I'm fully qualified to the highest level in clinical aromatherapy massage (including anatomy and physiology), and an active registered member of the International Federation of Aromatherapists (IFA) and the Completmentary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). I went through intense theoretical and practical training, led by the legendary Marie Wayte of Rosewood college of Aromatherapy, one of just a handful of Aromatologists in the UK.
I work from my lovely airy and contemporary treatment room within my family home. I'm a friendly and professional therapist, and I strive to put all of my clients at physical and emotional ease and give them the best treatment possible.

Nourishing oils will be selected according to your skin condition, and used to massage your upper back, neck, shoulders, arms and face.

Indian Head Massage is normally conducted in a seated position, so is ideal for anyone who struggles with mobility, or are simply more comfortable in a chair. A very versatile treatment, it is a great therapy to easily incorporate within a corporate environment.

The main Benefits of Postnatal Massage include -- Promoting mental relaxation and reducing stress

It's really important for new mums to feel comfortable during postnatal massage (especially if you're still a little fragile), and so I do my best to ensure you're as comfy as possible. If you're breastfeeding, your breasts may feel a little uncomfortable, so I recommend expressing shortly before your appointment. This allows you to truly enjoy your treatment and experience much-needed deep rest and relaxation. Nourishing base oils and appropriate essential oils will be selected according to your needs, health and skin condition. Technique will also be adapted to your preferences and health, giving you a truly bespoke experience.
This is a great opportunity to some 'me-time', but if you do want to bring your baby, I advise that you book a longer appointment to allow for feeding if needed. (Please bear in mind that I'm afraid I will not be able to extend your appointment time.)
Aromatherapy Massage
What are the benefits?
For many different reasons, an overwhelming number of us suffer with stress, anxiety and depression at some point in our lives. With the ability to uplift, clear the mind of mental clutter and help alter your emotional perspective, aromatherapy massage can be particularly helpful for treating these conditions and other psychological and nervous system imbalances. In turn, it may help in the relief of associated physical conditions, such as insomnia, headaches, backache and digestive complaints. The use of essential oils can also be especially beneficial for hormonal imbalances and supporting the immune system.
Further possible benefits:- Easing muscular tension
- Reducing pain & inflammation
- Encouraging deep, calming relaxation of the body & mind
- Helping to improve the function of organs & body systems
- Improving blood & lymphatic circulation
- Reducing fatigue & increasing a sense of invigoration
- Improving postural awareness
- Improving mood, body-image & self-esteem
- Stimulating the body's natural ability to repair & renew at a cellular level
- The release of endorphins – the pain-relieving 'happy' hormones
- Improving skin condition

Pamper parties are a great excuse to get people together. It could be to catch-up with old friends, to get to know new friends better, to show off a new house, or just to do something a little different. It's also great for groups of pregnant ladies & new mums (babies are welcome!).

These will be carried out in the party space, so that you & your guests can pick up some tips and try mini-treatments on each other for a giggle if you like!

What Clients Say
Alex B., Lawyer - Walton on the Wolds
"I absolutely love my aromatherapy massage. I think I am relaxed before hand but it takes me to a whole new level. I get to the stage where I fall asleep sooner with every treatment. A 6 week course of treatments was the perfect way to get started and I felt the benefit from the start. I am a regular runner and my body feels better every time I have a treatment. I totally recommend Cath who is brilliant at her job."
Laura A-H., Civil Servant - Loughborough
"The treatments are so lovely and soothing, I always want more! Your hands are gorgeously warm, and some parts of the massage gives me goosebumps in a good way - It's so nice! I always feel very relaxed afterwards. The atmosphere is lovely and the soothing music really adds to the treatments. My skin is softer and more hydrated, and I feel emotionally stronger, happier and calmer. I'm in a good place!"
Joanne M., Photographer - Walthamstow, London
"Wow, it was amazing! I've never had a massage like that before, it was so soothing and relaxing. I feel really calm and stable in my mind. The smells were gorgeous, the heated couch was really nice and warm, and your hands are magic! My shoulder feels eased and looser. I wish I lived closer so I could have more!"
