Deep Tissue

Deep tissue massage focuses on realigning layers of muscles, fascia, tendons and connective tissue deep within the body structures to reduce tension and stiffness and release adhesions. It involves applying firm sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to produce a whole range of benefits which can include:

improving blood flow and oxygenation of the tissues and reducing inflammation

breaking up scar tissue which can cause pain & restrict movement

improving postural imbalances through muscular tension release which aids better alignment & increased flexibility

relieving chronic tension, pain and tightness in muscles, particularly in the back, shoulders, neck and legs

aiding recovery from soft tissue strains or speeding up recovery from sports injuries

The treatment will always be tailored to your specific needs and work the areas that need it most.

Aromatherapy massage

Aromatherapy is a personalised, sensory treatment blending the therapeutic powers of top quality essential oils from aromatic herbs, plants and trees to create a bespoke blend to nurture both body and mind. Whether you are looking to unwind, alleviate pain, target a particular condition or restore balance, an aromatherapy massage offers a totally natural and effective way to support your overall health and well being.

After an initial consultation, a selection of essential oils, tailored to your individual needs, are blended with nourishing carrier oils and this unique blend is then used for a full body massage treatment. The massage technique is similar to Swedish, using gentle to medium pressure and involving kneading and smoothing techniques. As you breathe in the scents, they travel to your limbic system, the emotional centre of the brain, whilst being gently absorbed through the skin, creating a powerful multi-dimensional healing experience.

Please note that due to the powerful properties of the essential oils, there might be exclusions on oils used due to contraindications, such as high blood pressure, the use of certain medications, kidney or liver disease, epilepsy and respiratory issues. This will be discussed with the client during the consultation.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

MLD is a gentle, therapeutic technique that uses light, rhythmic hand movements to target the lymphatic vessels located just beneath the skin, encouraging the natural drainage of lymph fluid via the lymphatic nodes. Its gentle, targeted approach works directly with the lymphatic system and can produce a whole range of benefits which include:

reducing swelling and water retention

easing bloating and puffiness

boosting and stimulating the immune system

promoting detoxification and the removal of waste products

a reduction in stress, tension, anxiety and nervous system overload

supporting digestive and gut function

reducing sluggishness and lethargy and increasing energy and vitality

The treatment will always be tailored to your specific needs and work the areas that need it most.

For a more targeted treatment, MLD can be combined with the use of essential oils to boost its impact. For example:

Detoxification treatment - essential oils such as juniper, grapefruit, lemon and cypress can be used to support waste product and toxins removal

Fluid retention treatment - essential oils such as fennel, geranium, rosemary and grapefruit can be used to support a reduction in bloating and puffiness

Immune booster - essential oils such as thyme, frankincense, eucalyptus and sandalwood can aid in strengthening the immune system

Digestive cleanser - essential oils such as fennel, ginger, peppermint and sweet orange can support the digestive system
