Massage
My massage style draws greatly on myofacial release – which is a slow, firm massage style and some deep tissue techniques. I also incorporate my knowledge of anatomy and movement to guide the strokes I use and the way I use them.
I do not subscribe to the theory that massage only works when it causes pain. At times an injury or muscle tension will cause some pain but in my view massage should never create unbearable pain or make existing pain worse. In my experience the most effective massage happens when the client is able to relax and let the massage work with the muscles to let go of tension and remember how they are supposed to function.

Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage uses gentle rhythmic strokes to help relax muscles, improve blood flow, release toxins and calm the nervous system. If you are feeling stressed/busy or just want to treat yourself to some ‘me’ time then relaxation massage is a great way give yourself some time to unwind. Relaxation massage is great for both your physical and mental health.
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage tends to focus on a particular area of the body that is causing you pain or discomfort. This may be caused by work, sport, or an injury (old or new). Therapeutic massage uses deeper techniques, firmer pressure and may involve the therapist moving limbs to assist in stretching and softening muscles. I do not believe in the ‘no pain, no gain’ approach to massage. Massage can work deeply without creating pain which in my experience can cause the client to tense up, which is counter productive. If you have an injury I am happy to work alongside other health professionals to get the best results for you.
Children’s Massage
As a mother of twoI know that sometimes they need a massage too! My children love being massaged and I find their tired and sore muscles respond much quicker than adults. Massage can be great if your child is involved in a lot of sport and are finding their muscles are tight or joints are niggling. It is also great for those with busy minds as it helps them to relax and unwind. When I work with children their parent stays in the room with us to make sure they feel comfortable at all times. Feel free to call me to discuss your child before booking a session.
