*I offer a wide range of massage modalities. Something to suit everyone, see the drop-down tabs for a description of each.

**Sessions can be personalised to your heart's content: aroma oils, Indian-head oils, sports massage wax, or Hot Stones can be used in any other massage.

Sports Massage

Sports massage can be executed as a whole-body deep tissue maintenance massage but is most often applied to specific problem areas to reduce pain and increase function.

I have practised sports massage for years and I am highly qualified in it. I have worked from my home clinic treating a varied clientele and for the Plymouth Argyle first team as a sports and massage therapist. This therapeutic approach is ideal for boosting sports performance and aiding in rapid post-workout recovery.

Songbird Wax - The gold standard for sports massage. This massage wax is 100% natural and has a subtle lemony aroma. It provides the perfect level of grip for deep tissue work and contains healing herbal extracts of Arnica, Calendula, and Hypericum. 

I have other oils available for those with skin sensitivities. 

Treatment Time - 1hr/1.5hr
**Full body sports massage requires a 1.5hr appointment

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is all about the flow: combining techniques to calm the nervous system and relieve muscular tension. It is one of the most relaxing and comforting messages.

I offer a 1hr half-body (upper or lower) or 1.5hr full-body appointments. The half-body is good if you want to relieve tension in either your back and neck or lower body. Lower body can be great as a post-workout recovery aid.

Indian-Head Massage

Indian-head massage oscillates between invigorating and deeply relaxing and concentrates on the upper back, shoulders, neck, and head. This soothing treatment not only relieves stress but also enhances mental clarity, increases scalp circulation, and nourishes the hair. 

Indian-Head Massage can help to prevent back pain, tension headaches and migraines, promote hair growth, improve sleep, and relieve symptoms of anxiety or depression.

*This massage is seated rather than lying down and is therefore a great option for those who find lying on their front uncomfortable. 

**Traditionally used as a deep scalp and hair treatment, the warm oil can be poured onto the scalp. A disposable towel is then provided to wrap the hair and conceal the oil if this is required. Alternatively, you can choose to have this treatment without oil, it is still beneficial for the scalp as circulation is increased and tension is released.

A range of traditional Indian oils are available and frequently people choose two or three different oils, one for the upper body, one for the scalp, and another for the face. 
Mustard Seed Oil - Stimulates circulation, promoting muscle relaxation and easing tension. When applied to the scalp and hair, it nourishes and strengthens, fostering lustrous locks. Additionally, its natural anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent choice for facial treatments, providing a rejuvenating and moisturizing experience.
Sesame -  A holistic marvel, offering a spectrum of benefits for body, scalp, face, and hair care. When used in body massage, it deeply nourishes the skin, leaving it supple and rejuvenated. Its application on the scalp and hair provides a natural shine, while its nutrient-rich composition fortifies strands from root to tip. On the face, Sesame Oils' antioxidants and moisturizing properties create a radiant glow, making it a versatile choice for overall skin health.
Jasmine -  A sensory delight, bringing a touch of tranquillity to body, scalp, face, and hair care rituals. Its fragrant essence elevates the massage experience, promoting relaxation and well-being. When applied to the face, its natural antibacterial properties cleanse and soothe the skin, leaving it rejuvenated and radiant.
Coconut -  A versatile elixir for holistic care, addressing the needs of the body, scalp, face, and hair. In body massage, it deeply moisturizes, leaving the skin soft and supple. When applied to the scalp and hair, Coconut Oil nourishes and strengthens, promoting healthy strands and a hydrated scalp. As a facial treatment, its moisturizing qualities and antioxidants contribute to a vibrant and youthful complexion.
