The no pummel sports massage
Have you been for a sports massage and come out with tears in your eyes or felt (or even had), bruises afterwards? I certainly have, and although this has historically been considered a *proper* old school sports massage it really isn’t necessary to get beating up during a treatment to get positive results! I trained as a sports massage therapist and have had sports massages myself but hated feeling like I’d gone 10 rounds in a boxing ring after having a ‘traditional’ sports massage. After working for a few years as a sports massage therapist and often being asked to go in ‘harder’ by clients who either wanted or expected pain or discomfort I started to research more around pain science and how our body reacts to and interprets pain. After coming to the conclusion that going in ‘hard’ was unnecessary and often counterintuitive I adapted my style and I now give a much more gentle type of sports massage with the same results as the ‘no pain no gain’ sports massage, with my focus on improving your movement, stability and flexibility with minimal discomfort. If you are aged 50+, have pain or niggles, struggle to move or just need to feel relaxed and refreshed rather than uncomfortable and bruised after your massage then I can help.

Relaxing and soothing face massage
Many of us lead hectic lives, leaving us feeling stressed and anxious, which can then reflect as tension in the face. The surrounding muscles in the neck and shoulders can also start to feel tight and uncomfortable, causing discomfort and pain, which may then lead to headaches and chronic muscular dysfunction. The relaxing and soothing face massage can help soothe tension in these areas, leaving you feeling both energised and relaxed and ready to face the world! This 45 minute session is not to be confused with a traditional beauty facial massage which is done for skincare and exfoliation – the relaxing and soothing face massage is more of a ‘deep tissue’ massage which uses acupressure on specific areas of the face which has been used for thousands of years and is thought to help with issues such as congestion, stress, headaches, fevers and chills, muscle manipulation (deep tissue), and cold stone therapy. Luxury Organic Weleda products are used throughout your session to cleanse, massage and hydrate your face.
