Swedish Massage

Full body or targeted areas | 30 / 60 / 90 minutes | £30 / £50 / £70

Swedish massage is a classic and versatile treatment designed to support overall wellbeing and muscular health. The session incorporates a range of therapeutic techniques — including gliding movements, kneading, rhythmic tapping, vibration, and friction — to work through the soft tissues, relieve muscular tension, ease discomfort, and promote improved circulation and flexibility.

Pressure is adapted to suit individual needs, typically ranging from light to moderate, making this treatment both deeply relaxing and restorative. Each session is tailored to your preferences and areas of focus, offering a supportive and rejuvenating experience.

 

Lomi Lomi Hawaiian Massage

Full body | 60 / 90 / 120 minutes | £60 / £80 / £100

This traditional Hawaiian massage style uses long, flowing, rhythmic movements that mirror the motion of ocean waves. Rooted in Huna philosophy, the practice is designed to harmonise the mind, body, and spirit. The therapist works with both hands and forearms, often engaging multiple areas of the body at the same time, creating a deeply meditative and soothing experience.

Lomi Lomi encourages profound relaxation and emotional release, while also helping to ease muscular tension, improve circulation, support lymphatic drainage, and restore balance throughout the body. Many people describe the treatment as nurturing, grounding, and deeply restorative.

 

Please note: Due to the continuous nature of the rhythmic movements, minimal draping is traditionally used to allow for fluid, uninterrupted flow. Your comfort and sense of safety are always prioritised, and the session can be adapted to suit your preferences where possible, though adjustments may affect the overall experience of the treatment.

 

Elements Massage

Full body or targeted areas | 90 minutes | £80

Elements Massage is a unique, blended treatment that combines Swedish massage techniques with additional healing modalities and sensory elements. Each session is intuitively centred around one of the four elements — earth, air, fire, or water — selected based on your individual needs on the day.

The chosen element is woven into the treatment through sound, scent, and guided meditation, creating a deeply immersive and restorative experience. Designed to be both therapeutic and calming, Elements Massage supports nervous system regulation, encourages balance, and promotes a profound sense of relaxation and wellbeing.

Deep Tissue Massage

Full Body | 45 / 60 minutes | £50 / £65

This treatment works into the deeper layers of connective tissue, targeting underlying muscles and fascia to release adhesions that may be contributing to pain, restriction, or ongoing discomfort. Using slower, firmer, and more focused pressure, the therapist addresses knots and trigger points commonly associated with chronic tension and postural strain.

Although this massage is more targeted and therapeutic in nature, a holistic approach is maintained throughout. Conscious breathing techniques and intentional energy work are incorporated to support deeper release, helping the body to soften, reset, and integrate the work more fully.

 Deep tissue massage is an excellent choice for those experiencing chronic muscular pain, tension, postural imbalances, or reduced mobility. It can help improve flexibility, ease stiffness, and restore a greater sense of freedom and comfort in movement
