For over 5000 years Massage has stood the test of time for relaxation and restoration.
The best option for you will depend on personal preference and the type of relief you’re seeking, lets explore...
⭐️ Full Body Swedish, Deep Tissue & Trigger Point Massage:
Beginning with the classical therapeutic massage also known as the Swedish massage we look to uncover the root causes of discomfort, allowing the massage to evolve naturally and depending on what arises, by utilising some of the best modalities that have produced deep transformations over the last 20 years, this massage aims to meet your needs from the gentlest soothing strokes to the deep tissue pressure points for reaching those "nagging tension knots", creating a one of a kind experience.
⭐️ Ayurvedic Indian Head & Beauty Massage:
Based on the texts from 2000 years ago and being one of the first massage sequences to be recorded, it has earned its place as one of the most beneficial.
The Indian Head massage comes from the Indian medicine system called Ayurveda (science of life) where they believe the mind and body are intricately connected and improves not only scalp condition & facial beauty but also general physical and mental well-being. It focuses on the pressure points along the head, neck and shoulders with optional work on the face, whilst the client is fully or lightly clothed.
⭐️ Aromatherapy:
Aromatherapy massages are best for people who enjoy scent and want to have an emotional healing component to their massage. It combines soft, gentle pressure with the use of essential oils which are absorbed into the blood steam via the skin.
We can cater for the following themes; invigorating, relaxing/sleep, anti-allergy, cheerful, grounding, pain relief and chronic fatigue/burnout.
"Just one drop of essential oil contains thousands of molecules which are absorbed into the skin and show up in the blood stream in as little as five minutes and surround each cell within a short period of time. Plant cells have a similar structure to human cells, which is why essential oils are so soluble in the human body.
When essential oils are inhaled, the molecules pass directly into receptors in the brain where memories are stored causing stored emotions to be released.
These scent molecules may help the body relieve past traumas, anger, and resentment. That is why smell can bring back memories, like the smell of lavender reminding you of Grandma, cinnamon bringing back the smells of mom’s cooking, or the scent of perfume bringing back memories of a past lover.
Every time oils are inhaled the molecules pass directly into receptors in the brain where memories are stored, so old and repressed memories stored in the limbic area of the brain may be released; helping to heal resentment, anger, depression, and many other emotions."

⭐ Clinical Qigong (Wai Qi Liao fa/外氣療法) also known as “Needle-less Acupuncture” is an ancient form of Chinese energetic therapeutics.
Centuries ago the Qigong Masters found that there is Qi (vital energy) flowing throughout the meridians, the energetic pathways of the body. The energetic system is one of the many systems within the human body, others being circulatory, nervous, endocrine etc.
When this energy is flowing well, there is balance, and the individual enjoys inner peace, joy and vitality. When there are blockages in any of these pathways then the energy flow is disrupted, this can lead to physical and mental health issues.
Qi is like water, if a stream becomes blocked and stagnates, it can cause problems. This can be resolved by restoring the waters natural flow. The energy pathways of the body can become blocked due to a variety of reasons such as injuries, poor diet and lifestyle choices.
Clinical Qigong Therapy can restore the flow of energy back into balance (homeostasis). So just like the natural cycles, how the sun rises each morning and sets each evening, we too can be in harmony with the natural rhythm of the universe and enjoy a harmonious life full of vitality, joy and inner peace.
