With over 20 years’ experience, oncology massage was something I trained in very early in my career. I was fortunate to receive high-standard training in a luxury spa environment, which gave me a deep appreciation for the power of gentle, tailored touch.

Having an extensive knowledge and understanding of cancer and its treatments, I recognise how the lymphatic system can be compromised — and the importance of adapting care when there has been lymph node removal or other treatment-related changes.

It’s an honour to offer this treatment to those who truly need it, supporting comfort, relaxation, and emotional wellbeing at every stage.

My specialist training includes:
🌿 Made for Life Cancer Care
🌿 Christine Clinton Cancer Care
🌿 Cancer care qualifications with other respected brands

Every session is guided by compassion, understanding, and the belief that everyone deserves time to feel nurtured. ✨

Celebrating the beautiful Mrs. Grey 🤍

There’s something so special about working in wellness — not just the treatments, but the people. Being surrounded by women who lift each other up, who truly care, and who radiate kindness is everything.

What a joy to be part of this magical day with the gorgeous Skin Genie girls. A beautiful reminder that connection, joy, and shared purpose are the real foundations of wellbeing — in work, in life, and in love ✨

Menopause is not a moment—it’s a transition.
At The Wellness Retreat, we believe this chapter deserves the same care and attention as any other stage in a woman’s life.

Our specialist Menopause Massage Treatments are designed to support the physical and emotional changes that come with perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

✨ Why we offer this:
Menopause can impact sleep, increase anxiety, create muscular tension, trigger joint pain and leave women feeling disconnected from their own bodies. Massage is one of the most effective ways to support the nervous system, balance hormones naturally, and provide deep rest.

🌿 This isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about reclaiming comfort, improving circulation and lymphatic flow, and giving your body what it needs to move forward with ease.

Whether you’re navigating symptoms now or preparing for what’s ahead, our menopause massage sessions are here to support your journey—one treatment at a time.

📍Available in-clinic. Book via the link in bio or send me a message to find the right session for you.

This is a game changer.
PEMF Therapy and Red Light have been life-changing for me.

As someone living with Crohn’s disease, managing inflammation is a daily priority — and this is my go-to treatment to calm the body, support healing, and feel more balanced from the inside out.

It helps me stay grounded, energised, and connected to my health. My number one for reducing inflammation and honouring my body 💫

Puffy? Foggy? Drained?
If you’re peri- or post-menopausal, your lymphatic system could be the missing link.

Hormonal shifts slow down lymph flow, leading to:
• Fluid retention
• Tiredness
• Brain fog
• Inflammation

Lymphatic massage helps:
• Boost energy
• Reduce puffiness
• Support detox
• Bring back balance

Feel lighter, clearer, and more in sync.
Your body’s changing—your self-care should too.
