Rejuvenate Your Mind and Body with Massage Therapy

Discover the Ancient Practice of Massage for Stress Relief, Pain Management, and Total Relaxation

Massage has been used for thousands of years as a restorative and healing practice. Receiving a massage can help reduce stress and tension, provide pain relief, reduce headaches, insomnia and anxiety. It can also provide a client with a feeling of clarity and is an opportunity to disconnect from a busy, stressful lifestyle.

I have a flowing Swedish style of massage and use of a variety of strokes and techniques to ease tension in muscles, enabling better circulation throughout the body. Releasing areas of tension provides overall body relaxation and restores well-being. I aim to achieve satisfactory pressure for each client.

I provide a safe, therapeutic space with clean towels and linen for each client. It is a non-judgmental zone where clients can be completely at ease and be themselves. Often receiving a healing massage can bring emotional issues to the surface and these may be discussed or not depending on a client’s wishes. Most of my massage sessions include a short insight reading for the client.

For several years I worked with refugees who have experienced torture and extreme trauma and have volunteered in a third-world hospital, so am experienced in holding therapeutic space for clients without being affected myself. I can also work with clients who require interpreters. All my clients are treated with respect, empathy and compassion and sometimes we laugh together too.

Massage is suitable for most people and over the last ten years, I’ve worked with clients as young as seven and as old as 90. There are some contraindications so if you have a medical condition and are unsure whether to receive a massage or not, please check with me prior to booking. Professional standards are maintained at all times.

Oncology Massage

Oncology massage safely addresses the needs of a cancer patient by paying close attention to the physical, emotional and psychological needs of a client during diagnosis, treatment, recovery, survivorship or palliative care.

Research has shown that very light massage can be restorative and beneficial for cancer patients. Sessions are tailored for individual clients depending on their level of fatigue, ability to lie in a particular position or move, sensitivity to light or temperature and other factors. 

My training included learning about different types of cancer, different treatments and considerations around those treatments and I am able to work around PIC lines, ports, catheters and other medical equipment.

Using a very light touch and safe sequences of strokes, clients with cancer experience a feeling of restoration for their body, mind and spirit. This modality is also suitable for fragile patients with other serious illnesses.

Clients who are able to come to my clinic are encouraged to do so, but for those who are unable to (if they are in the hospital or in palliative care at home) I am able to make a hospital or home visit (this incurs a travel charge). Please note that there is usually a longer consultation time and shorter hands-on massage time for Oncology Massage. This is due to my need to understand fully about a client’s condition, treatment and personal experience as well as consideration of a client’s fragility and inability to cope with a full massage session.
