There are many styles of massage, each with its particular benefits. I have trained extensively in massage and bodywork and have taught massage in the UK and abroad.

I have trained in:

  • Thai Massage

  • Hot/Cold Stone Massage
  • Herbal Compress Massage
  • Cupping Massage
  • Hopi Ear candling

My approach: I have developed my own unique style of massage which integrates techniques from many different traditions. I further adapt my treatments to match the body type of my clients and their personal preferences.

The benefits of massage: Massage is an art as well as a science. I work intuitively with massage, working with what presents itself on the day of the treatment. Each treatment is different in character as there are so many different techniques that can be used in massage. I don’t limit your massage treatment to a ‘massage routine’. Your massage treatment will be deeply relaxing and invigorating while at the same time I will ensure that I make time in your treatment to work on specific areas where detailed massage work is needed to resolve pain and imbalances.

Many people come for massage because they have physical problems, such as back pain, neck or shoulder pain or pain in their knees or legs. Massage is also good for stress relief and most of my clients come regularly for a massage treatment to help them de-stress from daily life or to keep their body in peak condition and to treat and prevent sports injuries.

High standards of Care: I pride myself on the high standards I keep for my clients. The best quality organic oils and products are always used for massage treatments to achieve the highest therapeutic benefits. To ensure your comfort, quality products like tempur tm memory foam face cradles and wide massage table are used. The treatment rooms are warm, clean and comfortable to ensure that you have the best experience possible.
