Holistic & Pregnancy Massage
Massage can ease the nervous system, support recovery and help you feel more at home in your body.
-
This soothing postnatal massage is designed for mothers who want to care for their body while staying close to their baby. Your little one can rest beside you on the table or be held in your arms as you breastfeed, creating a calm and nurturing experience for both of you.
We tailor each session to your needs, working in different positions to ensure your comfort while responding to your baby’s cues. With a flexible, baby-led approach, you can fully relax, knowing that this time is as much for you as it is for them.
A beautiful way to support your recovery while sharing a peaceful moment with your baby.
-
Holistic Massage helps to bring about a state of balance in the body. To create a space for deep relaxation, where you can let go and slow down for a moment. This can have a direct positive effect on your general wellbeing. The focus will be to provide a treatment that is in tune with your specific needs at that time. These may include deep tissue work for general muscular tension, or to boost immunity and blood circulation.
60 or 90 min treatments available. -
Pregnancy Massage is a gentle, hands-on treatment specifically adapted for mothers-to-be from 12 weeks onwards. Each session is personalised, drawing on experience in aromatherapy and massage to help ease discomfort, reduce swelling, and support overall well-being. Hand made oils are used to nourish your skin, relieve back tension, and soothe stretch marks. You’ll also receive guidance on how to care for your body during and after pregnancy. Please feel free to ask for any support you need.
Reflexology
Reflexology works by applying gentle pressure to specific points on the feet, which correspond to different areas of the body. It encourages deep relaxation, releases tension, and supports the body's natural ability to rebalance. Many people find it helps with sleep, anxiety, hormonal changes, and general stress. It's a particularly good fit alongside physiotherapy - addressing how you feel as well as how you move.
We also offer a 90-minute reflexology and massage combo for those who want a longer,
more restorative session.
Sports Massage
Sports massage works by targeting specific muscles and soft tissue to ease tension, improve mobility and support recovery.
It draws on techniques including deep tissue work, trigger point therapy and fascial release, adapted to what your body needs at that time. It's useful whether you're dealing with a specific complaint, managing the demands of training, or simply carrying tension from everyday life. A good fit alongside physiotherapy or as a standalone treatment to keep you moving well.
Bowen Therapy
Bowen Therapy uses gentle, precise movements over muscle and connective tissue, with short pauses in between to give your body time to respond. It is light touch, you stay fully clothed, and it suits most people.
Stella has been practising Bowen since 2016 and trained with the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia. Her approach is trauma informed and tailored to you, with each session designed to help the nervous system settle.
Useful for back, neck and shoulder pain, sciatica, headaches, and general tension or overwhelm.
