Many people, when suffering from tension, will have pain in the muscles in their back. Tension often originates from the lower part of the skull, effecting muscles in the neck and upper back. This massage uses techniques used in Swedish massage, which can be tailored to your needs. Opt for a relaxing, easy flowing massage or a deep tissue massage to ease away aches, pains and tension. People suffering with back pain due to muscle tension or an old injury can benefit from this treatment.

Although the techniques are used on the upper part of the body, the benefits from this holistic treatment affect the whole body, as there are many physiological and psychological benefits. Many clients comment that they feel totally rebalanced after treatment.

Hot Stone massage, full body £55 (90 mins)
A holistic and therapeutic treatment. This treatment originates from Native American cultures, who heated stones by fire to use to ease aching muscles. I use basalt stones heated by water.

It helps to alleviate stress, aches and pains, releases toxins and improves circulation. This treatment is beneficial to everyone but can effectively help if you suffer with the following; muscular aches and pains, back pain, MS, arthritis, fibromlagia, circulatory problems, anxiety.

A wonderful treatment of feet and lower legs. This is a combination of acupressure, energy balancing and stretching exercises. This treatment also incorporates elements of Reflexology. The treatment is used to stimulate and balance the bodies systems. You can expect the treatment beginning with a foot soak. I will use Neal's Yard Remedies products. I will use an aromatic aromatherapy soak, a blend of Lavendar, Spanish Majoram and Geranium essentail oils, helping you to relax and unwind. I will also use Pumice Foot Scrub, to exfoliate, soften and smooth. This combines peach seeds and pumice with softening mallow and cleansing ginger. You will then receive a massage to the feet and lower legs. I will finish with Comfrey and Mallow Foot Balm to nourish and nuture.

Lymphatic Drainage Treatment
£28 (40 - 45 Minutes One or two areas of the body)
£33 (60 Minutes Three areas of the body)
£40 (80 minutes Full body treatment)

A wonderfully relaxing treatment. This treatment consists of light skin manipulation and stroking movements which triggers the lymphatic system to contract more frequently. I will also use rythymic pumping techniques to move the skin in the direction of lymph flow. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels, which carry substances vital to the defence of the body and removes waste products. MLD is often described as a 'spring clean of the body'.

Although a treatment working on the whole body can be offered, it is recommended that this not be offered as the first treatment. It is important to focus on one area and work up to offering a full body treatment following several smaller treatments
