Types of massage available.
Myofascial Release Therapy - a gentle but profound treatment, aimed at stretching and releasing restrictions in the connective tissue brought about by physical or emotional trauma and injury. Restrictions in the connective tissue can impede on many systems and organs of the body and when it creeps further into the tissues it can cause postural misalignment with the knock on effect of pain in other areas. In this treatment we aim to find the cause of the dysfunction and not just treat the symptoms. Postural analysis is part of the treatment. This is a very relaxing but effective treatment that involves some client participation, so you are involved with your healing process.
Swedish Massage - Holistic Massage - to treat the body as a whole, taking into account all the needs of the client. Treatment involves looking at medical history and lifestyle and possible cause and effect of problem areas. Massage given involves a variety of strokes, from gentle effleurage to invigorating petrissage strokes stimulating and releasing tense muscles, but relaxing body and mind, always done with a pressure that suits the client and aftercare advice given where appropriate.
Pregnancy Massage - The body undergoes many changes during pregnancy, often putting it under great stress, resulting in back aches and pain in the legs, this massage will address these areas and is done in the side lying position with great emphasis on comfort for the client with the use of towels, pillows and bolsters. A mother to be often has many concerns, worries and poor sleep, so any form of relaxation is always beneficial especially massage, a happy and content mother means a happy and content baby.
Deep Tissue Massage - Some times tension lies deep down in the layers of the muscles, and this technique is designed to address this problem with the added use of forearms, and elbows and stretching techniques to give a more deep down, intense treatment to relieve tension, aches, pains and knots.
Indian Head Massage - a delightful, gentle treatment to de-stress and relax the back and neck muscles, working into the scalp and face to soothe the mind and switch off from everyday problems and re-balance inner harmony. In a seated position this can be done through the clothes or with oils, and will last about 45 minutes, perfect at lunch time or at the end of a stressful day. Ideal for those who have trouble getting on and off a couch, and as a starting point to try the benefits of touch therapy and massage. Perfect for those working at a desk or computer for long periods.
The Potential Benefits of Massage- Improvement of the circulation
- Improved Lymphatic drainage and removal of toxins

How does massage work.
By using either gentle strokes or deeper therapeutic moves, the circulation is improved to all areas, carrying the life-force of nutrients and Oxygen to the tissues, it also aids the return flow back to the heart, releasing toxins and waste products. Massage also improves lymphatic drainage removing toxins and building a stronger immune system. When the muscles are tense the flow of these two systems is impaired and can lead to a variety of health issues, relaxing contracted muscles aids the whole body to function as it should, massage is the easiest way to look after yourself and restore homeostasis. In such a 'busy' world, we need to find time to relax and de-stress in order to be able to keep on top of all of life's demands. Living in a constant state of stress is living in a constant state of 'fight or flight' which is not a healthy recipe for well being. Massage is a fantastic way to relax, ease those aches and pains and have some 'me' time.
What to expect during a treatment.
Treatment is always preceded with a consultation. On the first visit a full medical/lifestyle questionnaire is given, in order to pinpoint just what it is you need (please remember to allow an extra 15-30 minutes for the first consultation), and that there are no contra-indications to massage. (Some times a GP's permission is required in the case of certain medical conditions). A treatment plan is agreed between us both, whether you just want relaxation or to work on a specific area of tension or pain.
Your comfort is of utmost importance , from extra large couch to soft covers, towels, and support pillows and of course attention to pressure and pain tolerance.
All massage is done using strict towel management proceedures to ensure your modesty at all times.

Treatment details.
Massage treatments can range from 1/2 hour up to 2 hours, my personal recommendation is the 1 1/2 hour 'top to toe' massage (truly holistic), most people need this long to really relax and switch off, but tailor made sessions can be arranged if you would prefer to have a specific area worked on.

