I don't believe every ache needs the same massage routine. Sometimes the problem is muscular. Sometimes movement, workload, stress or recovery is adding fuel to the fire. Usually, its a but of everything.
I assess, start working and adapt as we go. If I think another technique could be useful - silicone or fire cupping, hot stones, targeted deep tissue work or something gentler, I'll explain what I want to do and ask you first.
My approach combines advanced massage and bodywork techniques with assessment, movement and holistic understanding of the body.
Less following a routine. More paying attention to what's actually happening.
For when your body isn't necessarily causing trouble - it's just tired.
A slower, flowing full-body massage focused on relaxation, general muscle tension and switching the pace down for a while. pressure can be adjusted, but this one isn't about chasing every knot I can find.
Ideal for:
For muscles that feel like they've been working overtime.
A firmer, more focused massage using slower deep-tissue techniques to work with a persistent tightness, stiffness and overworked areas. We can focus on a specific problem spots while still giving the rest of the body some attention.
Ideal for:
For when there's an actual problem you want to work on, and no, you don't need to be "sporty".
A focused, assessment-led treatment for pain, recurring tension, restricted movement and muscular problems. Well look at what hurts, what aggravates it and what may be contributing, then adapt the treatment accordingly.
Ideal for:
Pregnancy changes a lot, including where your body decides to ache this week. This is a comfortable, adapted massage with positioning and pressure adjusted throughout your pregnancy.
Growing a human is enough work. This massage doesn't need to be.
This is the one for switching off. A slower full-body massage using an aromatherapy blend chosen with you at your appointment, with flowing massage techniques focused on relaxation rather than fixing particular tension problem.
Ideal for:
No assessment. No problem-solving. Just permission to switch off for a while.
A quiet, hand-on energy therapy using traditional Reiki techniques. There's no massage and no pressure, you remain fully clothed while I work through a series of hand positions.
People book Reiki for all sorts of reasons: relaxation, reflection, emotional support, spiritual practice, or simply because they enjoy how they feel after a session.
Ideal for:
You don't have to understand Reiki, believe the same things I do, or arrive spiritually enlightened. You can just lie down.
A gentle massage designed specifically for younger clients, using comfortable, age-appropriate pressure and techniques. The focus is simple: helping tired, tense bodies relax in a safe and comfortable environment.
Ideal for:
A parent or guardian's consent and presence is required.
Warm basalt stones meet massage, and yes, they feel as good as they sound.
I use heated stones both as massage tools and alongside hands-on techniques, allowing warmth to be worked into tired, tense muscles. This can be a full-body relaxation treatment or include more focused work where you need it.
Ideal for:
This one works very differently from traditional massage. MLD uses exceptionally light, slow and rhythmic movements designed to encourage the movement of fluid through the lymphatic system. I use techniques based on the Vodder method, no deep pressure required.
Ideal for:
MLD isn't deep-tissue treatment and it shouldn't hurt to be effective. If you have diagnosed lymphoedema, unexplained swelling or a medical condition affecting your circulation or lymphatic system, please contact me before booking so we can establish whether massage is appropriate.
Cupping can be used alongside massage or as a more focused treatment. Depending on what we're working on, I may use traditional fire chops, silicone cups, or moving/gliding cupping rather than leaving cups parked in one place for the entire session.
Ideal for:
And yes, the circular marks can look dramatic. They usually aren't painful and typically fade over several days.
A targeted treatment using moving silicone cups over areas commonly affected by cellulite or lack of elasticity, such as the thighs, glutes, hips and arms. The cups are continuously moved across the skin rather than left static.
The aim is to support local circulation and fluid movement while working mechanically with the skin and superficial tissues. With regular sessions, cupping may temporarily improve the appearance and feel of cellulite affected skin.
