how I work

Each massage is tailored very specifically to your needs, whether you want light or deep pressure, full body massage or focus on a specific area such as the back.

A case history is taken to help us determine what kind of massage you need (if you have had massage before we will also discuss what you have found works for you), and whether there is anything about your health that we need to take into consideration during your massage.

You will then be asked to remove as much of your clothing as is necessary - and comfortable for you - to carry out the massage, and to lie down on the treatment couch. You will be completely covered at all times apart from the part of your body being massaged.

holistic massage

This is a combination of flowing strokes and healing holds and is ideal when you want to relax and rebalance.

deep tissue massage

This type of massage is also very relaxing but focuses much more on relieving deep tension in the muscles using finger, knuckle and elbow pressure. It can be difficult to find good quality deep tissue massage that is deep and thorough enough to truly relieve chronic muscle tension. I am very experienced at finding and working out even the most stubborn knots whilst not exceeding your pain threshold!

healing touch

Quality of touch can make or break a massage and is something I place great emphasis on during a treatment. Even a deep tissue massage doesn't have to be rough or abrupt: a good therapist will retain their sensitivity however much pressure they are using.

As well as deepening your level of relaxation, sensitive healing touch can help us to rebalance and centre and come back to ourselves in a very profound way.

 

your session

You can also combine your session with a Reflexology or BioEnergiser treatment.

How often?

Some people only need an occasional treatment to keep them relaxed and flexible, or to give themselves a treat. Others will find that they need a series of regular sessions in order to release chronic muscle tension or to fully de-stress. Once you've had your first massage, we can work out a schedule that's right for you.
