Deep Tissue Massage or Therapeutic Bodywork
is an in-depth treatment designed to address particular issues. Sessions are tailored to your specific needs with a thorough consultation and body reading. This approach includes specific soft tissue techniques and work with fascia - a connective tissue which runs through the whole body. Feedback is extremely important in this type of work and you will remain active throughout. It is extremely effective in releasing long held tensions and improving posture and body awareness.
This technique generally brings great improvement in those with more serious dysfunction, whether due to injury or chronic structural or postural issues.
A series of sessions is necessary to change a long-standing problem, and would definitely be advisable. The benefits can, however, be felt after even a single session. Sessions last 90 to 240 minutes. These techniques can be combined with more soothing massage to create a deeply therapeutic and also highly relaxing treatment.
Thai Yoga Massage is performed on a futon mat on the
floor through the clothing. A combination of deep acupressure massage and stretching reduces tension, boosts energy flow and enhances flexibility. Your muscles will be kneaded and stretched, your joints mobilised and your energy flow restored. Whilst Thai therapists are traditionally very firm, I tend to work to your comfort levels and always welcome your feedback. The effect tends to be very deep, even if the pressure is not as the treatment is working on an energetic system similar to that of acupuncture.
This is a wonderful treatment for releasing long held tensions and restrictions allowing the body to move with greater ease. It is also great for learning to relinquish control of the body and relax totally. Perfect for any control freaks out there. It is also great for allowing the mind to switch off and drift, being a deeply meditative treatment. It can even produce an altered state of consciousness! Sessions last 90 to 180 minutes.
Relaxation Focus
Holistic Massage
is a soothing technique carried out on a massage couch. Oil is used
and some clothing will need to be removed. A variety of different
massage strokes are used to help tense and aching muscles to relax and
release. The effect is thoroughly relaxing and pampering, allowing you
to drift off to a different world. The pressure can be varied according
to your preference, whether you want a firm treatment or a more gentle
one. A full body session takes between 120 and 240 minutes but shorter
sessions can be given focusing on a specific area such as the back or
legs.
Lomi Lomi Massage is a hawaiian style of
massage focussed on creating a state of bliss and deep connection. The strokes are long and flowing, often covering the full length of the body. The wave-like motion of the session, carried out using forearms as well as hands, helps you to drift off and you can almost imagine yourself on a seashore lapped by crystal clear waters. This is the most sensual of the massages I offer but at the same time has a deeply spiritual sense of connection between you, me and the entire universe. Whilst this treatment is best carried out with you naked and uncovered it is possible to use either a small covering over intimate areas, or full draping if you prefer. Sessions last from 90 to 150 minutes. A four hand option is also available - see below for details.
Indian Head Massage is used traditionally in India to relax and revitalise as well as maintaining a youthful comple xion and lustrous hair. The massage focuses on the upper shoulders, neck, head and face and includes a wide variety of techniques and a range of pressures to release tensions and calm mind and body. A final balancing of the upper chakras (energy centres) will tend to leave you in a state of total bliss. Don’t plan to do much after you try this one! Sessions last 45 minutes or can be combined with other techniques for a longer treat.Four Hands Massage is perhaps the ultimate treat for the senses and the next best thing to a trip to the tropical islands of Hawaii! Working in tandem with my partner, Jag Reeves our four hands LomiLomi massage is a sensory delight. Long flowing strokes lap your body like the warm tropical waves. The gentle soothing touch and pure loving intention ensure your mind and your muscles melt leaving you free to float away to a place of bliss. Spending one or two hours in this place of beauty washes away all your cares and worries and leaves you deeply relaxed and thoroughly refreshed.
The extra sensation of two therapists working on you together ensures that your mind cannot remain focused on the sensations you are experiencing and has no choice but to switch and allow you to drift away.
