Massage is a wonderful way to completely relax and to disconnect from life’s stresses and strains. The laying on of hands, moving in the direction of the heart, whilst applying a degree of pressure is known for its natural healing effects on the body, and easing the mind and emotional state.

Massage involves the manipulation of the body’s soft tissues to target physical, functional, mechanical, and emotional benefits. Movement in a therapist’s hands, fingers, elbows and body weight helps alleviate pressure, tension and stiffness, by easing the muscles. It increases blood circulation, creating an erythema on the skin. This is a slight reddening that indicates the sign of venous flow in the local area and improved skin tone. Massage re-oxygenates the body whilst encouraging the elimination of toxins, fluid, waste and acid build up in the body to drain via the circulatory and lymphatic system.

Benefits of massage:

• Improved blood circulation
• Increased lymphatic flow
• Treats muscle tension
• Reduces stiffness and tight muscles
• Helps digestive flow
• Improved well being
• Decreased stress levels
• Relieves psychological stress
• Improved sleep and mood
• Helps ease headaches and migraines
• Energizing

What massage would I benefit from?

Swedish massage

Is a regular pressure massage focusing on the main muscle groups. This benefits the top level muscles, improving the micro-blood circulation and lymphatic drainage systems. This is ideal for promoting well being and aiding relaxation. It also boosts circulation improving skin tone and helps reduce cellulite.

Deep Tissue

If you require a treatment with greater pressure, targeting muscle tension and stiffness on a deeper level then choose this massage.

I use a nourishing soya bean and wheat germ massage medium, suitable for all skin types.
