available but no doctor could figure out what was causing the acute pain that I was in. I was told that I would need to “learn to live with the pain”. However, I knew this was not an option. I couldn’t work, I couldn’t move, I couldn’t enjoy my daily life. I became quite depressed and was always anxious. I couldn’t sleep because of the pain and I was on all types of painkillers, none of which worked. I had tried physiotherapy but the physio ended up telling me not to come back because he couldn’t help me! I honestly felt that there was no end in sight and that this extreme pain was going to be for the rest of my life.

I had never even heard of Amatsu and was quite nervous to try it, but the care Lorna showed even before I had my appointment was so reassuring.

After one session I could already feel the difference! I went home and slept properly for the first time in months, and I was also pain free for the first time since I could remember. I couldn’t believe how quickly it had worked but I was just so relieved. I have been getting significantly better since that first session and now – two months later – I only have to go monthly and have not had that severe back pain since! My mood and my sleeping has also improved significantly. I recommend Amatsu to everyone I speak to with back pain (although I would unequivocally recommend it to anyone with any pain) & I cannot thank or speak highly enough of Lorna. She really has changed my life and given me back freedom to move and feel joy!”

“I have had a chronic ankle problem for about 40 years which worsened through the early months of last year. I turned to physiotherapy and acupuncture but neither seemed to give any lasting improvement. I met Lorna and she suggested that I look into Amatsu. I did and liked what I read and decided to give it a try. I started with weekly sessions at Lorna’s very comfortable Dulwich base. The first few weeks it seemed as if I was going backwards with more weakness and pain after most sessions, although this would only last for a day or so. Despite the weakness that presented I was also starting to be able to do more activity without getting pain during or afterwards. Within a couple of months I had moved to less frequent sessions and improvements continued to accrue. I am now seeing Lorna every couple of months and am able to be significantly more active including hiking, cycling and playing padel. I had hoped that Amatsu might give me some relief but the benefit that it has given me is far greater than I could have dreamt of. Lorna is a very compassionate and professional therapist and I would have no hesitation in recommending her Amatsu therapy.”

“I have suffered with severe back pain for many years. I have tried so many therapies with no successful outcome which led me to feeling very down and depressed. I couldn’t do daily activities with my family. After the first appointment, I left feeling confused as it was so gentle. I wondered how this could help. Since then, I have seen Lorna 6 times and I have little or no back pain and can do the activities I love. I also wake up with more energy and my mood has lifted. I would recommend Lorna to anyone in pain. The results for me have been fantastic. ”

“I was referred to Lorna from a highly skilled and respected therapist in the wellness field for a neck injury that had not healed properly over the 3 years since it was incurred. I was hunched over and experiencing neurological pain, and a general feeling of low self esteem and of being ‘heavy’ and ‘sunken’.

Over the years I have been to chiropractors, osteopaths, Chinese medicine practitioners, physiotherapists, but all have paled in comparison to the level of skill that Lorna has demonstrated to me - in the 2 sessions that I have been able to meet with her in person (along with a profound distance energy healing experience), she has completely been able to ‘fix’ the issues that I was having with my neck. In one session I was completely uplifted and left the session standing up straight, but not only straight, but truly integrated and strong. My emotions were completely uplifted and over the course of the next week I continued to experience continued feelings of levity and raised self esteem and love for myself that I had not experieced in a long time. “I’m must be doing something wrong” I would have previously thought. But after 2 sessions was extremely clear that some things are held energetically within us, and that approaching them at this level effects the entire system at a visceral and emotional level. Not only all of this, but my experience of Lorna is that she exudes a deep love as a healer that I have yet to have come across in another person, she is extremely gifted and compassionate in her approach. In the short time that I have spent with Lorna, I have healed first, physically, then mentally and emotionally.

The deep wisdom that I have learned just from spending time with Lorna has provided me with guidance as to approaching my relationship with my body, and has empowered me deeply in moving forward towards a more self-sustaining health that is anchored in honest communication and reverence for intelligence of my own body.

I am extremely grateful for the time that I have spent with Lorna and honestly can say that anyone that Lorna works with is going to be deeply rewarded by the experience of working with a true healer and highly skilled therapist.”

“I had tried a number of treatments for lower back pain and had got to a point where nothing was really working and my back was continually crooked when Amatsu was recommended to me. The sessions are incredibly relaxing, unlike other therapies I have tried. Initially, I went weekly for 6 weeks to really get my back in shape and was feeling the benefit massively after 2 sessions. Lorna is superb at getting to the root of a problem. ”

“I started Amatsu after a recommendation from a friend who had seen fantastic results. Having broken my ankle badly 4 years before, I was finding myself limping and the ‘good’ leg was beginning to be quite painful in the hip and knee.

After the first session, I felt good, but found the effects wore off relatively quickly, possibly after about 24 hours. However, all of a sudden, after my 5th session, there was a step change. I was managing 2-3 weeks between sessions and never getting the intensity of pain in the hip and knee. I wasn’t limping anymore and felt altogether more balanced in my posture.

