I have been a massage therapist for over 10 years, and really love what I do! The aim of my massage treatments is to free you up where you're stuck, and help you achieve your goals whether that’s to reduce tension, help with an injury, support you in your training, or just to relax.

This is one of the most effective types of targeted massage to prevent & relieve all types of soft tissue injuries, pain and tension whilst allowing space to relax & soothe the nervous system.

I have trained in many different forms of Massage and advanced soft tissue techniques, from Deep Tissue and Sports & Remedial massage to Myofascial release & trigger point therapy.

Over the years I’ve combined techniques to develop a bespoke treatment that is based on individual requirements. A mixture of thorough, specific and targeted release and deeply relaxing massage techniques to leave you feeling more spacious in your body.

This is the treatment I wanted in my pregnancy! It is both targeted for any areas of tension that develop from a growing bump, whilst being relaxing & soothing; beneficial for both you and baby. Head, hand and foot massage are included for ultimate unwinding.

In Pre-natal massage positioning is adapted so that you and bump are super comfortable and supported, either lying on your side or sat up & supported by pillows.

*Recommended from 12 weeks.

POST NATAL MASSAGE - 75 mins

The aim of this treatment is to nourish, as you unwind and enjoy some time to yourself - rest is key to healing! We can work on common areas of tension from carrying & feeding, as well as aiming to help you feel more balanced and aligned after pregnancy and birth.
