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.

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.
