  • I hired the Tens machine through Drift Away Massage Therapy. It's delivered in very good condition and it helped me a lot during my labour :)
    It comes with good samples for mum and baby such as cream, lip balm and oil. I returned the machine by using enclosed pre-paid return bag. Really satisfied with hiring tens machine in here. Thank you so much - S Song (TENS hire)

  • I crept into an oasis of tranquility and was swept away into total relaxation with the calm yet firm touch Moira brings to the absolute BEST massage I have had in my life. She skillfully navigated through all the knots and I floated out feeling like a new person ready to take on the rest of the Christmas rush. Thank you for my ultimate Pamper Session from top to toe x - Mickey (Relaxation Massage December 2022)

  • Phenomenal pregnancy massage, definitely recommend! - Sarah (Pregnancy Massage, August 2023)

  • If you suffer from Fibromyalgia or something thing similar. I highly recommend Moira from Drift Away Massage Therapy. I can’t rate her enough - She is not just a massage therapist. She loves what she does, she cares and she listens. Her knowledge of the body and health conditions is incredible. I’ve seen many many specialists over the years and I have never meet or been treated by someone as special as Moira. She is an inspiration. I always leave her feeling untouchable - Hayley (Relaxation Massage, July 2023)

  • I must book another massage with you because it was the best massage ever!! - CB (Pregnancy Massage, November 2022)

  • I could not recommend Moira from Drift Away Massage more highly! Moira massaged me during my labour with my daughter. This was a game changer for me, in comparison to my previous birth. Moira’s presence and massage skills were both relaxing, supportive, peaceful, and empowering. Moira really made my childbirth experience almost pleasurable.I felt like I was in a massage clinic, rather than in a hospital room giving birth.I would easily recommend Moira and her services to anyone. She is absolutely gorgeous as a person and a masseur. Thank you so much - Adele (Birth Doula Support September 2022)

  • Moira is an absolute Angel 😇 So much care and consideration with your massage. I've never felt this good after a massage before! Highly recommend Moira!

  • I just wanted to say thank you so much.I was beyond impressed with your service, kindness, advice and care.

  • I cannot even thank you enough for yesterday! You were incredible! You were the whole reason that my birth changed from clinical to perfect and peaceful and everything I hoped for. Thank you so so so so much!!! You were absolutely amazing and made me feel so supported and looked after. It was a very special experience. Mum and I both appreciated you big time, I don’t know what we would have done without you - Adele (Birth Doula Support, September 2022)

  • Moira has helped me in so many ways than expected. I first saw her at 24 weeks pregnant and then again just before 30 weeks. Moira is friendly, kind and really took the time to listen and understand my pregnancy journey so she could determine how to best help me. She is a wealth of knowledge and shared so many tips & tricks on pregnancy, labour and birth with me that I really value. Her little studio has a warm, cosy, homely feel which made me feel nice and comfy. I will be returning once I give birth for a nice recovery massage 😊 thank you Moira! xx - Aliza (Pregnancy Massage, August 2022)

  • Moira did an excellent job with my 'labour preparation massage'👌🏼I had back pain, restless leg and your typical pregnancy body aches. I'm 37 weeks pregnant and this was a great start to kick off my maternity leave. I really appreciate Moira explaining the massage she was doing and even gave tips/techniques to manage labour pains! Thanks Moira 💛 - ZS (Pregnancy Massage, August 2022)

  • After one visit, I walked away freed of my neck pain just from massaging the tight areas in my arms and down my sides that I didn’t even know were there. Thank you ever so much Moira - Toni (Relaxation Massage, July 2022)

  • I booked a message with Moira at Drift Away after a hard weekend of gardening. It was the best 90 minutes of my day. Drift Away is a beautiful space that exudes calm and serenity. Moira knows just how to work the tired muscles and sends you away feeling relaxed and happy. The flexibility that Moira offers is a bonus. I will definitely be back. - Sandie (Relaxation Massage, May 2022)

  • Thank you so much, massage had an amazing effect. After so many months, I was able to take a nap in the afternoon. I also sleep better last night. Thank you so much, you are such a lovely person. I am so glad to have met you, and would love to get a massage from you again x - AS (Post-Partum Massage May 2022)

