In Your Words

“Lucy, the founder of Orchard View Naturals, has long been Sarah’s go to therapist, with the most magic hands in the South West."  Sarah Stacey, Beauty Bible

"Since setting up her own therapy business in Somerset in 2006, Lucy has gone to great lengths to try and place sustainability and ethics at its very core. As well as making her own range of plant-based skincare products that form part of her natural treatment offerings, every aspect of her business has been carefully thought through and considered. Among many other things, Lucy uses a green energy supplier; prints her publicity leaflets on 100% recycled paper; uses biodegradable, plantable pencils to write her notes; wears ethically produced therapy clothing; uses blankets made from recycled plastic bottles; and cleans her treatment room with eco-friendly cleaning products from independent companies. She also sourced locally-made, eco-friendly paint to decorate her studio and reclaimed furniture, and has created an aromatherapy garden outside, to encourage birds, wildlife and insects. The fresh flowers and herbs she grows are also used to decorate and scent the therapy room." Federation of Holistic Therapists

“The fact you make each session individual for what is needed on the day for each client, from using herbs from the garden, to mixing your incredible skincare oils. It's not a 'one size fits all' approach, and this makes it feel so special. I love the fact that you have taken the time to think of every detail to make it as an environmentally sustainable space as possible, and this enhances the 'feel' of the room and the whole experience.” Tam Mason

“Had the most AMAZING facial last week. Lucy is just brilliant, genuinely cares about your skin, she chose the oils based on my skin type, felt totally spoilt! I also use the fabulous OV oils, revived and supple are my favourites. Thank you" Debbie Domoney

"A wonderfully relaxing experience. Lucy goes above and beyond to center each treatment to your needs." Helen Wild

"Lucy's facials are fabulous. She has a wonderful treatment room that oozes tranquility and is haven of peace. Her products are amazing. I have had several different types of facials from her and they are all wonderful. She is very gentle, caring and professional. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for something that bit extra and uniquely special."  Mary Chisholm

"A treatment with Lucy is as good as, if not better, that any spa day or retreat. Her wonderful combination of self-calm, luxurious and ethical products, peaceful clinic space and great skill makes a treatment with her an amazing experience. I would highly recommend her." Mary Rankin

“I have sensitive rosecea prone skin. So i'm very fussy about facials and skin products. I have no worries with Lucy. On my first visit she listened to my concerns and used a very simple nourishing oil, which made my skin look amazing." Zoe Harris

“The fact that you use your own oils has always been great, to me it shows you really know your stuff and that you put a lot of thought, time and effort in.” Steph Roberts

“More than a facial. The moment you step through the door and inhale the botanical smells that fill the air, Lucy’s calm, kind and professional approach has you feeling like you’ve stepped into another world. As Lucy starts to massage my face I feel myself entering a trance like state.” Gill Baker

Lucy is highly skilled in her skin, facialist, aromatherapy knowledge and support of sustainable healthcare and her unique, personalised treatments reflect that and more. I have really not had a better treatment, that is ultimately relaxing, personal and a proper treat as well as great results for your skin." Nicola B 

"Lucy's treatments are sublime!!! Like a holiday, full of sensory delights along the way. This is much more than a facial, it's a magical, personalised journey that leaves you feeling glowing, energised, happy and nourished." Hannah

"Hands down the best facial I have had! Lucy creates such a relaxing space and experience from start to finish and my skin still feels amazing a week later." Amy Rhian

“The face massage has so many benefits. Your skin feels and looks amazing, even more so the next day, and is the most relaxing treatment I have ever had.” Jenny Johnson
