What is Dermaplaning? ✨

Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses a sterile blade to manually exfoliate away dead skin cells and remove fine peach fuzz from the surface of your skin.

Benefits of Dermaplaning:
✅ Brightens dull, tired skin
✅ Improves skincare absorption for better results
✅ Creates a flawless, silky base for makeup
✅ Softens the look of fine lines & uneven texture
✅ Painless with no downtime

💖 Suitable for:

-Most skin types (especially dry, dull, or textured skin)
-Anyone wanting a radiant glow before an event
-Makeup lovers who want the smoothest finish possible

🚫 Avoid Dermaplaning if you have:
-Active acne (it can spread bacteria)
-Rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, or skin rashes
-Open cuts, infections, or very sensitive skin

Dermaplaning does NOT make your hair grow back thicker or darker! It only removes the fine surface hair and doesn’t affect the follicle underneath.

⏱️ Treatment time: Around 45 minutes

To sum it up…

Reflexology isn't a magic switch — but it does support the body by calming the nervous system, promoting relaxation, and creating the ideal conditions for oxytocin to flow naturally.

👣It helps you move into a parasympathetic (rest + repair) state.
👣It encourages the natural release of oxytocin, the key labour hormone.
👣 And that’s everything your body needs to feel safe, calm, and ready for labour to begin in its own time.

For any of my maternity clients looking for extra support in birth prep, hypnobirthing, or pregnancy swim classes, definitely check out Dawn’s page. She offers fantastic support throughout your pregnancy journey and is there with you every step of the way — no matter what your birth preferences are ❤️

Nervous about getting a spray tan or never had one before? 😬
You’re not alone — that’s why I offer a light shade in Lusso Tan, perfect for first-timers or anyone who wants a soft, natural glow without going too dark.

The lovely Shanie chose the light shade for her wedding day, and it gave her the most subtle, sun-kissed finish — just enough to enhance her natural beauty and give her that radiant bridal glow ☀️

Did you know the average career span of a massage therapist is just 5–7 years?
I’m now 8 years in – and trust me, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing.

Here are some things I’ve learned along the way – some the hard way. Over the last year, I’ve been figuring out how to juggle mammy life and running a business.

It’s been a journey of burnout, boundaries, big lessons and brave leaps – and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I recently rebranded and have fallen in love with my work all over again.

✨ Hello & Welcome to my new page! ✨

I’m Aoife, and have been qualified in massage for 8 years now. My job is to help people feel their best and give them the time out that is so needed in a world that moves way too fast.

While I love all of the treatments I offer, I have a particular interest in women's health, and my heart lies in pregnancy massage and reflexology. I feel so privileged to be part of this amazing journey and since having my own gorgeous baby, I understand on a deeper level just how physically and emotionally demanding pregnancy can be.

I offer pregnancy treatments from 12 weeks right up until labour, and all treatments are tailored to the individual.

I believe every person who comes through my doors deserves the space to feel supported, listened to and genuinely cared for.

I look forward to welcoming new and existing clients. DM to book or ask any questions ✨️

Thankyou to all of my wonderful clients who have been so caring and supportive during my pregnancy. I appreciate every single person who has come through the doors.

I'm hoping to be back mid/end of July to light duties an evening a week but will keep you all informed. Any vouchers (even ones that will be expired in next few months) can be used when I return.

Time to put the feet up and enjoy some time off before the arrival of our baby boy 💙👶
