Deep Tissue Massage - 60 minute treatment     £55.00
Deep Tissue is a form of massage that focuses on releasing the restrictions of the deeper muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body.  Considerable amount of pressure  is applied, using the elbow and forearm, which might cause some discomfort, but will always stay within the comfort zone of the client.  Athletes or sports enthusiasts, individuals with chronic joint or muscle injuries or strained muscles and joints, and individuals who suffer from stress would benefit greatly from this treatment.

Myofascial Release Massage - 60 minute treatment     £55.00
Myofascial Release is a specialised treatment that releases restrictions within the fascial network (connective tissue), enabling stuck, hardened and dehydrated areas to become pliable, soft, mobile and hydrated.  It is a treatment that involves gentle sustained pressure.  Myofascial Release can also increase energy, increase breathing capacity, restore muscle function and postural alignment and relieve physical and emotional strain.  It can also help balance the body and promote self-healing and relaxation.

Swedish Body Massage - 60 minute treatment     £55.00
Swedish massage is designed to disperse physical tension from the body in a gentle way by loosening tight muscles and reducing stiffness, removing energy blockages within the body and increasing blood and lymph circulation. Four soft tissue manipulation techniques are used: effleurage (long, gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading strokes), friction (deep, circular rubbing) and tapotement (tapping). The aim of the massage is to bring the body back into a balanced and relaxed state using soothing, rhythmical movements which promote a wonderful sense of wellbeing and relaxation.

Lymphatic Drainage Body Massage - 60 minute treatment     £55.00
Lymphatic drainage is a delicate form of massage that stimulates the body's lymphatic system. Very light pressure is used, combined with soft pumping movements in the direction of the lymph nodes. It is recommended for people who lead sedentary lifestyles, or those who want to reduce puffiness or swelling.

Hot/Cold Stone Body Massage - £60 minute treatment     £55.00
Hot stone therapy is a wonderful treatment for the body. This type of massage uses specially heated volcanic lava stones, combined with Swedish-style massage movements. The stones are warmed up to 52C in a special heater and are used to massage the client. This treatment helps the muscles to relax and let go of all the stress and tension that is held within the body.

Pregnancy Massage - 60 minute treatment     £40.00
Pregnancy Massage can be of enormous benefit not only to the mother but also to the unborn baby.  It can help alleviate aches and pains and other common health problems associated with pregnancy.  It can benefit the stimulation of the circulation and lymph drainage.  It can help sluggish bowel movements and releases tension.  The treatment can also aid deep relaxation  and reduce emotional stress.

Indian Head Massage - 30 minute treatment     £30.00
An Indian Head Massage is becoming increasingly recognised in the West for its relaxing and therapeutic effects. This therapy works on the head, face, neck, shoulders and upper arms which are all common areas where stress is felt. The treatment is given with clothes on, sitting in a chair.

Natural Face Lift Massage - 60 minute treatment      £55.00
A lovely relaxing treatment which works on many different levels.  It can help to improve skin suppleness, reduce expression lines and wrinkles, and relieve stress symptoms such as insomnia, headaches and eye strain.  The treatment can help tone and tighten the skin and underlying muscles.  It can help aid the removal of dead skin cells, maintain a fresh, youthful appearance and enhance mental and physical relaxation.

Reflexology - 60 minute treatment     £55.00
Reflexology is an ancient healing technique that maps the entire body onto the soles, tops and sides of the feet. This holistic therapy works on the principle that by massaging certain reflex points on the feet, it will greatly benefit the corresponding area within the body. As pressure is applied to these reflex areas, a greater balance can be promoted in the corresponding organs through energetic pathways.

Thai Foot Massage - 60 minute treatment     £55.00
Thai Foot Massage is a treatment of the lower legs and feet that involves hands on stretching and massage. A stick is also used to help stimulate the reflex points of the feet which correspond to the internal organs of the body and help promote general health and well-being.
