New to Bath in 2022 and just opposite us on Old Bond St. Nook is an Aussie style cafe.
Healthy and tasty. Poke bowls, smoothies and coffee are amongst their specialties.

Cascara
Independent vegan cafe just a few yards from us on Upper Borough Walls. Lovely feel, outdoor seating. Great for drinks, snacks and lunch.
Notice the letters carved into the stonework. These mark the parish boundary. S.'MP being St Mark's Parish.
The East Gate
The only survivor of Bath’s four medieval gates, East Gate is now more important for the historical trail it leads us on, rather than what you can see today.
The original city wall was built in Roman times and lasted until into the 17th century when much of it was demolished although much remains below ground and small restored section stands on Upper Borough Walls.
The North, South and West gates were sadly lost in the 18th century but East Gate can still be seen – now way below street level – near Pulteney Weir. You can find more about its history and that of the surrounding area in maps and images here.

My fascination with massage began years ago, but studying with BCMB made it evident to me that a good massage brings relief not only to aching muscles and joints, but also eases pain in our hearts and souls. For this to happen, the client has to trust that his or her therapist is competent, non-judgemental,

For me, each session is unique. Everyone is different. I don’t know what will unfold during a treatment. I trust my intuition based on the connection I build with people. My massage is at its best when I understand the individual and their needs. Einstein said “If I had an hour to solve a problem
Aleksandra Audziejczyk MTI
My fascination with massage began years ago, but studying with BCMB made it evident to me that a good massage brings relief not only to aching muscles and joints, but also eases pain in our hearts and souls. For this to happen, the client has to trust that his or her therapist is competent, non-judgemental, honest and respectful of boundaries. The client-centered holistic approach and focus on the therapeutic relationship was part of my training not only ensures this invaluable build-up of trust but also a massage uniquely adapted to the client’s needs.
I would feel very privileged to work with you and be part of your journey to
better health and a balanced lifestyle.

Nic’s love for massage began whilst living and working abroad for 15 years in Vietnam and South Korea.
He has worked with children in various settings around the world and continues to mentor and run nurture groups for younger people alongside massage. “I’m a people person”, he says, “supporting and nurturing is what floats my boat and the power of touch is a fascinating element of that.”
Nic qualified in both massage and clinical hypnotherapy and offers hypno-massage, Nic has an innate ability to understand and connect with the emotions and experiences of others. This allows him to create a safe and nurturing space where individuals can explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, and aspirations without judgment or reservation. By providing an empathetic and compassionate presence, he can make a positive impact on the lives of those he works with.

Mary Eddowes MTI
My journey with touch and the human body began with my professional dance training and has continued whilst working in theatre, performance and in wild landscapes with movement practice of Body Weather. Training in Holistic Massage at BCMB during the pandemic confirmed to me how important and necessary touch and human connection is. I’m so pleased we can now share that again.
I am fascinated by the different physical and mental states people can enter and am curious to explore deep relaxation and release with my clients. Listening to each individual and creating a person centred treatment has been key to my training and subsequent practice. I always aim to bring connection, care, presence and intuition to our sessions together.
Specialisms: holistic massage, deep tissue massage, Swedish massage.

Sonia Meadows MTI
I began my first steps in massage training with Nigel in 2013 before qualifying in Holistic Massage through the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork in 2014.
I undertook additional training focusing on specific aspects of the body and emotional processing giving me a wide range of skills and techniques to draw upon. I enjoyed working at major festivals and events.
I love that every client is completely unique with their own challenges and requirements informing their session. I enjoy the combination of working with my hands but also using my mind and intuition together with being present in the moment with the client providing the treatment they have asked for. Working in massage is the most fulfilling thing I have ever done and has really opened up my world to many fantastic experiences and people.
