Testimonials

“I saw Dafna at short notice when experiencing back pain that made it difficult to sit down. After a one hour session I am far more comfortable in my body. I felt the tension begin to release within 10 mins and it was the most relaxed I’ve felt since sitting on a debilitating Southern rail seat a week before. Daphna was calm and explained her approach. I felt confident and trusting although it was my first session with her.  I recommend Dafna for back pain release.” Sarah W, Nov 23

‘I suffer from chronic pain for many years and after the massage with Seth Allan I felt that a lot of the pain was released and I was able to move more freely. I found that Seth was able to address the problematic areas of both the pain around my neck and the pain in my upper body. I am looking forward to further sessions with him on a regular basis!’ CY, maths teacher and educational researcher, Jul 23

‘Seth takes an individual and holistic approach to massage. As soon as I enter the treatment room I feel calm descend. The approach is a mix of different types of massage and the overall affect is deeply relaxing. I leave feeling lighter and at peace. Highly recommended.’ Sarah W, Dec 21

“The craniosacral treatment I received from Debbie allowed my whole body to integrate and relax into something new. I felt extremely held, safe and nurtured. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to deepen into their own bodies rhythms. Debbie is caring, trusting and fully present which meant my monkey mind could switch off, allowing me to listen to myself from the inside. Thank you Debbie. I felt held on so many different levels that it was easy to let go.” SB Nov ‘21

“I have used Will Wheen for over 15 years and he always cures those ache and pains. The Open Door is beautifully decorated with a relaxing atmosphere. Lots of classes and therapy available.” (Tracey J, February ‘20)

“I had a massage with Dafna, it was superb! Such a professional and competent massage, extremely relaxing but also I could feel it releasing so much muscle tension and getting deep into the areas where I feel tension and tightness. I would recommend.” (Ruth, February ‘20)

“In this era of brickbats and footling complaints, I just wanted to convey my warm appreciation for the excellent treatment I was provided by Ace Craniosacral Therapist and Hot Stones administrator, Angela Whitney. The massage and hot stones application was first class and, whilst I wasn't necessarily walking on clouds, I was certainly very relaxed and de-stressed after the treatment. It was a very pleasant hour under the care of her professional skills. Please convey my sincere thanks again to Angela.” (John G, January ‘20)

“As a clinic it’s highly professional and a growing hub within the community for wellness and creativity activities. Recently went to see Oscar as I had a neck issue causing considerable pain and was due to drive 900 miles through France the following day. He not only solved that and made the drive a lot more comfortable than it would have been but he resolved a headache I had too. Oscar is highly professional, has multiple techniques at his fingertips and considering it was the first time I’ve seen him, honed in on the issues swiftly. I highly recommend Oscar and will definitely see him again.” (Sarah, Sept ‘19)

“The Open Door is a wonderful place for treatments. I regularly have treatments with Will who always manages to put me back together! Rachel's treatments of full body massage or reflexology are also a must . I always leave the building walking on air feeling wonderful. Thoroughly recommend.” (Angela, Sept ‘19)

“As a therapy practitioner, my practice has deepened in the work I do because of the teachings I have acquired from Amadis which has taken me on a personal and spiritual journey over 8 years, giving me the professional tools to help in a world that so needs healing. My confidence has extended that as a human being, I have faced the fears which once prevented me from becoming who I really am.”  Lynn M, Bristol

“Visiting The Open Door in Lewes is a wonderfully uplifting experience. It is a superb location, sympathetically designed so that its ambience is at once welcoming and reassuring. I attend a Monday Drop In Group for the over 60s which is both informative and comforting. A lovely group of clients, lead by Dafna, one of the therapists, enjoy listening to a variety of speakers and taking part in a range of activities. I have been a client of Dafna for three years and have experienced the therapeutic benefits of her wonderful deep tissue massages! I cannot speak too highly of her .” (Sue, Aug ‘19)

“I feel so much better after a Massage with Jade. Am really grateful to have found such a wonderful therapist.” (Sarah, Feb ‘19)

“After over 1 year of extremely intense pain in lower leg, glute and foot and having tried everything, I had my first session with Oscar which made a huge difference, pain is down by 50%, can walk and also my neck is much looser. Magic hands!” (Louise, Jan ‘19)

“I felt quietly happy and at the same time energetic after our workshop with Debbie. I love how simple, yet deep, the Kuya Limpia is. And I very much believe that that which comes easy or natural to us does so because we follow the flow. Go in the right direction, so to speak. At the same time I absolutely love the Prayer for Creating Sacred Space and will try to learn it by heart. I'm sure, it can also be a beautiful and a respectful and integrative way to honour our helpers whether it's Kuya Limpia, healing, coaching or soul-connecting.” CB

“This is a very valuable space. Easily accessible, calm and inviting. The Reception affords privacy as it isn’t obvious who the last client is when leaving. I have seen other Counsellors and had to wait in the street if early or a client over ran.” (Ian, Oct ‘18)

“It’s a lovely space here, energy feels good and decor and furnishings are simple and calming; a pleasure to be here.” (Anita, Oct ‘18)

“I have been having reflexology with Rachel for over 3 years. I find the treatment excellent for maintaining good health, as I can ask Rachel to focus on any problem areas. It is also amazingly relaxing! Rachel is a fabulous practitioner.” (Val, Nov ’18)

“I’ve been treated by Dafna for some time and she has helped my shoulder/neck problems a lot.” (Sue, Oct ‘18)

“Whenever I attend Caz’s chant circle it always makes me feel so cleansed after, re energised and a sense of feeling balanced. A very empowering sound therapy.” (Angelica, Oct ‘18)

“I had a 90 minute Hot Stone Massage with Sarah. The warmth of the stones, combined with Sarah’s wonderful Massage technique left me feeling relaxed, calm and warm.” (Anthea, Oct ‘18)

“Can’t give enough praise to the therapist David who is giving me so much support with my issues. Highly recommend The Open Door to anyone who needs someone to listen and give that shoulder you need at a difficult time.” (Michelle, Aug ‘18)

“Very professional! Great Massage!” (Geraldine, Aug ‘18)
