“I'm not really a Spa "goer" one of the reasons is the Menus of services was confusing to me if not viewed by me as sheer nonsense. In addition the few times I did go, having been given a gift certificate or out of boredom, had left me with two or more days of soreness. Pearl Howie in her new book has explains the Menu with a clear and concise index and also gives suggestions on what Treatment may suit your particular needs. With a background in health and wellness and how exercise affects the body Ms. Howie is well suited to this task. She has written a thoughtful, frank and informative book that is also a very enjoyable read. It's so much more than just Spa listings. You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures.”

“I loved the book. I think every reader will have the feeling of oh yes she understands the way I feel about massage and spas & yoga. That is your gift , everyone has the feeling you're talking to them. I sat down to read a little bit at 10am it’s now almost 3pm I did take  a small lunch break.”

“Just wanted to say a HUGE thankyou. I have just read your book on being a kidney donor to your brother- found it very informative (they don't tell you all that in the hospital!) and funny too- couldn’t help sniggering at some bits!” - P

“Having read your book this morning on-line, you have given me so much hope and the reason to keep going now.

“Everything To Dance For is great!  It makes me want to dance right along with it.  The joy of the cast and crew comes shining through.  It's also a voice of encouragement for those who believe success is impossible.”

“I love that you tell us where the best free loos are - this is priceless information that your average guidebook wouldn't give...”

“Just wanted to say thank you for the lovely reiki... Not sure how much it affected the (original injury) but I actually had sex last night for the first time in MONTHS and feel much better for it (as does my husband I am SURE)... so whatever you did it was wonderful!”   Name provided

“I absolutely love you for introducing me to this.

If I had to take one thing to heaven this would be it.

My feet feel softer than they even have after the chiropodist!”

“My face felt smoother afterwards.”

“Before: The initial heat element feels very soothing but I’ve had it on for over 12 minutes now and I’ve forgotten it’s on there.  I could quite easily go shopping like this.  It doesn’t pull your face like most other face packs which I hate.  Yes I like.

After: My skin feels so moist and supple.”

“I’m a bit nervous about things that are hot but that was okay for me.  And my skin is really smooth.”