About me
With a total of 18 years experience as a nurse, it's in my nature to be a carer, looking after and trying to help others, but so often I felt dismayed that orthodox treatments only seemed to look at dealing with the symptoms without looking at the needs of the person as a whole, mind body and spirit. This led to my growing interest in Complimentary Therapies over the last 25 years, with basic courses in Psychology, counselling and reflexology along the way, before training in the art of massage and further body work courses since then. So from the moment you arrive, to the moment you leave I aim to indulge all of the senses to give you the ultimate Holistic Massage experience of relaxation and therapy. Drawing on a variety of techniques I like to tailor the massage to the clients specific needs.
Clients have said that as soon as they enter my room, they feel they have entered a retreat, away from all the stresses of life, and already start to relax and wind down.
Working from home gives me the ability to create the right atmsophere and work hours that suit the client, when most clinics or spa's have finished for the day, I am still available ~ evenings and weekends. Residential free parking.
I believe passionately in the therapeutic and healing power of touch.
"looking after yourself couldn't be easier, just call, turn up and lie down!"
Testimonials:
'I have always been nervous about the thought of having a massage. I never thought I actually would have one. But circumstances in my health meant I needed to take action so I contacted Angela after a recommendation from a friend. I need not have worried! Angela immediately put me at ease with her wonderfully calm, warm and caring personality. She did a thorough assessment of my ailments and then set about working her way around every muscle in my body, releasing aches and freeing me of pain and tension. I was hooked from my first session and now have a massage every month as the benefits are so enormous. I work at a computer all day, every day - having Angela there to release all the tension in my back is a joy. My body functions better which means I function better. I have recommended her to many friends who have all come back singing her praises. She is simply the best. She is a master at her craft and I highly recommend her'.
Mrs C
'I suffer from painful shoulder muscles due to constantly carrying heavy rucksacks and stress. Every time I have a massage with Angela, I literally feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Whatever technique Angela uses, gentle massage or deep tissue massage, it always feels deeply caring.
I have recommended Angela to many of my friends and will carry on doing so.
Angela, thank you for your help'.
Mrs C. M.
'Angela has a natural talent and touch - she is able to sense what amount of pressure is suitable. I have suffered from back pain and after each session with Angela felt relief and pain-free. I would highly recommend her for her total 'body massage' she as goes one step further than the usual salon massage because she concentrates on joints as well as the muscles.'
Mrs S
'I arrived for my massage extremely stressed and full of tension. Shortly after getting comfortable on Angela's massage couch, with the tranquility of her treatment room engulfing my senses, I felt my tensions begin to ease. After a few minutes massage my body and my mind openly relaxed.
By the end of my treatment I was reinvigorated and restored to my previous energy levels.
Thank you for your continued service of excellence Angela'.
Mrs R
'I went to see Angela stressed, tired and in “knots”. Her welcome and friendly approach instantly put me at ease along with her lovely warm and tranquil room. Having previously had massages in salons, there was no comparison. No loud doors banging or young girls asking if you had seen the last episode of Corrie!
The time went far too fast and I was reluctant to leave. Angela, always calm and unhurried allows you time to “come back to earth”, no hurrying you out the door because the next client has arrived.
Everybody deserves an Angela in their life'.
Mrs H
'Sitting at a computer all day really takes its toll on my back, neck and eyes, I get a wonderful release of tension, and superb relaxation with Indian Head Massage, I just love having my head massaged and hair stroked, it's just bliss'
Miss G
'You did an amazing job at making me feel comfortable and relaxed during the session and I enjoyed the beautiful music played softly helping create a serene and calm atmosphere. The benefits of my massage soothed my muscles and joints and especially eased the aches and knots I had in my neck and back. You have a great awareness of the body and really understand to sooth each different part. I left feeling relaxed yet rejuvenated and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. You have a very professional manner and attitude.......thorough, sensitive and very effective. I will definitely be recommending your services to family and friends'.
Ms D.F.
Pregnancy Massage
'I was lucky enough to have several massages during my pregnancy with Angela, from about 6 months right up until 9 months. I had had the occasional massage in my previous pregnancies, but always felt that they were slightly less good than usual, due to the inconvenience of my bump. In contrast the massages with Angela seemed to be totally centred on the fact that I was pregnant, and thus tailored to my needs. In fact, the bump didn't get in the way, as she took care to turn me from side to side, so that I got a really thorough, relaxing massage. I did experience some back pain prior to the course of massages, but this disappeared after the first massage, never to return. The massages were extremely relaxing and I felt very comfortable at all times, both personally and physically. I think I always fell asleep towards the end, and wished they would last just a little bit longer! The feeling of relaxation stayed with me, and I found that I would sleep better for a few nights after the treatment. If I were to have another pregnancy, (which I'm not planning to!) I would definitely book a course with Angela, and would highly recommend her treatments to any other ladies who are expecting.'
