What clients say

  • MASSAGE
    “Of the four and half years I've been dealing with a rotator cuff injury, Uschi of Kind Living is the ONLY therapist (of many) who has managed to significantly reduce the pain for me both before and after surgery. She's on a mission now to free up my frozen shoulder using myofascial release massage, and it seems to be working after just two sessions!!! So grateful for Uschi and her gifted hands, calming aura, and kind heart.”

    “I love coming to see Uschi! The environment she has created is lovely and I always feel better physically, mentally and emotionally. Her massage is fabulous for relaxation and general life, but also for dealing with the effects of club feet and scar tissue. Highly recommend!”

  • HOLISTIC COACHING
    “It has been a wonderful experience going through a series of coaching sessions with Uschi. The combination of warmth, empathy and connection with her knowledge, experience and deep understanding of how the mind works, creates a beautiful space where transformation and growth happen with ease. It feels like she has this bag of tricks and she can pull one out at the right moment, except they are not tricks but rather, practical tools for releasing the old and embracing the new - also known as personal development. …“

    “I can’t recommend Uschi highly enough. She is energetically attuned to what’s happening in the body as she massages and she is very responsive to that.

    I can honestly say Uschi gave me the best massage I have ever had.

    “I have just had a massage with Uschi. I am trying to go once a week. It feels essential for self care in the work I do. I went tonight feeling overwhelmed drained and every joint sore. I left feeling relaxed, clear headed and very present. Uschi works in such a gentle but deep way. She is a safe and experienced practitioner who holds space beautifully. The experience is therapeutic at every level. Each time I go I feel as if I have received a gift.?

    “Uschi was much stronger and pushed me more than the other life couch I had in the past which really got me past the surface wants and needs to the core of why I want and need these things in the first place.

    I loved the organic natural feel to the session, it seemed to flow with whatever came up which I personally thrive on.”

    “I have had a problem with pins and needles down one arm and an osteopath recommended regular massages. I booked with Uschi and after one treatment the difference has been amazing, she worked around my shoulder neck and chest and I have so much relief of symptoms....very relaxing environment as well, Thank you Uschi.”

  • MASSAGE
    “Hip area which was too painful to just get straight up from the floor is pain-free from the first treatment. … Also, a permanently swollen painful ankle that Uschi treated at the same time, is improved by 90%. The treatment releases sticky, blocked fascia, and voila! no pain 😃 so grateful.”

  • MASSAGE
    “ I came to Uschi with stubborn neck and shoulder pain from an older injury. She provided some immediate relief in the first session, and by the third there was significant improvement. Her massaging technique is technical yet gentle.

    The therapy room is always warm and inviting. The parking is easy and the address is sign-marked for convenience. Uschi is amazing!!”

    “... During Uschi’s coaching, she helped me figure out what my block was and remove it from myself permanently. Uschi kept me accountable, checked in with me and each exercise was a big step forward in improving myself and my mindset. She really tailored our sessions to me …

    Uschi is fantastic. She listened, kept notes, remembered things about me and my goals. She knew exactly what to ask and pushed me in the best way. I have overcome many obstacles thanks to Uschi.

  • HOLISTIC COACHING
    “Uschi has been instrumental in the growth of my new business. I met Uschi as I had transitioned from one career into a totally new field and had just finished a certifying course. I was feeling stuck and unable to move forward due to overwhelm of all the different options I could take. Working with Uschi was paramount for me to keep moving forward and not getting caught up in my own circles and overtaken by all the ideas and directions I could go.
