Alison was a miracle worker in reducing the swelling in my legs through lymphatic drainage. She put me at ease and ensured that I was comfortable and relaxed. It was the best 1 hour of my week.
I travelled from Umhlanga to Westville each week just to see Alison.
She is an absolute miracle worker.
Alison is fantastic. She is a great listener and very engaging. Her treatments have helped me so much after surgery and radiation for breast cancer. I would highly recommend her.
The journey that I have been on with Alison has been lifesaving.
From the mental wellness to the dietary advice to the hands-on synergistic massage treatments, I have been changed physically, mentally and emotionally.
Value for money is what you get, there is no doubt about it.
I would recommend Alison to anyone who feels out of sorts, Alison’s knowledge will help you find a way back to health.
Alison is the best in the game. Being a healthcare worker myself, knowing so much about the body, it was comforting knowing that I was in good hands during my pregnancy with someone whose knowledge and skill set is so vast. Thank you for taking such good care of me through this journey and being such an integral part of it
Truly wouldn’t have managed without you
Coming back post-partum for treatments curated by you was game changing. Helping me feel better, move better, aid in my overall bodily functions and enabling me to be more energetic during the day !
You’re the best !!
I cannot recommend Alison enough. What started as treatment for pain and tension has become such an important part of (the start of) my healing journey- physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Alison’s care, intuition, professionalism, and genuine compassion create’s such a safe and calming space. Every session leaves me feeling lighter, stronger, more aligned, more connected back to myself.
Healing is never instant, but having someone so dedicated, knowledgeable, and invested in your wellbeing makes all the difference. Alison cares, she is intuitive, she very quickly becomes someone you can open up to, relax into, there is no judgement, just love. I’m incredibly grateful for the healing that’s already happened and the continued healing still unfolding. Truly gifted hands and heart and a beautiful soul. Thank you for encouraging me to allow myself this time, in your beautiful space, with your wonderful and loving guidance. 🤍
Truly incredible service. Alison is very talented and knowledgeable in her work, she is also incredibly friendly and welcoming, I always feel very comfortable when there.
First time I’ve ever felt and seen the results of proper Lymphatic drainage / massage. Will always recommend The Wellness Massage Specialist.

“I wasn’t sure what difference Alison would make to my constantly tight shoulders and back. I’d been to a physio before her and found that salon massage therapists’ standard methods left me with more pain and tension. Since Alison’s a preggy belly specialist, I thought I’d give her a try with my advanced ovarian cancer situation.
As it turned out, my scar tissue and (NB: epithelial / superficial) tumour on my glands were causing havoc with my back muscle and lymph drainage. She figured out the lymph drainage problem and worked on it every time I had an appointment. I knew it worked when the “lumpy pain” behind my knee went away. She also massaged the scar tissue in my pelvis to help circulate blood flow. No one had ever thought to do that before and it was a little weird the first time but it worked surprisingly well.
It also helped relax my colon so now I have a happy bowel system too! After just 2 massage treatments, my oncologist commented on the improvement of my bowel sounds heard through her stethoscope – apparently that’s a good way to gauge what’s going on. Alison can’t fix my problem but she certainly relieved my discomfort (and ensuing grumpiness!).
I hesitate to recommend this for all cancer clients because every case is different but in my case, Alison intuited just the right treatment and every session is worth it. If your oncologist agrees, then Alison can help relieve muscle stiffness / apathy, and circulation problems that often come with/after a chemo regimen (and lack of exercise).
Alison has certainly aided in my healing, she has empowered me and Nurtured me.”
