I started my MELT journey nearly a year ago now due to a history of chronic back problems. I was having a regular monthly hands-on treatment prior to starting MELT and can happily say I haven't needed any hands-on treatment as yet. Sarah-Jane is so encouraging and makes even the novice melter feel at ease. I know that I've got a long way to go, but in recent weeks I've had some back pain and using the techniques at home between classes, without having hands-on work, I can really feel the benefit. And on class night, I know I'm going to sleep the best night's sleep.

I have consulted Sarah-Jane for treatment for many years now for problems ranging from neck and shoulder pain, loss of spinal mobility due to tightening of muscles, and other associated aging difficulties, and she has always managed to put me right. But she has really shown her versatility in the past year when I started to have treatment from her following a crushing fall from a horse, which resulted in multiple fractures, including my spine and neck. Quite a daunting set of difficulties, really, but one which she set about with utter professionalism and confidence. She uses a range of treatments to relax and repair the muscle and tissue damage, and in my case, she started with hot stones and cupping to release the tension, ease the pain, and increase mobility. Over the weeks, she then proceeded to use other soft tissue techniques to promote healing, all of which are soothing and gentle and help to alleviate pain and discomfort. She's my first point of call if I have any pain, stiffness, or mobility problems, and I can say with complete confidence that she has the breadth of knowledge and the skill set to work alongside physiotherapists and doctors as an equal.

I've been doing melt classes with Sarah-Jane for over six months now. I had been introduced to melt a number of years ago while navigating back pain. I was struggling to stay motivated with practice and found Sarah-Jane's live classes. It's been a game changer. Sarah-Jane gives clear direction on the moves and explains the melt techniques in detail, correcting our posture position where necessary. I've learned that my back pain is primarily tension or stuck stress, as we melt-ers call it. And my regular melt classes with Sarah-Jane keep my body hydrated and freer. I've kept up my melt practice since finding Sarah-Jane and it's improved my sleep, reduced headaches and tension, and my yoga and Pilates has hugely benefited as a result. I'd highly recommend Sarah-Jane's classes. She's a great teacher and a lovely soul.

I've known Sarah-Jane for many years. She's my go-to when I have shoulder and neck problems, and she's always manages to sort me out. I revisited Sarah-Jane back in August when I could barely walk due to the most severe attack of plantar fasciitis I had ever had. After each treatment session, my heel felt a little better and I could walk more easily, but I was almost back to square one by the time my next treatment session came around, so I tried a MELT taster session and I have not looked back. I have had a combination of hands-on treatments from Sarah-Jane's massage, hot stones, acupuncture, all of which make me so relaxed and ease the pain in my foot. However, it is the combination of these treatments, daily posture alignment exercises specified by Sarah-Jane and doing MELT at least four times a week that has once again allowed me to go running for the first time since July. I was so happy on Tuesday, out running, and even happier on Wednesday morning when I could still walk, and what's more, with no pain.

Sarah Jane Goulding helped me recover from 2 disc prolapses in my neck last year. I was in agony, amd after the first treatment I had the first pain relief and good night sleep in months. More than anything she gave me hope that I could heal, and I did. I cannot recommend her enough. She is brilliant.
