Deep Tissue Massage
Massage and Me Deep Tissue Massages focus on using slower movements to release tension and adhesions from deeper layers of muscle tissue. I use my knuckles, elbows and other techniques to unlock deep-rooted tension in the muscles. Deep Tissue Massages are particularly effective for clients experiencing chronic pain or undertaking a lot of physical activity.
These treatments are also a relaxing experience, as the more relaxed you and your body feel, the more tension we can release from your strained and tired muscles. I prefer to work with my clients so that the pressure is just right for you - I encourage openness so that you can get the best out of your treatment.

Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy can be a time of intense physical and emotional change for our bodies, some joyful and some a struggle!
Prenatal massages with Massage and Me provide a relaxing space for you to focus on you and your baby, as well as helping to ease the aches and pains that often accompany pregnancy.
Prenatal massages also help to release oxytocin and prolactin as well as improving circulation, especially to areas where fluid retention can occur.
I work with my clients to ensure the massage focuses on your problem areas, ensuring you and your baby feel supported and comfortable throughout. I have plenty of pillows, safe oils to use in pregnancy, water and biscuits as well as regular toilet breaks if you need them! Please note these appointments can only start from 14 weeks of pregnancy onwards.

Swedish Massage
Swedish Massages are typically seen to focus more on relaxation, but can also be a powerful stress-release. They are the perfect choice for clients who are looking for some time to ‘switch off’ while giving their tired muscles some recovery time.
While these massages are typically very relaxing, the pressure can still be firm. Again I work with my clients to ensure the pressure used creates the right balance of relaxation and stress-release that they need.
Relaxing Massage:
Hopefully all of my treatments are relaxing, however these are perfect for anyone who really needs to switch off and relax. This is a ‘top to toe’ treatment, so extra time is spent on the feet and head/face to provide ultimate relaxation. These treatments are 75 minutes and 90 minutes only.

New Treatments: Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage treatments focus on relieving tension from muscles in our shoulders, neck, scalp and face.
I aim to create the same mix of; energy flow, rebalance, peace and tension-release as with traditional Indian Head Massage practices.
Clients are seated to allow for access to all parts of the head, neck, face and shoulders.
This treatment can be highly beneficial as a tension-release for all, but with particular mention to clients who may suffer with neck tension, tension headaches, stress and insomnia.
Pressure can be adjusted depending on the client’s needs and preferences.
Treatment options are: stand-alone appointment of 30 minutes at £35 , or as an ‘add-on’ appointment of 15 minutes at £15.

Reflexology
Reflexology is a non-invasive holistic therapy which aims to deeply relax and ease congestion in the body through treating reflex points in the feet. Reflexology works on the premise that our feet are ‘mini maps’ for the body, and that through easing congestion in reflex points on our feet, this encourages our body to balance and heal itself.
Pregnancy and Post-Natal Reflexology Treatments are also available to support local mamas on their path into parenthood. These deeply relaxing treatments also aim to focus on aches, pains and ailments that you may be living with through your pregnancy.
