What style of treatment would you like to experience?
Like most experienced massage therapists, the way I work is a hybrid of all the techniques I have learned along with the finesse that comes from practical experience and the extra special something that results from enjoying what you do rather than going through the motions. The best name I have for what I do is Embodywork - as my primary aim is to enable you to drop more fully into your own body and bring a compassionate awareness to everything you find there. To me this is much more important than any intention to fix or change. It really is a process of self-love. Most of us live so much in our heads and usually have lost connection with all that is held in the body.
This overview
gives you an idea of the possible ways I can work with you to help you feel better in your body. My favourite approach is long thorough sessions of 2 to 4 hours combining a range of techniques, some deep, others gentle, that allow you to drop deeply within, let go of the cares and worries of your life and relax both mentally and physically. I thoroughly recommend you book as long a session as you can!
A full body session takes between 90 (for the more relaxing styles) and 240 (for the more therapeutic) minutes but shorter sessions can be given focusing on a specific area such as the back or legs. I do not offer a full body session in an hour as I feel that this is too short a time to give a good thorough massage. It is one of the things that sets my massages apart from many of the standard ones that clients tell me are so often disappointing. If you think of the level of detail of a Reflexology session where an hour is spent just working on the feet this gives you an idea of how I work with the whole body - and why sessions can last such a long time.
To give you some idea of the techniques I use within my sessions and an overall guideline of the style of treatment you want there follows some information about each of the techniques I have studied. More information about each can be found by clicking on its name.
I have divided the treatments into two sections - the first has a more therapeutic focus and is aimed at people who have specific aches and pains they would like to address. The second is more inclined towards relaxation and is for you if you just want a gentle and caring experience. The line is not a clear one though and, whichever style of treatment you choose, my aim is always for you to have an enjoyable experience after which you feel a real therapeutic benefit.

Please Note
Whilst massage involves a certain level of intimacy and my intention is for you to feel nurtured and cared for, the treatments I offer are not intended to be sexual in nature.
Many of my clients are more comfortable being naked and uncovered during the session and I am perfectly comfortable with this. In many ways it allows for a more flowing massage. Many clients find this allows for a deeper level of trust and intimacy. The focus of the massage remains sensual rather than sexual and the focus remains on you receiving therapeutic touch from me rather than touching me.
The sensual nature of touch may mean that you become aroused during the treatment. This is a natural bodily response and need not be a cause for embarrassment. Your massage
will continue as normal.
Certain areas in particular such as the buttocks thighs or abdomen tend to be more sensual. As they also hold significant amounts of tension I do like to include these areas in a treatment. However, if there are certain areas you do not want to be massaged please let me know. Please note that I do not offer an intimate massage service and do not work the genital area. Although I would say that almost all of my massages end happily I do not offer what is known as a 'Happy Ending'.
If you are looking for this type of massage I wish you luck in your search.
If you are looking for tantric massage which aims to link sexuality with spirituality and create an experience which is both highly sensual and deeply meditative I recommend you explore here.
