Haven on The Square, Winchester - A Centre for Health, Beauty and Theraputic Support
Making Changes Package:
After a rather nasty time in my old job, I was experiencing a lot of anxiety making it very hard to sleep at night. As a newish Mum, my self confidence had taken a huge dent and I was at an all time low. I wqas under the Doctor and on the way to becoming very depressed.
I was referred to Haven on the Square by another counsellor who felt that Barbara and Georgina would be able to help me.
It is hard to believe that I am the same person from when I first walked in the door, very nervous, anxious, shy and quiet.
I had a free consultation with Barbara and Georgina separately and we decided to try the 6 week Making Changes package.
We worked on a '3 prong' attack! The counselling, followed by reflexology and regular exercise has been life changing.
The counselling helped me get everything that I had bottled up off my chest and Barbara gave me new skills to change my old negative habits. She is an exceptional counsellor and I felt I was in a very safe, private and trustful environment. Each session moved on from the first and moved me on too. After counselling sessions I then received excellent reflexology from Georgina and great nutritional advice too. I felt like the reflexology help make the anxiety 'leave' my body for good instead of floating around to endure later. I have never experienced a better feeling of complete relaxation as after reflexolgy from Georgina. Georgina really helped me learn how to relax again and with Barbara's tips I found myself getting more and more sleep.
From both their advice I joined a gym which I regularly attend now, this also aids my sleep as my body is actually tired at the end of the day.
Knowing that ongoing help is available, I thoroughly recommend Barbara and Georgina's professional and caring Making Changes package.
It really has been life changing. I can't thank either of them enough xxx
A birthday treat from my son, Tim brought me to Haven on The Square. If I tell you it's the best gift I've ever received - second only to the mazda MX5 for my 50th birthday - you'll know just how special Haven on The Square is!
I was recovering from an operation for breast cancer and about to embark on a course of chemotherapy so I was feeling very fragile. Just walking into Haven on The Square where I was greeted by the most wonderful aroma , I felt my spirits lift.
The first thing I noticed about Georgina was her radiant smile and warm welcome. Never having had a massage before, I was a little nervous but I needn't have worried. Georgina's approach was kind and caring and she soon advised me on what treatment she thought was appropriate for my needs. I left Haven so relaxed, I could have floated out of the door.
I hated the whole experience of chemotherapy, but having a massage before each treatment made it all bearable. Thank you so much Georgina I couldn't have got through it without your care and support.
Your love of life and your caring attitude shine through.
For me Haven on The Square is simply Heavenly.
Georgina I wish you every success, thanks for all your advice on skin care, my skin has never felt so silky and thanks for all the laughter.
I look forward to my next visit.

Georgina, just a quick mail to tell you that the waxing session i I had last month with you was the best I have had in Winchester by miles!!
Practically painless, lovely wax that was not smelly, sticky, or too hot as is often the case and legs still very smooth after three weeks, I am a convert!
See you next week!

Dear Georgina, I walked into your treatment room a few weeks ago feeling stressed, tired and care-worn. After that first treatment i was in no doubt that i had found a therapist who had a natural gift for healing and who was also a very caring and genuine lady.
I may have dragged myself in your door but i floated out! Having now had several treatments from you, i now feel totally different - energised and happy.
Sincere thanks

Before Christmas I was feeling particularly stressed and tense, so I decided to make an appointment with Georgina for a full aromatherapy massage. I was made to feel really welcome at The Haven on The Square. After a refreshing mint drink, Georgina took care to find out more about what was appropriate for me, mixing delicious massage oils. The lovely massage was so relaxing that I found it difficult to stay awake!
I admire Georgina’s quiet professionalism and would certainly recommend The Haven on The Square to anyone seeking to escape from a busy, stressful life for an hour or so.
Kind regards

Georgina, I feel as though the massage has really done some good. My neck and back felt a little tender on day one, but absolutley brilliant now and I am really feeling the benefit - will definitely have to book one regularly moving forwards.

Thank you very much. I thoroughly enjoyed my very first Hot Stone Therapy Massage.
It was probably the first time I have relaxed in a very long time!
You seem to give an air of calm which is very easing.
At this very stressful time, I couldn’t have asked for a better treatment.
Also, for someone who has a foot phobia – you did well not to make me flinch and cringe.
Very many thanks and I look forward to my next treatment.
Kind Regards

I very much enjoyed the Holistic Facial that I had with you the other week. I found it a very relaxing experience that was most welcome after a day at work. It was good to discuss my individual skin-care needs to get the most benefit from the facial and the natural products used. My skin felt radiant afterwards. The treatment room itself has a comfortable and calming ambiance, so its easy to unwind and forget the hustle and bustle outside. I'll be coming back!

I felt immediately at ease with Georgina in her treatment room. A perfect space for pampering and relaxation. Georgina is particularly good at finding the muscular and skeletal problems, working intuitively to bring about healing and wellness. She also introduced me to a lifestyle analysis, which combined with supplements and nutritional advice has really put me on the right path.

Thank you for the relaxing Aromatherapy Massage, it was such a pleasure to walk into a lovely atmosphere, to be given such a warm welcome and good professional advice. It was good value and will look forward to booking another treatment very soon.

Just wanted to say thank you and Dinah last night was great. Very informative, useful and hopefully something that will make a difference to us in the future.

The first thing i noticed on meeting Georgie was her lovely smile. She has a gentle approach to her client and makes sure that all the relevant questions are asked, pertaining to health and well-being. Before treatment, Georgie would take into account how i felt on the day of treatment and would use oils that would give me the most benefit and she would always make sure i was happy with her choice and the aroma.
Her application has been one of firmness and confidence. As i suffer rather a lot from back pain, Georgie concentrated on that area and i found afterwards i was much more mobile, felt very relaxed and my sleep patterns have improved.
Georgie will do well in the beauty world. She has a very relaxing approach and is very caring. I shall miss her and the very enjoyable treatment received. I wish her well and very many thanks for the opportunity of being her case study.

I have had a course of Reflexology with Georgina. I found the experience to be very interesting. Georgina was both professional and knowledgeable. At times the experience was uncomfortable but never unpleasant and diagnostically Georgina was spot on. About half way through the treatments I felt quite ill and low but it was explained to me that this was a healing crises and just go with it. After about 2 weeks i felt much better and Georgina noticed an improvement in my feet. After each treatment i felt calm and relaxed and i would certainly consider continuing with Reflexology treatments.
