Deep tissue is a form of massage that focuses on releasing the deeper myofascial restrictions of the deeper muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body.
Deep tissue massage employs techniques that work below superficial connective tissue with the aim of breaking up old structural patterns and allowing the free flow of nutrients and oxygen to the blood.
I use deep and slow strokes to release chronic muscle tension. The key to releasing muscles is to go in really slowly, if you try to force the muscles or go into it quickly with strength, then the muscle usually will respond with resistance and tension, the opposite of what we are trying to achieve. Techniques employing the breath and movement are also used for releasing muscular tightness.
It also helps to free trapped nerves, oxygenate poorly circulated areas, and allow the spine and joints to relax into alignment. It also promotes the release of trauma, the trauma is held in the deepest layers of the body, so deep tissue massage can cause some extreme emotional releases.
Deep tissue massage is often painful initially. Toxins are being released from the tight muscles and muscles are starting to release. As you continue to have treatments you will find that the pain begins to ease, when your body is well it should be a painless experience.
Deep tissue massage is for everyone. Most people develop some negative postural habits. This can be due to repetitive activities or mental / emotional influences on the body. Many people have occupations that encourage repetitive postures such as drivers or desk-based workers. This often promotes gradual development of muscular imbalance leading to pain and tension. Also, those that often take part in activities that require a high level of muscular output often accumulate residues of lactic acid in their muscles, leading to stiffness and pain. All would benefit from deep tissue massage.

Manual lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, rhythmic massage that powerfully cleanses, relaxes, boosts immunity and provides natural pain relief.
The techniques facilitate the removal of metabolic waste, toxins, excess water, bacteria, large protein molecules and foreign substances. It relaxes the sympathetic nervous system, soothing your body back into safety, into 'rest and digest' mode.
It is an effective treatment for:
💜 Oedema
💜 Skin disorders
💜 Headaches
💜 Sinus congestion
💜 Sprains and aches
💜 Stress
💜 Digestive disorders
💜 Before and after surgery to remove tissue congestion and minimise scar formation.
Our diet stresses the lymphatic system with excess waste and toxins, as well as most of us not drinking enough fluids to keep the lymphatic system working efficiently. This is turn causes anaerobic metabolism which results in more waste and less energy. This is why anyone can benefit from manual lymphatic drainage massage. It can improve energy, increase cellular oxygenation and nourishment and build your immunity.
It is highly beneficial for the following conditions:
💜 People who regularly suffer from common viruses and colds
💜 Glandular fever and ME (Chronic fatigue syndrome)
💜 Migraines
💜 Sinus problems
💜 Hay fever and other allergies
💜 Pre/post operative cases (in particular when lymph nodes have been removed)
💜 Post cosmetic surgery
💜 Cellulite
💜 Digestive problems
💜Stress, anxiety and tension
💜 Acne, rosacea, scarring and skin conditions

Pregnancy massage is beneficial to both pregnant mothers' and their unborn babies, emotionally and physiologically supporting a woman through the many changes her body is experiencing and preparing her for birth.
As baby develops in the womb a womans body changes to accommodate the growth. Discomfort and pain can occur from the pressure put on her joints, ligaments and organs.
Massage can help alleviate aches and pains and reduce stress. Research shows that the baby can benefit greatly from the endorphins (feel good hormones) released by mum during massage as these are passed onto baby through their physical bond.
Receiving regular massage whilst pregnant can make mum more aware of her own body. This can help with the ability to relax in the 1st stages of labour. This has been shown to support shorter and easier births, less pain, and can lead to increased breast-feeding success due to increased prolactin and mammary development.
Specific benefits of massage in pregnancy:
❣ Stimulation of circulation - distributing essential nutrients and fluid around the body and to the placenta, feeding and aiding development of baby.
❣ Lymphatic drainage - eliminates toxins and reduces oedema (swelling)
❣ Sluggish bowel movements
❣ Releases muscular tension
❣ Releases compression on nerves
❣ Helps to avoid development of varicose veins
❣ Massaging of intercoastal and pectoral muscles - aids breathing during pregnancy and birth
❣ Induces deep relaxation and peaceful sleep
❣ Helps to reduce emotional stress, anxiety and creates a sense of well-being
❣ Helps to lower or keep high blood pressure in balance
❣ Encourages release of oxytocin - pain reducing hormone providing vital pain relief in labour and birth.

Indian head massage is a therapeutic massage technique that originated in India. It primarily focuses on the head, neck, and shoulders but may also include the upper back and arms.
This massage typically involves a combination of various techniques, such as kneading, tapping, and gentle pressure, to promote relaxation, reduce tension, and improve overall well-being.
It is often performed in a seated position and is known for its ability to relieve stress, alleviate headaches, and enhance blood circulation in the head and neck region. Indian head massage is both relaxing and invigorating, making it a popular choice for relieving the effects of modern-day stress and promoting a sense of balance and harmony.
I also perform this treatment lay down, but only have this option in my own treatment room, if that is your preference. It is a beautiful treatment either way.

This treatment combines techniques from Japanese and Indian facial massages, alongside acupressure and facial reflexology.

These massage techniques release stress and trauma locked deep in the muscles of the face, head and neck. Our face is often our mask, telling the world we are ok when perhaps we are not. Dropping this mask can lead to profound relaxation and inner ease.

Other benefits of these techniques include:

💜 increased blood circulation, enabling capillaries to deliver nutrients more efficiently to the skins surface

💜 stimulates the nervous system

💜 improved lymphatic flow, transporting bacteria and toxins away from skin cells

💜 strengthens and tones muscles, helping prevent sagging skin and fine lines

💜 repairs and balances the condition of the skin, minimising the aging process

💜 improves the health and appearance of the facial tissue

This massage is a hybrid of the ancient Oriental massage arts of Anma and Shiatsu.
It is a meridian based therapy whereby pressure is exerted over the various acupressure points on the main 12 meridians using thumbs, fingers, elbows and knuckles. It is applied to the back, arms, hands, neck, and head.
This technique helps to stimulate the circulatory, muscular, nervous, immune and lymphatic systems of the body, whilst promoting the release of endorphins, oxytocin and other mood enhancing neurotransmitters.
You will be left feeling good, feeling both relaxed and energised, with a clear, focused frame of mind.
This massage is performed over clothing. It is gentle and non-invasive making it suitable for everyone. The timing of the massage is flexible making it perfect for events and office environments. It is in fact brilliant for the office as employees will benefit from the quick and dynamic therapy, helping them to de-stress and return to their desk buzzing with renewed energy and innovation.

A relaxing or stimulating body massage, tailored to your requirements. I use all the techniques I have learned to give you the treatment that you require. I use deep tissue, advanced techniques, assisted stretching and swedish massage techniques where required. The reason this differs from deep tissue is that, generally speaking, deep tissue will be focused on those big muscles groups that work the hardest for us. Whereas, holistic massage will also include those areas, but also areas such as feet, stomach, head, etc.

I call my 90-minute version ‘Head to Toe’ as to get round the entire body I need 90 minutes, 60 minutes will get us round a lot of your body, but not all areas. However, if you don’t like your toes being touched, or your stomach being touched etc. then we discuss that beforehand and those areas will be avoided.
