Fertility Massage
This specialised treatment focuses on areas of stagnation and tension in a woman’s body to improve her health and wellbeing to support conception. Various massage techniques are used to identify stagnant areas (such as adhesions and scar tissue, muscular tension, digestive problems) and to rectify areas of need. The particular focus is abdominal, to relieve tension in the soft tissue areas, soften and release external scars and internal adhesions (e.g. from old abdominal surgeries such as Gall bladder or Appendix removals, whether keyhole or other), aiding digestion, elimination and tonifying the viscera (abdominal organs and surrounding tissue).
Fertility Massage may also include Lymphatic Drainage as the perfect accompaniment to improving immunity and circulation. This is recommended for women who have been struggling with their fertility for over a year or more, or would like to optimise their health and wellbeing in preparation for conception. An hour or 1.5 hours with add-ons.
De-Stress Therapy
Manual techniques applied to release the fascia, particularly in the shoulders, neck and scalp. By using advanced myofascial release techniques, targeted areas that normally hold a lot of stress and tension from physical and / or emotional stress or trauma can be released. To finish the treatment, we use a soothing herbal compress to further relax worked muscles. Suitable for someone who suffers from high stress or has poor posture. Find out more.
Invigorating Massage (remedial/sports influenced)
This treatment is designed to iron out any areas of tension or knots. Depending on your concerns, it can either be an all-over massage working from head to toe, finding and releasing tension as we go, or it can be a very targeted and focused session (e.g. lower back, shoulders and neck session, or glutes and legs session). It helps to improve flexibility and release stress and tension in the muscles. Your body will feel lighter and more flexible after the treatment. Find out more.
Gua Sha Facial Massage & Foot Reflexology
Gua Sha (scraping technique) and light cupping are used to gently work the facial and neck muscles. To smooth and lift the face, leaving your skin feeling invigorated, radiant and smooth. Lymphatic techniques help to drain fluid and congestion build-up. Foot Reflexology targets your hardworking feet and lower legs to increase blood flow to your lower body and is the perfect finish to your treatment. Facial cupping may also be used to deepen the efficacy of this treatment. The face is an important area to work on to relieve congestion, detoxify the body systems, and stimulate the circulation via the meridians (energy channels) and increased blood flow. In addition, a head massage and stretches can be included that will stimulate the scalp and relieve tension areas at the occipital line (back edge of skull) and temporal lobes (above ears). This is a deeply relaxing treatment. Find out more.
