A Bit About Us
Our History
Since opening in Latchford in 2020, Ottoman Massage Retreat has become a trusted place for those seeking authentic, results-driven massage therapy. In that time, Halil has delivered over 8,500 treatments, helping clients relieve pain, ease tension, and restore balance.
Trained in his native Turkey, Halil brings over 23 years of experience working in hospitals, hotels, spas, and as a trainer for future therapists. His background means his style is quite different to that of a UK-trained therapist — drawing on the world-famous traditions of Turkish massage, known for its unique techniques and proven effectiveness.
Expect a treatment that is firm, focused and more intensive than a standard massage. It’s this distinctive approach that keeps clients returning time after time — and recommending Ottoman Massage Retreat to others.
Halil is a registered member of the National Association of Massage and Manipulative Therapists (NAMMT), a professional body recognised by the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). The CNHC, established with support from the UK Government, upholds a national register of practitioners who meet rigorous standards of training, competence, and insurance.
Our Oil
Our standard massage medium is olive oil. It is recognised for its moisturising and skin-nourishing properties, as well as its ability to support muscle relaxation, improve circulation, reduce stress, and assist with pain management and sleep quality. Clients with known allergies are advised to confirm the current oil in use prior to booking.
