Lomi Lomi Nui

This traditional ancient Hawaiian full body massage focuses on relaxing both the physical and energetic body, clearing energetic blockages which are often the source of physical and emotional ailments. It is a most nurturing, soothing and healing experience.

This practice uses the hands and forearms for long, continuous, rhythmic strokes, mimicking the ebb and flow of water, to encourage the flow of energy throughout the body in combination with breath.

The benefits of this massage are above and beyond anything I have ever experienced - relieving physical pains like muscle soreness and stiff joints as well as encouraging the release of negative emotions like anxiety and fear.

I highly recommend a minimum booking time of 90 minutes to maximise the benefits of this treatment.

Warm Bamboo Massage

Bamboo massage originates in Southeast Asia. Therapists have been using heated bamboo sticks for centuries to treat muscle tension and pain by applying pressure with reeds of differing sizes and thickness.

I use heated bamboo sticks in combination with Lomi Lomi massage and/or classic massage techniques to enhance its effects: heat and massage combined warms and softens the muscles, usually resulting in deep relaxation while soothing aching muscles. It further improves circulation thereby helping eliminate toxins and waste. It encourages the flow of Qi (energy) throughout the body.

Please note: Bamboo require heating for 90 minutes prior to use – please specify when booking

Aromatherapy Massage

A blend of essential oils derived from plants is used to improve physical and emotional well-being. Oils have been used for their health benefits (physiological and psychological) for centuries.

They are readily absorbed by the skin and effective through inhalation to promote positive health.

I use intuitive blending, taking into account your needs, personal preferences and medical history, thereby creating a bespoke and personalised blend - your attraction to scents will dictate your blend. Often you will be naturally drawn to the oils which offer the effects needed.

I offer aromatherapy with Lomi Lomi massage as a full body treatment. As the consultation for a bespoke aromatherapy blend takes a little more time, I highly recommend a minimum booking time of 90 minutes to maximise the benefits of a full body treatment.

Dry Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Cups are placed on the skin to create suction. It is the art of "creating space" between the surface of the body and deep tissue layers to allow blood, lymph and Qi (energy) to flow freely.

I use cups in combination with Lomi Lomi massage and classic massage techniques to enhance its effects: drawing deeply held congestion from soft tissue, meridians, organs and facilitating its dispersal thereby relieving tension, dispersing lactic acid, relieving pain and oedema while aiding circulation and boosting the immune system.

Please note that cupping therapy is highly likely to leave marks on the skin for up to a week and more, varying from person to person and treatment to treatment.

Fascia Release Therapy

Fascia release is a therapeutic approach which supports the body's natural ability to heal and restore balance. Fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones, nerves and organs. It carries the imprints of our life experiences. Energetic pathways (meridians) run through the fascia hence this therapy helps with physical imbalances as well as emotional and energetic imbalances.

It is a gentle, sustained-pressure technique that focuses on unwinding adhesions in the fascial system. Restrictions in the fascia due to trauma, inflammation, injury, poor posture, repetitive movement or emotional stress can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, limited mobility and dysfunction. We are said to hold our trauma, physical and emotional, in our fascia.

Key Effects:

Releases deep-seated tension and restrictions in the fascia

Reduces chronic pain, stiffness and discomfort

Improves flexibility, posture and range of motion

Supports nervous system calming and stress relief

Enhances circulation and tissue hydration

Encourages body awareness and mind-body connection

Promotes emotional release

Restores balance and ease of movement throughout the body

Your session:

Consultation to discuss needs, areas of tension and any intentions/expectations.

This is a fully clothed treatment – please wear comfortable clothes.

No oil is used to allow precise, sustained non-invasive light to deep pressure (typically held for 3–5 minutes or more); movements are slow and mindful, allowing the tissue time to soften and release naturally.

Many experience a deep sense of relaxation, warmth or gentle sensations as the body unwinds. Emotional release or a feeling of spaciousness may also arise as long-held tension is released.

Please be aware that release is unique to each person - it may be physical, emotional, energetic, or a combination.

Gentle hydration, rest and mindful movement are encouraged to support the integration of your treatment.

Hot Stone: Basalt or Himalayan Salt

Stones have been used for centuries and are believed to carry grounding and restorative properties hence it is perfect for times when feeling stressed or disconnected. Hot & Cold Stone Treatments offer a nurturing experience that calm the nervous system, quiet the mind and leave you feeling deeply relaxed, balanced and renewed.

The equivalent of a Deep Tissue Massage without its intensity, hot stones soften and loosen the tissue thereby melting away tension. The warmth of the stones penetrates deeply into the muscles, encouraging circulation, easing muscle tension, supporting detoxification thereby allowing the body to release stress without the need for deep pressure and restoring balance to body and mind.

I use hot stones in combination with the long flowing strokes of Lomi Lomi to promote relaxation, improve energy flow and support the body's natural healing processes. This soothing therapy is especially beneficial for those experiencing muscle tension, stress, anxiety, fatigue or difficulty relaxing.

Himalayan Salt is one of the purest form of salt containing 84 naturally occurring minerals and elements. These are hand-mined deep in the Himalayan Mountains, free from modern day pollutants providing antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Compared to the intense and deeply penetrating heat of basalt stones, Himalayan Salt Stones offer a more gentle, diffused and nurturing warmth to improve circulation, for muscle relaxation and stress relief. They provide mineral absorption, gentle exfoliation and a detoxifying, grounding effect – leaving the skin silky smooth.

Choose either smooth, heated Volcanic Basalt Stones or heated Himalayan Salt Stones for your experience.

Please note: Stones require heating for 90 minutes prior to use – please specify when booking

Back/Neck/Shoulder & Scalp Massage

Massage of the back, shoulders, neck and scalp to relieve tension. 

Treatment for aches and pains in back, shoulders and neck as well as for headaches. This massage helps improve physical, mental and emotional health.

This treatment will always be tailored to your needs and emphasis placed on the areas you wish to treat. 

Reflexology

Reflexology works on the principle of the whole body being connected. The feet are mini maps of the body's anatomy. By applying pressure to "reflex" areas in the feet, the corresponding parts of the body feel the benefit.
Reflexology stimulates the body's own healing process to bring the body into a balanced state. It encourages a state of relaxation allowing the body and its systems to release tension and toxicity, thereby promoting healing.
This treatment aims to reduce the feeling of stress, calming and soothing mind and body. It creates a feeling of well-being, encourages elimination of waste and toxins, improves circulation - amongst many other health benefits.