  • How refreshing and rare it is to have someone who doesn't want to fix you or tell you everything is okay. They acknowledge your feelings - yes that has been a really shitty time and really traumatic. They don't try and invalidate what you've been going through ❤️ so much love for Moira who held space for me today AND gave the best relaxing massage this morning. Now I'm going to cry it out and make a plan going forward 💪🏻 ⭐ You can drink all the top health shakes, work out 3x a day but unless you sort out your mind you'll never be healthy - Becks (Relaxation Massage April 2022)

  • Moira is just amaizing! I was so relaxed after the massage and the sharp pain in my hip disappeared completly! I could not belive it
    100% recommended!!! - K Lahiani (Pregnancy Massage, February 2022)

  • Where do I start? Moira has been my saving grace. Quite literally. Late in my third trimester of pregnancy, I developed an acute case of sciatic nerve damage that ran the length of my entire left leg, saw me in hospital and ended up immobile, on crutches. Initially I saw Moira at her clinic, where her magic hands through expert pregnancy massage, helped me to feel comfortable and, I truly believe, contributed to my almost healed nerve damage. I ended up buying a package deal from Moira and added on some Add On’s too - the head and the foot add ons are simply ah-mazing. The package deal meant I could space out 6 amazing treatment massages over the last 6 or so weeks of my pregnancy, and, when my mobility went away completely, Moira came to my home for small fee, but so worth it as I didn’t need to leave the house in order to get her magic treatment! Thank you so much Moira - you have become a cherished friend too! Thank you for the amazing care, compassion, respect and generosity you have treated me to over the past few months xxx - J Aspin (Pregnancy Massage Package, March 2022)

  • Really loved the relaxation and head massage. Would 100% recommend - N Glamuzina (Relaxation Massage, February 2022)

  • Moira is absolutely amazing !! Always makes you feel super comfortable and her studio is just the cutest!! Always felt so great after a massage - S Watson (Relaxation Massage/Spa Treatment, February 2022)

  • I didn’t realise how much that tight hip was stopping me from doing. When I left I was walking completely differently than when I came in! So thank you! You’ve given me some energy back! - C Robinson (Relaxation/Theraputic Massage, March 2022)

  • These tens are the BEST. I used these for both of my labours (Tens Hire, March 2022)

  • ‘Amazing massages with Moira. I first met Moira when I was pregnant and she offered the best pre-natal massages. Now that bubba is here, Moira provides a calm, stress-free environment for both baby and myself. She takes her time to ensure both baby and I are comfortable and relaxed. Moira even has a Moses basket to put bub in for a nap. Today, when my baby needed a feed a few minutes into the massage, Moira guided me to feeding laying down on the side and then resumed the massage. Not only did I learn something new, it was quite a special and intimate experience that I had with my baby. Thank you so much Moira - you really go above and beyond for your clients and as a new mum, you’ve helped put me at ease. Can’t wait for the next massage’ - Carol (Preg & Post Natal Massage September 2020)

Thank you so much for such a lovely treatment and I will definitely be back’ - A Metcalf (Spa Body Exfoliation)

  • ‘Thank you so much for your amazing massage - 90 mins felt like 15!’ (Pregnancy Massage)

  • ‘Moira was an absolute blessing for us. We felt informed and supported in our birth plan preferences and Moira helped us to achieve those. She worked well with the healthcare team to make sure we understood what was happening during the birth process, any interventions required and what the options were. Moira helped Matthew feel that he could me in safe hands to go for short periods and I would be well supported. Moira helped me to stay in a positive head space about the birth process which helped me focus on breathing or using gas through the contractions. Moira was informative and compassionate. She gave us a birth consistent with our preferences. I don’t think any of us were prepared for the amount of time that we would be spending in the WAU. I would recommend to other expectant Mums to be prepared for that possibility. It’s a cold and pokey little room but Matt was amazed how Moira managed to transform it into a much calmer space in just 20mins while he went to the car!’ - K & M Pearson (Birth Doula Support)
