During massage treatments, therapists use different techniques, applying pressure and movement to the soft tissue in your body such as muscle, tendons, ligaments, and fibrous tissue, to ease tensions and pain.

Holistic massage is a wonderful full body treatment, providing an overall sense of wellbeing by relieving the build up of day to day tensions and stresses. This massage uses a gentle soothing touch and is a great way to aid relaxation.

Deep Tissue Massage is brilliant for targeting specific areas/ muscles that are tight and tense, as well as for those who prefer a deeper level of contact. Compression as well as longitudinal and cross fibre muscle work is applied, with increased pressure on areas that require it – I may use my elbows / forearms as well as fingers thumbs and heel of my hands to access the deeper muscles.
The ‘deepness’ is entirely dependant on your comfort levels and a dialogue is encouraged to tailor the massage to your individual needs and preferences.

Hot Stones Massage is a truly luxurious treatment using warm stones and massage oil. A variety of smooth stones are used – these have been selected for their size, shape and ability to retain heat. The stones are warmed in hot water and are placed on specific locations on the body as well as being held in the therapist’s hands when they are used as a tool to massage with. The gentle heat is an aid to enhanced muscle relaxation and adds to an overall sense of comfort and well being.

Indian Head Massage is a wonderfully calming treatment that is performed on the scalp, head and tissues on the neck upper back, arms and face and is able to be either relaxing or invigorating depending on what feels right for you.
For this treatment you would remain fully clothed and sit on a chair and the use of oil is optional.

Chair massage is an option I offer for workplace settings. An ergonomic chair is used which provides access to the back, shoulders, neck and head, allowing for a comprehensive massage to reduce stress and tension and alleviate aches and pains ~ please see corporate massage tab/ page for full details.
