Our Services
Holistic Massage
While Sports Massage has become popular in recent years, and has its place in remediating specific injuries, it’s often more painful and uncomfortable and clinical in nature.
What many of us would benefit more from, is allowing our muscles to relax before being worked. If we remove tension, they return to their original length, allowing us to work into them more deeply if still needed, without much of the pain associated with Sports Massage.
Holistic massage considers your total self, and what you need to let go, physically or mentally.
Deep Tissue Massage
If your body is ready to receive it, Deep Tissue work can release locked fascia, undo knots and leave your body feeling like it’s been reset to where things should be.
It’s important to start with some relaxation work first, but if you really feel you prefer deeper work, we can carefully increase the depth and hold pressure for longer in key areas.
Typically we’ll have the massage table lower, so we can carefully lean into you with more bodyweight, all the time controlling the pressure with the other hand on the table.
Thai Floor Massage
I've taken inspiration from my recent Thai Yoga Massage course in Chiang Mai for this floor-based massage.
Traditional Thai Yoga Massage can be too intense for many, so I've adapted what I've learned to Western tastes, using mindful stretches and going as deep as you prefer. You don't need to suffer (though if you want to please ask for more pressure!)
Thai massage can help to unlock your muscles from your skeleton, while still triggering the parasympathetic nervous system. You are totally welcome to sleep!
Sound Experiences
On the first Sunday of every month we will be joined by Dan Johnson, an experienced and talented local musician and percussionist, performing Gong Baths and accompanying our Thai Inspired Yoga Massages with Gong and percussion to create a truly unique experience.
"The sound of the gong helps to induce Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwaves conducive to relaxation, restoration, insight and heightened consciousness. When played with intent, the gong becomes an instrument of profound healing on all levels." - Sheila Whittaker, Leading UK Gong Practitioner.”
