Deep Tissue Massage
– Gentle but deep massage for injuries, tight or frozen muscles –
This massage is ideal for muscular aches and pains, injuries, frozen shoulders, lower back pain and areas of chronic tightness. Techniques may include deeper pressure and pressure points, all tailored to your comfort level and individual needs.
Although this is a deeper style of massage, I work using medium pressure, focusing on releasing tension without creating unnecessary pain or discomfort.

Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage
Sore muscle buster!
If your shoulders are up around your ears and your back is feeling tight, tense and uncomfortable, this massage is for you.
The massage works on the areas where many people hold stress and tension most — the back, neck and shoulders. It can help relieve muscular tightness, headaches, stiffness, work strain and the effects of long hours sitting at a desk or looking at screens.
A great option if your body is asking for some attention and you’re ready to relax, loosen up and feel more comfortable in yourself again.

Pregnancy massage can help relieve back pain, muscular tension, tiredness and swelling while creating space for you to slow down, relax and connect with yourself and your baby. Treatments are adapted to your stage of pregnancy, comfort level and individual needs.
This is a beautiful way to take time out, ease the strain on your body and support you during this important time.

Chi Nei Tsang – Abdominal Treatment Massage
– Abdominal treatment that focuses on releasing tension, stress and stored emotions held within the belly area –
Chi Nei Tsang is a deeply restorative treatment that works with the abdomen and digestive area to support health of the internal organs. Not only does this help with digestion and elimination, but it also releases tension held in the muscles deep in the pelvic area which support the lower back and hips. It aids recovery after giving birth and also the reproductive organs.
This treatment can help you feel lighter, calmer, more grounded and more connected within yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can massage help with stress and anxiety?
A. Yes. Many people book a massage because they are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, or unable to switch off.
Stress doesn’t just affect the mind. It often shows up in the body as tight shoulders, neck tension, headaches, poor sleep, fatigue, shallow breathing, or a feeling of being constantly on edge.
Massage can help by reducing muscle tension, calming the body, and supporting the nervous system to move from a state of stress into a more relaxed and restorative state. Many clients report feeling calmer, sleeping better, and finding it easier to cope with everyday challenges after a massage.
While massage is not a treatment for anxiety disorders, it can be a valuable part of an overall wellbeing plan and may help reduce many of the physical symptoms associated with stress and anxiety.
For clients who would like additional support, I also offer a personalised pathway that may include massage, hypnotherapy, and practical tools you can use at home to help you move from stress and overwhelm towards greater calm, resilience, and wellbeing.
