Testimonials and client feedback
Massage
A visit to “The Garden Room” is a pleasure. Emily is professional, warm and friendly and really listens to your requirements. I have had massages from various places over the years and a massage from Emily by far exceeds all those others. I have always come away from my massages feeling relaxed and pampered, what more could a girl ask for!
Teresa Harris, Wymondham
Emily Mumford is the best massage therapist I have experienced, and I have been a regular customer for many years. Her attention to detail, and her consideration for her clients is second to none.
Christine Herbert, Wymondham
I have experienced massage at the hands of many therapists. What I particularly value about working with Emily is the quality of presence that she both brings and invites. The attention she offers means that a massage is given in the context of the client’s whole story. I feel well listened to when I am working with Emily, I feel completely safe and my body feels in some way welcomed home – restored to me and at the same time connected in trust to another. It’s a rare and precious combination.
Jim Green, Norwich
Although I am only able to benefit from Emily's care and expertise about twice a year, because I live abroad, it has been invaluable. The time she devotes, her intuition and her attention to detail, her wanting to understand what is really happening with each individual - an approach whereby everyone's different needs are carefully considered - are all testament to her dedication and vocation. She also brought to my attention issues that other practitioners have missed, for example arm pains which were linked to nerve damage in my fingers. She is thoughtful, conscientious and committed to her clients' well-being.

Emily is as professional as she is warm and compassionate. I could not imagine anyone being more naturally suited to her profession. I have been inspired, educated, supported and healed beyond expectation. And the fact that I've been having regular treatments with Emily for over 7 years speaks for itself! I couldn’t recommend her highly enough…
Jasmine Hastings, Norwich
I attend exhibitions and visit art galleries regularly which is where I suffer - looking at pictures for some reason is very tiring for my shoulders and I end up with terrible discomfort and pain. It was suggested that I should try a massage with Emily; I went to an exhibition a few days afterwards – it was only on the train coming home that I suddenly had a twinge and realised that I had had no discomfort all day. I now receive regular treatments and it has made a big difference.

Colonic Hydrotherapy - General Comments
Andy Fisher made a video diary of his detox programme, in this clip he describes coming to Emily for his first experience of colonic irrigation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdiDuO70AhA
Andy Fisher, Norfolk
I want to thank you for making my colonics session with you a good experience. You gave me plenty of information about what you were doing, and what was going to happen when, and what it might feel like, which reduced my level of apprehension and made the whole thing more manageable for me. The whole session was professional but gentle, nurturing and caring and I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to come and try it, however nervous they might be about the idea of colonics - it gives you a wonderful feeling afterwards of lightness and increased energy levels.
Christine Herbert, Wymondham
I was treated by Emily in the early summer of this year. It was a total pleasure to visit this beautiful, pristine, practice and to get to know Emily who is sympathetic, discreet and very supportive- both during the sessions and between times. I definitely noticed the treatments working, not just at the time but in the weeks following... Highly recommended.
Harriet, Norfolk.
Emily, is a lovely, lovely lady. Very thorough in the questions she asked me to begin with. I really felt she took the time to understand both me and my body. I have regular complementary healing of various kinds and went to Emily to try the Colonics. I am very aware what I eat and try my best to look after my body so I was curious what a colonic would reveal. I didn’t have any particular health problems.
Through each stage Emily was thoughtful, calm, professional and supportive. She constantly reassured me and explained what was happening. In my work I help people lose weight without dieting and colonics has come up for discussion on a few occasions. Part of my reason for going to Emily was to try it for myself so I could offer first hand knowledge to my own clients. I would highly recommend a colonic with Emily to anyone whether like me you are just ‘curious’ or if you have health problems like IBS and other digestive problems. After the treatment I felt much lighter, as if I’d had a spring clean inside.

K.S. sent me this e-mail the day after her treatment:
This is going to sound strange but I feel like totally different person today.
I'm less confused and can make decisions a lot quicker than I usually do, my mind feels clearer and more precise, not sure whether it's a coincidence or not, but who cares it's a definite improvement for mind and body.
Have had what I call a low grade headache today, but I am sure that will sort itself out .
I would like to thank you for making a daunting procedure almost a pleasure, well maybe that's going a bit OTT, but you know what I mean!!
Oh, and I have lost 3lbs,aiming now to keep eating healthily and lose a bit more.
And this a few days later:
I am going to start taking an aloe vera herbal colon cleansing herbal treatment to keep me regular as I feel so much better and I don't want to go back to feeling the way I did before my procedure.
I went to work yesterday for 4 hours, on my feet the whole time, and I came home and did 4 hours gardening and I didn't have any aches and pains or feel exhausted like I usually do, I couldn't believe it, I cooked dinner, went out to work again and was still awake at 10pm,it's really made a huge difference.
I am going to work this morning and I am going to come home and paint our spare room, there’s no stopping me!!

