Massage Treatments
Everybody holds the key to their own healing, but sometimes the body needs a little help. That’s where my treatments come in. As an experienced Massage Therapist, I work with you to heal your body and restore your balance.
I specialise in a number of treatment techniques, which I incorporate in my services to provide the best tailored treatment for you.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is primarily known for its relaxation effects. With this technique, applying light to medium pressure, it targets superficial layers of the muscles to help you to relax, relieve tension, reduce stress, and reduce light muscle pain, especially around the neck, shoulders and back caused by everyday activities, such as sitting at a computer.
Swedish massage can alleviate short term low back pain, neck and shoulder pain. It can treat anxiety and headaches, can decrease blood pressure related to anxiety, can improve sleep quality, and help with blood circulation.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage targets the deeper inner layers of the muscles using long and slow strokes applying firm pressure. Together with trigger point therapy, it targets deep muscle pain and stiffness to treat muscle injuries, chronic pain and stiffness, which can improve mobility and flexibility on joints. It can help to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue.
Deep tissue massage can be applied to the whole body or target specific problem areas of discomfort, perfect for muscle and tendon recovery.

Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massage is specially adapted gentle and soothing massage for the mother-to-be. It is designed to support the body and mind throughout a woman's pregnancy and provide relief from common discomforts that arise throughout each trimester.
Benefit includes easing of aches and pains; reduced stress and promotes relaxation; pain relief for the lower back, hips and joints; decreased swelling in the hands and feet; improved circulation and lymphatic drainage, which can reduce the risk of varicose veins and blood clots

It is important for pregnant women to consult with their healthcare provider before receiving a pregnancy massage to ensure that it is safe for them.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Your lymphatic system helps eliminate your body’s waste. A healthy, active lymphatic system uses the natural movements of smooth muscle tissue to do this. However, surgery, medical conditions, or other damage can cause fluids to build up in your lymph system and your lymph nodes, weakening your immune system and causing tissues to swell up.
​
Manual lymphatic drainage massage is a light skin stretching massage that helps to eliminate the built up fluid of toxins and excess waste, minimising tissue swelling. It should not be confused with a traditional massage. This is specifically focused on the lymph vessels to help the flow of lymphatic fluid. It can stimulate the immune system, increasing the body's own defences.
