About Bernadette van Jaarsveld Holistic Massage Therapist

Hello there  

 I’m Bernadette, I own and run Jacaranda Holistic Therapies. I’m a proud South African but Norfolk has been my adopted home since 1997.   For the past 8 years, I’ve been perfecting a wide range of techniques to bring calm, relaxation and pain relief to my clients.   

Imagine stepping into a sanctuary crafted for relaxation and healing, where the weight of the world is lifted off your shoulders,  where you can release tension and find peace in your hectic life.  Where time is prioritized for you to recharge and regain your inner balance. 

With a fusion of time tested techniques to address both body and soul.  From gentle strokes and stretches to targeted pressure, each session is tailored to your specific needs, promoting harmony in mind, body and spirit.

Beyond the treatments, I offer time with a listening ear, a compassione heart and a judgment free space to share your thoughts, triumphs and struggles. Trust that your voice will be heard and respected during every session, fostering a sense of emotional release and empowerment.

Experiencing the profound impact of my quiet yet attentive approach, allowing you to decompress and let go.  Leaving my studio feeling a sense of lightness and calmness along with being reinvigorated, inspired and supported. 

  I didn’t set out to become a massage therapist.  After having my son, I took him to baby yoga and massage to reduce the stress I felt as a new mother.  I instantly saw the benefits, so decided to train myself.   Working with overwhelmed new mothers then led me onto training in Holistic Massage so I could help them. 

 I’ve found that massage can help with chronic pain issues, as well as overall wellbeing.   I specialise in holistic massage and while the word holistic has been taken to mean many things.   

For me, it means treating the body as a whole.   I treat whatever your body tells me and sometimes your emotions.  

While I offer specific treatments, I prefer to tailor it to your individual needs.   I love being able to help someone.   It’s a wonderful feeling seeing the difference in you from when you walk out to the you who walked in.   

You  can  find me  at  my  clinic  in  Great  Yarmouth or  in Norwich at   The Lanes Clinic.
