Massage
Before your massage session, our Massage Therapist will take the time to review your health history with you. However, if you have any existing medical conditions, we strongly recommended that you consult with your doctor or healthcare provider before booking your appointment. This ensures that massage therapy is safe and appropriate for your individual health needs. Your safety and well-being are our top priority.
We offer a range of Massage services including:
Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage Therapy is a clinical, results-focused treatment designed to assess, treat, and manage muscle pain, tension, and dysfunction. Whether you're recovering from an injury, experiencing chronic discomfort, or dealing with postural issues, remedial massage works to identify the root cause and support the body’s natural healing process.
Using a combination of techniques—including deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and stretching—our therapist customizes each session to your specific condition and goals.

Relaxation Massage
Unwind. Rebalance. Reconnect.
Relaxation massage is a soothing, full-body treatment designed to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and leave you feeling refreshed and re-energised. Through smooth, flowing strokes with gentle to moderate pressure, this massage focuses on easing general muscular and fascial tension — rather than treating specific injuries — making it ideal for those looking to relax and reset.
Whether you're juggling a busy lifestyle, feeling mentally drained, or just need some dedicated time to care for yourself, relaxation massage offers a moment of stillness in your day.
This treatment is suitable for all ages and is the perfect complement to a wellness or self-care routine.
Key Benefits
✔ Reduces stress and anxiety
✔ Promotes deep relaxation and emotional balance
✔ Eases muscular tension and stiffness
✔ Improves circulation and sleep quality
✔ Supports overall physical and mental well-being
Myofascial Release
Restore movement. Relieve chronic tension. Reconnect with your body.
Myofascial Release is a specialised, hands-on treatment technique that targets the fascia — the connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles, bones, and organs. When this tissue becomes tight or restricted due to injury, stress, or inflammation, it can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and postural imbalances.
Using slow, sustained pressure and gentle stretching, our therapist works to release these fascial restrictions, encouraging your body to return to a more natural, pain-free state. Unlike traditional massage, Myofascial Release focuses on treating the root of discomfort, not just the symptoms.
Each session is uniquely tailored to your body’s needs, promoting deep healing, improved flexibility, and lasting relief.
Ideal for those experiencing
✔ Chronic muscle tension or tightness
✔ Limited range of motion
✔ Headaches or migraines
✔ Fibromyalgia
✔ Postural issues
✔ Scar tissue restrictions
Trigger Point Therapy
Target pain at its source. Release tension. Restore movement.
Trigger Point Therapy is a focused massage technique that targets specific areas of built up tightness and tension within muscle tissue — these are commonly known as ‘knots’ or ‘trigger points’. These points can refer pain to other parts of the body, often causing discomfort far from the actual source.
Using firm, controlled pressure and precise techniques, our therapist works to deactivate these trigger points, reduce muscle tension, and relieve pain. This therapy not only helps alleviate localized discomfort but also improves circulation, flexibility, and overall function.
Each session is customised to identify and address your body’s unique patterns of tension, helping you move and feel better—naturally.
Helpful For
✔ Chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain
✔ Tension headaches and migraines
✔ Repetitive strain injuries
✔ Sciatica
✔ Sports or overuse injuries
Pregnancy Massage Therapy
Nurturing care for you and your growing baby.
Pregnancy Massage is a gentle, soothing therapy designed specifically for the unique needs of expectant mothers. As your body changes through each trimester, this specialized massage supports your physical and emotional well-being, helping to relieve the common discomforts of pregnancy in a safe and supportive environment.
Our trained therapist uses positioning and techniques that prioritise your comfort and safety, offering relief from:
✔ Lower back and hip pain
✔ Sciatic nerve discomfort
✔ Swelling in the legs and feet
✔ Neck and shoulder tension

Myofascial Cupping Therapy
Lift, release, and restore with targeted fascial decompression.
Myofascial Cupping Therapy is a modern adaptation of traditional cupping that focuses on releasing restrictions in the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and joints. By using specially designed cups to create gentle suction on the skin, this therapy lifts and separates tissue layers, helping to increase blood flow, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
Unlike traditional massage that compresses the tissue, cupping works by decompressing it, making it especially effective for:
✔ Chronic muscle tension
✔ Fascial adhesions and restrictions
✔ Poor circulation
✔ Sports injuries and recovery
✔ Postural imbalances
This technique can leave temporary marks as a natural result of increased blood flow to the area, but the therapeutic benefits are long-lasting. Each session is customized to meet your body’s specific needs, promoting deep relief and improved function.
Please see the Myofascial Cupping section on our website for more information on this.