Emily was professional and friendly and put me at ease straightaway. The colonic irrigation in combination with a liver cleanse resulted in a marked improvement in my chronic dermatitis. What was interesting was that as well as feeling physically detoxified I also felt that the colonic helped to flush out old, stagnant emotions leaving me feeling really renewed on all levels!
C.W. Hingham
It's going fantastic - have lost about 5lb in weight - has spurred me to eat more healthily and chew! Also given up my naughty ciggies l used to have as don't want anymore toxins in my body! So far as the 'perfect poo' goes - my bowels have been in tip top health - all fine no more loose stools and diarrhoea! I feel great loads more energy to be able to keep up with boys and stomach is certainly much less bloated which I'm very pleased about as going on holiday Sunday! Thank you so very much I have been recommending you to a lot of people I know! I would highly recommend the treatment to anyone suffering out there!

Nicola sent me this e-mail the day after her treatment:
I would just like to say how much I enjoyed my visit to you yesterday. I have never experienced a Colonic before and straight away I felt at ease. The consultation right through to the end of the treatment was a pleasure and although I was apprehensive at first, it didn’t take me long to settle in your company. I was amazed at the results and the effects of the treatment and will be visiting you again in the future!
And when I asked her if I could use her words on my website:
Feel free to post it on your website! It was your client feedback which helped to give me that push to call you. It's an excellent addition to your fab website and I would love to be a part of it!
My bowel is something I think most highly of now, and I have you to thank!
Nicola Brewer, Thetford
I came to you for a one off treatment. I came to you after a relative period of inactivity as I was recovering from a leg fracture that had kept me from training for a marathon. I had just completed a detox, a 2 week process that I had completed many times previously but found myself to be suffering from headaches.
During my period of inactivity my leg fracture had been wrongly diagnosed as compartment syndrome and I had been taking quite a large dose of Ibuprofen daily.
Within one hour of the colonic I felt like my whole body was finally rid of the toxins and the headaches have since stopped.
Although I have not run a complete marathon since I have run 4 half marathons and probably only had 2 Ibuprofen tablets since my last visit. I have a marathon planned for mid October and plan to use your services again prior to the event as a further tool to prepare.
In short, I found the one off treatment exactly what I needed for my ailment.
Nik Chapman, Newmarket
Emily hi, it was nice to meet you the other day, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to see me it was greatly appreciated.
It’s only been a few days but I already feel so much better and things seem to be on a more regular basis now which I am so pleased about.
The whole thing was much more manageable than I thought it might be during the session, which was down to your skill at putting me at ease as soon as I arrived.
A patient
I was very apprehensive of actually doing this and, being a guy, the first thing that comes in your head is that guys just don’t do this kind of stuff; but I knew in my mind that if I wanted to get into better health then I’d got to do what it takes: so I had to make up my mind and make this initial step.
While having this treatment Emily was very professional about every step of the treatment - talking me through the procedure, and, by knowing what she was doing to me, I felt relaxed, and the treatment became so much easier to handle.
As a matter of fact, after the initial first hesitant move, in less than no time I felt very comfortable with the whole treatment - so much so that I came back for the second cleanse! And now I feel better in myself knowing that my colon is thoroughly clean. Also I have been going to the toilet sometimes twice a day with less bloating and flatulence. I am totally happy with this experience and treatment that I am contemplating on coming back in a year’s time for a yearly cleanse. So thank you Emily for your very pleasant and gentle care!
Ricky Francis, Brandon, Norfolk
I just wanted to tell you that the irrigation has been very successful in the long term - it's made a big difference and I feel that my bowel is functioning well for the first time in living memory! So you seem to have cured me in one go (not good for business!) but if it starts to deteriorate I will be back for another.
S.B. Hargham, Norfolk
C.A. has suffered from IBS for many years, she had her first colonic treatment when in Spain 7 years ago, and had found it very helpful. But when I saw her things had flared up: she had had 10 days of acute diarrhoea which even led to her soiling herself in her sleep. After coming to see me once, she sent me these three weekly bulletins:
First week: "My bowel has felt much more relaxed. I have had no more accidents at night. That in itself makes me feel much better. My motions are still loose but only twice a day, except for yesterday when I passed three and the bowel was rather in a spasm, today it has settled again."
Second week: "My treatment is still working in that improvements are continuing. My bowel is calmer and the movements more settled."
Third week: "Things are continuing to improve. I have had seven days with a formed stool with the bowel motion once a day."
C.A. Swaffham
L.R. sent me an initial report and then a follow up a year later:
So far I have seen an improvement I don't feel anything like as bloated as I have in the past and I appear to be having about two bowel movements a day - and this morning, a very normal poo - I cannot remember the last time!
I'm really pleased because this is what I wanted and I am hoping that things stay this way. Although a part of me does feel that perhaps there is more we can achieve, and if that is the case I may well come for another treatment at some point.
But all in all things have been a lot more settled, the flatulence has definitely died down and been a lot more pleasant to live with.
Thanks very much for your help and excellent treatment.
And a year later she sent the following e-mail:
Just to let you know that I am continuing to reap the benefits from my visit to you and things are still much better than previously.
L.R. Dereham
I had my first colonic about six years ago. I had always suffered badly with PMT. After that initial colonic I have only had the occasional day of PMT.
