Deep tissue massage goes below the surface. Using slow, deliberate strokes and deep finger pressure, I work through the top layers of muscle to reach the deeper tissues where chronic tension, adhesions, and knots accumulate. It's particularly effective for desk workers carrying shoulder and neck tension, people with recurring back pain, and anyone whose body has learned to hold stress in a specific pattern.

Aromatherapy massage combines the physical benefits of Swedish massage with the proven therapeutic effects of essential oils. I select the blend based on what you need — calming lavender and chamomile for stress and sleep issues; invigorating citrus and peppermint for fatigue; deep-heating eucalyptus and rosemary for muscle tension. The oils are diluted in a carrier and absorbed through both the skin and inhalation, working on the body and nervous system simultaneously.

Therapeutic massage takes a clinical approach to soft tissue work. I begin with a brief assessment — range of motion, postural observation, palpation — to identify what's actually happening in the body, then design the session around addressing it. This might involve myofascial release for restricted fascia, neuromuscular techniques for trigger points, joint mobilisation, or deep tissue work depending on what's indicated. It's particularly suited for persistent conditions that general massage hasn't resolved.

A full body massage is exactly what it sounds like: a thorough, comprehensive treatment that works through every major muscle group from the scalp to the feet. It's the ultimate reset — ideal before a holiday, after a particularly stressful period, or simply as a regular maintenance treatment to keep your body in good condition. The approach combines Swedish, deep tissue, and stretching techniques, adapted to what each area of your body needs on the day.
