Swedish Massage
Swedish (holistic) massage is a relaxing, calming massage, using oils directly onto the skin, which help to reduce stress hormones and increase energy levels. It increases local blood supply and flow helping to nourish the skin and muscles with oxygen and nutrients, and aid in the regeneration of tissue. It helps to relax muscles, reduce pain and inflammation, tension and soreness, and improve lymphatic circulation and drainage, increasing flexibility and range of motion and confers benefits to the immune system, as well as the nervous, circulatory, endocrine, urinary and digestive systems.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue massage uses slower techniques to work deeper into the muscles to alleviate trigger points, knots and areas of tension.
Oncology (Cancer) Massage
Specialised massage tailored for individuals undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. Sessions are adapted to your needs, helping to promote relaxation, comfort, and a sense of well-being in a safe, compassionate environment.
Indian Head Massage
Indian head massage treats the head, shoulders, neck and face. It is usually administered seated in an upright position and can be performed with or without oils. It derives from Ayurveda techniques, which facilitates the release of tension, helping to induce relaxation and de-stressing.
Seated Acupressure Massage
Seated acupressure massage (chair massage) applies pressure onto acupressure points. It promotes relaxation and reduces tension. This massage is applied through clothing and does not require oils and includes the head, neck, shoulders back and arms.
An initial consultation must be completed and signed, prior to your massage.
We offer a free consultation.
Some conditions may be contraindicated for massage, and some may require your GP’s approval. If you are suffering from undiagnosed pain, we recommend consulting your doctor prior to having a massage.
We cannot diagnose your problem, and need to be aware of any relevant conditions prior to treatment.
Some conditions may contra-indicate locally and include; open wounds/cuts, bruises, burns, some skin conditions, broken bones and varicose veins. Massage may still be performed, but avoiding the area.
We are not able to offer massage if you currently have a fever, nausea, dizziness, a contagious disease, inflammation, kidney or liver conditions, uncontrolled hypertension, blood clots (DVT/PE), cancer, recent stroke or heart attack, undiagnosed pain, if you are pregnant, or if you are under the influence of recreational drugs or alcohol.
I am a fully qualified and insured massage therapist, and a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists.
I also have many years of experience working with individuals with neurological conditions, and mobility difficulties, making me well placed to offer massage to people who may otherwise have difficulty accessing complementary therapies. We have several moving and handling aides available to us and may be able to provide assistance onto and off of the couch, or provide a seated alternative.
