Here are some of my clients’ feedback:
“An amazing full body Swedish massage. I felt really comfortable and relaxed. One of the best massages I had ever had.” J. Weedon, Maidenhead, June, 2026
“Very impressed! I’ve had sports massages before, but I now see this was a proper one! Vatché clearly has a strong dedication to achieve the best possible results. He seemed extremely knowledgeable and used techniques I’ve not experienced with other sports massages in the past that were effective. Would highly recommend.” Scott Brown, Reading, June, 2026
“As someone who weighs 95 kg and has a decent amount of muscle, I really appreciate a massage therapist who has strength, experience, and precision. Vatché ticks all the boxes. This was my first mixed session (Swedish & Deep Tissue massage) and I will definitely be using his services again. He perfectly located and addressed my problem areas, plus the Swedish massage was highly relaxing. Highly recommended. Reasonably priced, which was a nice surprise.” Martin Dembek, Reading, Berkshire, 31st May, 2026.
“Vatché is a professional and highly skilled therapist. Incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. Best deep tissue massage I have had. Will be back!” H. Fergusson – Maidenhead, Berkshire. March, 2026
“Great experience! After changing therapists multiple times, I can honestly say that Vatché has restored my faith in the industry. My treatment was focused, intense and strong. Vatché spent time getting to know me before my treatment and performed a thorough and careful body treatment. Focussing on specific areas of pain and tension. I’m looking forward to seeing the long term benefit of his therapy.” A. Plowman, Ascot, Berkshire. October, 2025
“Vatché is a very professional, friendly, discreet, and I always feel completely comfortable when with him. He gives a wonderful deep sports massage. I live in Devon and choose to have treatment with Vatché when I’m in Reading. The best massage I have ever had and I have lived in many countries. I would give him 6 stars if I could.” Jacquie Bate, Devon/ Reading, October, 2025
“Top quality and highly skilled. He was also able to see me at short notice. Highly recommended.” T. Taylor, Oxford, October, 2025

“I am so glad I was introduced to Vatche a few years ago for a number of different treatments. I was recently in a car accident and have been in absolute agony with neck pain, back pain and pain in my shoulders, all of which causing me migraines/headaches and discomfort in sleep etc. I am currently going to a physio who has honestly been pretty bad in treating me. I decided to go to Vatche yesterday to help and after having the best night sleep I’ve had in weeks, I am now in no more pain! Thank you so much!” Charlotte Potter, Reading, 9 December, 2023
“Wanted to drop a note to say, the therapy worked like magic. Slept very well with no usual pain. Thanks.” V. Shende, Reading, 1st August, 2023.
“I recently had my first appointment with Vatche regarding an ongoing neck issue. I had seen the doctor and two physios, who failed to find a solution but following my first conversation on the phone with Vatche, he was confident he knew the source of my problem. His treatment was fantastic and so accurate, after suffering for weeks with referred ear ache, I have not had a single pain since my treatment. I can confidently recommend Vatche and his ‘magic hands’!” Fiona Morrissey, Reading, 4th June, 2023
“Vatche is a most amazing man. He is understanding of my ailments and he treats my muscular and nerve issues with great care. I have used Vatche for over 5 years and he will be my first port of call when I am in need of treatment.” Sarah Julian, Reading, May, 2023
“Vatche is a highly skilled therapist that can pinpoint any muscular problem within your body. I would highly recommend him, and ever since I have known about him, I have used him and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a massage, as I know when I use his services, my issues will disappear.” Solo Butt, Reading, May, 2023

“I just had a fantastic massage that fused traditional Swedish relaxation and Reiki from Vatche. The premises were very warming and relaxing… a nice atmosphere.. with music, warmth and candles. We covered some medical questions; that for me encouraged of the professional nature of the massage and I got to mention some focus areas. The massage was very relaxing and at times intense and really worked away at the focus areas. I actually think this was the best massage I have had and, today (the day after) I feel better. Highly recommend Healing Vibes if you want a professional, friendly service.” Matt, Reading. 10.04.2012
“Thank you very much for today – you really helped me and I feel much better.” David, Harrow. 24.01.2012 (combined Massage- Reflexology treatment)
“I had heard of Reiki before but never actually tried it. The information provided on Reiki on this website was very beneficial and gave me greater insight to the benefits it could have. Consequently, I was very open to having a therapy that could provide such benefits. There were two sensations that I can recall while the therapy was being carried out; warmth from Vatché’s hands and also a sense of becoming more and more relaxed as time went on. At the end of the session, I felt relaxed and incredibly calm – a wonderful feeling that continued to stay with me for several days. Vatché spoke with me in detail after the treatment and answered my questions. I would indeed return for another treatment!” P.W. South West London. 01.12.2011 (combined Reiki- Massage treatment).
“I cannot recommend Vatché highly enough for a Swedish massage… I have a lot of problems with my neck, upper back and shoulders… afterwards, these areas felt much improved and I had a far greater range of movement. I am a very restless sleeper and after the treatment, I had one of the best night’s sleep for such a long time. The only downside to having a massage with Vatché is that I didn’t want him to stop!!” P.W. South West London. 01.12.2011 (combined Reiki-Massage treatment).
“Utterly professional. Both relaxing and energising – I can thoroughly recommend.” Michael, Berkshire. 29.11.2011
“This man has excellent touch!… he knows how to help relax muscles effectively without being too intrusive! Throughout the massage, he was thoughtful about pace and style and I very quickly relaxed and built up a lot of trust in his touch. As a massage therapist, I recommend Vatché highly. He will have many regular , very healthy clients!” Martin Kingston -www.massage-therapy-london.co.uk- (a fellow therapist). 29.09.2011
“Thank you. An amazing massage experience!” Ian P., Berkshire. 22.09.2010
