Holistic massage tailored to your needs
A fully tailored holistic massage - this massage is negotiated with the client during the consultation and allows the freedom to focus on specific areas of the body for longer periods of time than the full body massage would allow.
Full Body Massage
A relaxing full body massage to soothe aching muscles and help your mind slip into a calm and peaceful state.
All full body massages are tailored to the clients individual needs on the day, so the focus and mood of the massage are negotiated during the consultation.
Head, Hands & Feet Massage
A soothing massage focussing on the feet, hands, head and neck.
This massage is very relaxing and gives special attention to the hard working areas of our bodies which often receive less time during the traditional "back" focussed full body massage due to time constraints.
As it can be carried out fully dressed - minus shoes & socks - this massage is also a perfect first massage for those completely new to massage or uncomfortable with undressing. Just make sure you are able to roll up trousers to the knee / remove tights.
As with all massages the Head, Hands & Feet Massage can be tailored to your needs and does not have to include all of the above elements.
Subject to which therapy room is being used this massage can include a foot scrub - please check when booking to avoid disappointment.

Lomi Style Massage
A flowing massage inspired by the traditional lomi massage practised in Hawaii. This massage is very relaxing and connects the whole body through long fluid strokes which follow the rhythm of the ocean waves. It includes stretching and rocking the body as well as gentle joint mobilisations.
Lomi style massage is not recommended as a first massage as it includes whole body strokes and the draping is slightly different to usual to facilitate this. This will be explained in more detail during the consultation and as with everything can be altered to suit the individual preferences of the client.
​
Mobile Massage
I offer a limited mobile massage service for those clients who for whatever reason are unable to come to a therapy room.
​
I do not currently bring my massage table to clients houses so this service is tailored to the needs of the client and the space / environment that they have.
A massage at home could include any of the following:
​
Foot & lower leg scrub and massage seated on a chair or the sofa.
Hand and arm massage seated on a chair or sofa.
Neck and shoulder massage seated in a chair
Scalp & facial massage whilst seated in a chair.
For wheelchair users where the back can be lowered some back massage may be possible depending on the clients mobility needs.​
​
Vulnerable clients need to have someone with them at all times during massage.
Note that I am not able to move clients so a carer would need to be available if the client requires mobility assistance.
I do not wish to unnecessarily exclude anyone from massage so please do contact me to discuss individual needs / circumstances - all home massages are tailored to the clients circumstances and I aim to work to find positive solutions to problems which may arise.
​
Lymph Drainage
I provide simple lymph drainage on its own or combined with holistic massage to encourage fluid in the lymph channels to circulate.
​
This treatment is very gentle and relaxing; it can be used to support the circulation of fluid around the body which is beneficial to the overall health and healing of the body, particularly as it can help to promote the flow of white blood cells around our body which are essential to our immune system.
​
It can be particularly helpful to help reduce swelling of the limbs caused by fluid pooling in one area, often the ankles.
​
Note that I cannot provide this treatment if the skin is weeping - please refer to your GP or specialist healthcare practitioner if this is the case.
