On a personal note, I'm not just a dedicated therapist; I'm also a mother of two wonderful boys. Through first-hand experience, I've come to deeply appreciate the importance of making time for yourself. It's all about finding that delicate balance that enables you to tend to your own needs, thereby allowing you to be the best version of yourself for your family. Self-care, in my view, is a valuable investment in your well-being and your ability to shine as a parent and an individual.

“My passion for massage therapy is rooted in the joy of healing, my fascination with the human body, and the privilege of making a profoundly positive impact and change in my clients' lives.”

Deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. It is designed to target specific areas of tension, pain, or injury. I will use slow strokes and deep pressure to reach these deeper layers of muscle and tissue.

The benefits of deep tissue massage are numerous. It can help to reduce chronic pain, increase range of motion, improve posture, and decrease muscle tension. It can also help to break up scar tissue and improve circulation.

Therapeutic massage

Therapeutic massage is a type of massage that focuses on treating specific areas of the body that are experiencing pain or discomfort. It involves the manipulation of the body's soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments, to help alleviate pain, reduce stress, and promote overall relaxation. In addition to reducing pain and promoting relaxation, it can also help to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and boost the immune system. Some studies have even suggested that therapeutic massage can help to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

With regular sessions, you may find that therapeutic massage can help to improve your overall health and well-being.

Pregnancy is a time of immense change, both physically and emotionally. Pregnancy massage is a wonderful way to support and nurture the mother during this time. It is a gentle and safe form of massage that is tailored specifically to the needs of pregnant women.

One of the key benefits is the relief it can provide to the aches and pains specific to pregnancy. As the body changes to accommodate the growing baby, it can put a strain on the back, hips, neck and shoulders. Pregnancy massage can help to ease this strain, providing relaxation and a welcome rest. It can also improve blood and lymph circulation, reducing swelling that can be a problem for many women, particularly in the feet and arms, as well as improving your quality of sleep, as the tension in muscles is relieved.

“Pregnancy massage is a wonderful way for expectant mothers to relax, connect with their baby, and support their body during this time of change and growth.”

With a new baby to care for and nurture it can be hard to find some precious time to yourself but keeping yourself healthy and happy is even more important now.

Postnatal care for mothers is just as important as prenatal care. Postnatal Massage can not only help you recover from the physicality of childbirth, it can also help you cope with the challenges of caring for your baby. Postnatal massage can assist in you returning and restoring your body with an aim to help improve energy levels, balance hormone levels and mood.

Over the past nine months your body has undergone a long, beautiful and intense journey, growing and carrying your baby. It now has to readjust and accustom itself to life with a newborn. Lifting and bending, feeding in awkward positions and broken sleep can all take its toll on the body, both physically and mentally.

Massage can help to target and release points of tension, aches and pain as well as assisting in realigning your body and posture back to its pre-pregnancy state. Massage aids the body to heal physically, but also provides a little time and space for you.

As a new mother your focus and energy is mainly on your baby. Taking an hour or 90 minutes out to consider and focus in on your needs both physically and mentally (or even just to sleep!) can be restorative and a much needed time out for yourself.

Consider booking a postnatal massage to support your physical and mental health during this exciting and challenging time.

“As a new mother, it's essential to prioritize your own needs and make time for self-care.”

Myofascial Release is a therapeutic technique that delves deep into the intricate network of fascia, the connective tissue that envelops and supports our muscles. This gentle yet profound method aims to alleviate tension, pain, and discomfort in the body. By applying sustained pressure and stretching, myofascial release helps to release restrictions within the fascia, restoring mobility and promoting overall well-being.

One of the remarkable benefits of myofascial release is its ability to provide relief from chronic pain conditions. It is particularly effective in addressing issues like fibromyalgia, sciatica, and repetitive strain injuries. By targeting fascial adhesions and knots, this technique can reduce muscle tightness and enhance flexibility, leading to improved posture and reduced pain.

Furthermore, myofascial release promotes a deep sense of relaxation. As the therapist works on releasing tension within the fascia, it often triggers the relaxation response in the body. This not only eases physical discomfort but also has a soothing effect on the mind, reducing stress and anxiety.

“Myofascial release is a holistic approach to wellness, nurturing the body's natural ability to heal and restoring a warm sense of comfort and balance.”

How do I pay for my treatment?

I ask for a prepayment via bank transfer to secure your booking. Payment details will be sent to you by email when you book.

Can I move or cancel my treatment?

Yes, all treatments can be rescheduled or cancelled and your fee will be fully refunded up until 24 hours before a treatment. Missed treatments, cancellations or changes made within 24 hours of the treatment time, will be charged at the full fee.

Can I buy a Gift Voucher?

Yes, absolutely you can! Gift vouchers make lovely presents. You can buy vouchers for 60 and 90 minute treatments. Vouchers are valid for six months from the date of purchase.

Can I receive a massage if I'm pregnant?

Yes, it's usually safe to have a massage during pregnancy. Please check with your midwife or doctor first.

Some women prefer to wait until after the first trimester, as the risk of miscarriage is higher during this period.

When can I book a post natal massage?

After a vaginal delivery, you can have a gentle massage when you're ready. For a caesarean delivery, wait until after your 6 week check with your doctor to ensure the scar is healed. Please inform me of any medical conditions.

Are there any medical conditions or situations in which I should avoid getting a massage?

Certain medical conditions such as contagious skin conditions, recent surgery, or severe medical conditions may require you to postpone or avoid a massage. Please do inform me of any health concerns before your session.

Is it normal to feel sore after a massage, and how long does this soreness typically last?

It's common to experience some soreness after a massage, especially deep tissue or intense massages. This soreness is usually mild and short-lived, lasting up to 24-48 hours. It's a sign that your muscles are responding to the therapy, and it should improve.

Do I need to undress for a massage, or can I keep some clothes on?

Most massages are performed with clients undressed to their comfort level. You will be appropriately draped with a sheet and only the area being worked on will be exposed. You can absolutely discuss your comfort level with me.

Can I talk during a massage, or should I remain silent?

The level of conversation during a massage is entirely up to you. Some people prefer to remain silent and relax, while others may want to chat or provide feedback on pressure and areas of focus. It's your time, so feel free to tell me what you need.

What should I wear to a massage appointment, and should I bring anything with me?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your massage appointment, as you'll be asked to undress to your comfort level. You don't need to bring anything specific with you. I provide all necessary equipment, oils and drapes for your appointment.

Can I eat before a massage, or should I come on an empty stomach?

It's generally best to avoid heavy meals immediately before a massage, as a full stomach can be uncomfortable when lying down. However, you don't need to be completely empty. A light meal or snack a couple of hours before your session is usually fine.