Another impact was that in chatting to Lorna as she worked on me, I reconnected with all the messages I’d had from physio and doctors over the years, and realised I had slipped into bad choices. And to me, this defines what the holistic approach really means- a broad perspective considering all of the things that might be done to improve the injury. Amatsu with Lorna gave me this wider view that I just wasn’t reaching on my own, and I am very grateful for all her work with me as these days I am as mobile as I have been in the whole 5 years since my injury. ”

“I’ve had back problems for almost 20 years. Discs in my lower back that herniate easily and muscle in this area that has a tendency to lock up. During this time I have followed the traditional treatment methods with physiotherapy, nerve root blocks and operations on the discs. None of this has allowed me to find long term stability and balance with my body.

In 2021 I was forced to undergo another operation followed by the typical sessions of physiotherapy. By early 2022 I was finding that my lower back was feeling blocked again and sitting was becoming a problem. I decided to check some alternative treatments and a friend recommended Amatsu and Lorna in particular.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the treatment at first. I was just hoping for any relief from lower back pain. After having a block of weekly sessions I found that the treatment in combination with my physio routine helped me regain my back stability quickly. I was pleased to experience a significant reduction in pain to the point it was barely noticeable. I have found each session to be quite relaxing. It helps to loosen and reset my body allowing me to move more freely again. Lorna has also recommended some additional routines to add to my treatment plan. Things like breathing techniques and cold water treatments that I was surprised were so effective.

If you have regular problems/pain with your body and have found the traditional treatment methods unable to help, then I recommend exploring Amatsu with Lorna and looking at combining it into your treatment plan. ”

“I had been suffering from lower back pain for about 18 months before seeing Lorna. It could be extremely painful and I was unable to play football. I would be in discomfort most of the time which affected everything from walking to sitting at a desk.

I’d tried physio, osteopathy and acupuncture (none of which worked for me) before being recommended to Lorna by a friend.

Six months after my first treatment with Lorna I feel so much better. I’ve returned to football and move around with a lot more freedom. I still have occasional stiffness in my lower back but the difference is amazing. Although I went to see Lorna about my back, she’s also worked wonders on my right knee - quite often after walking a mile or two my knee would ache and feel weak but I hardly notice it these days.

I would have no hesitation recommending Lorna to friends and family.”

“I had been suffering from intense pain in my jaw. I had been to doctors and specialists and was facing the idea of taking pain management medication long term to alleviate the symptoms of the problem but there seemed little advice or help as to the treatment of the cause.

When I found Lorna, through a personal recommendation, she not only relieved the pain but there were benefits for my whole body. Lorna was incredibly kind and helpful, she was always extremely focused in our sessions. She listened and asked lots of questions to understand my situation which meant that in turn I could understand more about the causes of my pain, which was liberating. I am now pain free and more aware of the underlying causes of the problem.”

“I had been suffering from severe headaches and pains in my neck on an almost daily basis for several months and had found no suitable remedy from doctors and a neurologist. Lorna was recommended to me and after seeing her for six sessions, to my great relief, I have not had a severe headache for the last three months.I now see Lorna monthly for maintenance sessions. Lorna is friendly, professional and, most importantly, effective and I find my sessions extremely relaxing.”

“I’ve had rather uneven, sore shoulders for many many years, with my right shoulder blade often sticking out rather awkwardly. After each session of Amatsu with Lorna it felt looser and looser and we could see it visibly start to move back to where it should be. Quite amazing! I always left the room feeling like a different person. All of my stress and tension from the day disappeared and I left calm and refreshed. Apart from the physical improvements Amatsu provides, I would also recommend it as a general feel-good tonic.’”

“For six months, I was suffering from pain in my right knee. I found it hard to sit in certain positions and would have serious discomfort when exercising. I had tried to ignore the pain but my right hip started to hurt in a similar way and I knew something would have to be done.

My friend recommended I try a few sessions of Amatsu. Lorna is a great ambassador for Amatsu; she is passionate about the therapy and she can explain the treatments and benefits in simple terms, making her confidence rub off on those she treats. Lorna made me feel comfortable immediately. She spoke to me at length, asking questions about my health and lifestyle. She explained how the treatments would be done and made it clear that I could ask her questions about what she was doing during the treatment. After an initial three sessions, I felt good improvement in both my hip and knee and also found an added benefit was a more effective digestive system. After six sessions, the movement in my knee and hip was dramatically better and I will now only need occasional top-up sessions. I highly recommend Amatsu and Lorna as a practitioner for anyone who feels muscular or joint pain and I know there are many other issues she can help treat.”

“I found Lorna by chance on social media and contacted her. I have had Amatsu before and found it of great benefit, healing past trauma. I was keen to have a treatment again but my practitioner has retired.
It was during lockdown so it felt normal to use Zoom to meet Lorna, although I was wondering how on earth a hands-on treatment would work remotely. I remained open to the idea and was amazed at how even from the distance, me being in the North of England and Lorna in London, her healing energy reached me and made a huge shift in me. I am happy that I came across Lorna and to know that this work is possible even from a distance.”
