We believe everyone deserves to feel well in their body. Our treatments are here to help ease discomfort, reduce stress, and restore balance.

Hannah, the founder of Mederi was inspired to start the centre by her own floatation journey. A transformative float during a difficult pregnancy made her research and realise the full healing potential of floatation and sensory deprivation, motivating her to create a space for people to float in Oxfordshire.

It all began with Float Therapy.


Hannah’s own experience with pain management through floatation and the benefits she felt during and after her pregnancy extended through physical and mental health, giving her a deep sense of spiritual peace. The simplicity of this therapy is the crux of its effectiveness – by lying back and relaxing into the supportive float of the warm water, we are forced to reconcile with the stress and buzz of ever day life, finding peace in the here and now.
It was this experience that inspired Hannah to share floatation with others, and in time, the centre was born—right here in Garsington.

As Mederi’s journey evolved, an infrared sauna and an anti-gravity massage chair were added to support deeper recovery, circulation, and relaxation. Hannah also trained in crystal and chakra healing, offering gentle energy-based therapies alongside physical treatments.
Over time, a small collective of like-minded therapists joined her—each bringing their own unique expertise in reflexology, massage, reiki, craniosacral therapy, and more. Together, they’ve created a truly holistic space where body, mind, and energy are cared for in harmony.

At Mederi, we believe that wellness should be something everyone can access—not a luxury, but a vital part of living well. That’s why we’re committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive space where people from all walks of life can explore therapies that genuinely support their health and happiness. From floatation and infrared sauna to energy healing and massage, our treatments are designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re managing pain, struggling with sleep, feeling overwhelmed, or simply in need of stillness.

As part of our mission to nurture community wellbeing, we regularly host events, workshops —many of which are free or offered at reduced prices. These gatherings are more than just treatments; they’re opportunities to connect, learn, and experience something deeply nourishing in a supportive environment. We want everyone who steps into Mederi to feel seen, supported, and gently reminded that healing is possible.

Whether you're looking for deep relaxation, emotional balance, or a break from the demands of daily life, our door is open—and we’re here to help you feel more at home in your body and mind.

Meet the Team

  • Hannah Ireson

    FOUNDER

    Since founding Mederi, Hannah has dedicated herself to the healing arts. Her journey began with the exploration of Float Tanks, which was later complemented by crystal and chakra healing. Her approach is inclusive, reaching out to individuals who may not have a background in healing practices.
    She has just completed her breathwork course with Oxygen Advantage, enabling her to conduct both group and one-on-one sessions at Mederi.

  • Katie

    FLOAT FACILITATOR

    She embarked on her floating journey in 2019, amidst a seven-year battle with medical uncertainties and turmoil, (including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, neurocardiogenic syncope, inappropriate sinus tachycardia, anxiety, and depression).
    Having experienced the benefits firsthand, she wishes to spread the word and serve those in need.

  • Vivien

    MANAGER

    Vivien joined our team at Mederi in the autumn, bringing with her passion for health and wellness that has truly invigorated our dynamic work environment. Her dedication to promoting holistic well-being is reflected in her role, where she not only assists us with various tasks but also specialises in the transformative practice of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

  • Siobhan

    THERAPIST

    Siobhan brought her enchanting skills to Mederi earlier this year, captivating customers with her remarkable abilities. By seamlessly combining reflexology and reiki, she created a mesmerizing experience.

    Clientele at Mederi were deeply impressed by Siobhan's magical treatments. The exquisite fusion of reflexology and reiki not only revitalized them but also instilled a sense of renewal. Through her gentle touch and calming energy, she fostered a profound sense of tranquility and balance that persisted well beyond the session's conclusion.

    Siobhan works on Fridays and one Saturday per month.

  • Emma

    THERAPIST

    She holds a first-class degree in Occupational Therapy attained in 2018, demonstrating her expertise in physical health, mental health, and assisting individuals with learning disabilities.

    Her skilled hands offer two distinct services:

    a soothing holistic massage tailored for those seeking relaxation and a robust therapeutic deep tissue massage designed for individuals requiring intensive relief.

    Additionally, she specializes in cranio-sacral therapy, showcasing a diverse range of therapeutic skills at her disposal.

    Emma offers her treatments on Wednesdays.

  • Miranda

    AYURVEDIC THERAPIST

    Miranda’s journey into Ayurveda began in a small hut in a quiet field, during a consultation with a visiting Ayurvedic doctor from India. That profound experience sparked a deep connection with the ancient healing system and ultimately inspired her to train in Ayurvedic Massage.

    Guided by the Ayurvedic principle that true healing comes from balance within, Miranda lives by the mantra, "you cannot give what you don't have." She prioritizes her own wellbeing through daily meditation and self-care, ensuring she can support others from a grounded and authentic place. Her treatments draw on traditional Ayurvedic techniques to promote harmony in body, mind, and spirit.

    Miranda is available for Ayurvedic massage on alternate Tuesdays.

  • Byron

    REIKI HEALER

    Byron felt different from an early age; he now understands that a protective spirit guided him away from a fake and superficial life. In 2010, amid amateur boxing, he used the sport to cope with unease and won the Haringey Box Cup Championship in 2012.
    In 2015, he sought healing through a two-week Ayahuasca retreat, marking a significant turning point.
    By 2021, after a life-changing motorcycle accident that cost him his plumbing business and limited his mobility, he began a deep healing journey.
    Inspired to help others, Byron discovered various healing modalities, emphasizing the importance of belief in the healing process. He encourages others to explore Reiki for profound transformation.

    Byron is available on Wednesdays, and selected Saturdays.
    Please email us to book with him.

NOT all egos can die on the first float session 🤣 but the pods do a good job of putting everything into perspective. I've had someone float before that was so wound up by the world around them, the constant bombardment of the media impacting their health day in day out. Their mum was worried about their wellbeing at university and how much they might take to heart... this is where the float is magic. One hour to let go of everything that anchors you into stress, that goes through your mind and troubles it. This young woman sat calmly with her tea and you could just see the relief on her face and body she felt free from all the stuff that she couldnt solve 'right now' perhaps she would be at uni doing politics and could make the changes she felt necessary and be the voice she felt was miasing but when she was calm and thoughtful not stressed and angry. #indieoxford #thingstodoinoxford #garsington #oxfordlife #overthinkingkills
