Sports/Deep Tissue Massage
An excellent treatment to relieve painful and strained muscles and joints. Sports massage combines a variety of deep tissue massage techniques and stretches to alleviate pain and discomfort in the body. This helps to increase blood circulation to the site of strain or injury, eliminates waste products such as lactic acid around the muscles and increases the range of movement in the joints.

Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Therapy is the ultimate relaxation treatment incorporating heated Canarian volcanic stones which are used with warm sweet almond oil to release tight muscles and joints. The treatment also has a very calming effect on tired and anxious minds. Hot Stone Therapy helps to heal many stress related illnesses and gives a boost to weakened immune systems, leaving you feeling both energized and deeply relaxed.

Couples’ Massage Workshops
This is the ideal way for you and a partner or friend to learn how to give a really effective massage with expert guidance. During the 2-hour session you will learn many beneficial techniques that alleviate muscle strain and tension in the back, neck and shoulder areas. The workshop is specifically designed to focus on areas where you and your partner hold tension. Notes are provided so that you can practice at home and all materials are provided on the day. The sessions are fun, informative and relaxing and you get to receive lots of wonderful massage as part of the workshop.

Indian Head Massage
An ancient Indian treatment that uses a wide variety of relaxing techniques and stretches to release tension in the head, neck and shoulders. It is very effective for anyone suffering from stress, migraines, insomnia and neck and shoulder pain.
The pressure can be deep and releasing or soothing and relaxing or a combination of both, it’s entirely up to you.

Holistic Massage
Holistic massage is designed to meet your individual needs. You may have been under a lot of stress and want a deeply relaxing session or may be experiencing pain in a specific area that needs extra attention such as the shoulders or lower back. Many people like a mixture of deep tissue and relaxing massage so that areas that hold tension are worked on deeply to release tension but also soothed with relaxing pressure after the deeper work has been done.

Reflexology
Reflexology is a deeply relaxing treatment that stimulates pressure points on the feet that connect to the whole of the body. The treatment is the perfect way to relieve stress and anxiety. Many clients who suffer from an overactive mind and find it hard to switch off are able to completely relax during the treatment. Reflexology can help with many health issues including anxiety, insomnia, IBS, back pain, muscular tension, migraines, circulatory problems and overdue pregnancies.

Thai Yoga Massage
Thai Yoga Massage is a deeply relaxing treatment which is given over clothes on a futon. A client once described it as “someone doing yoga for you whilst you relax.” The treatment not only combines many wonderful stretches but also deep tissue massage to free up tight muscles and relax the whole body. The pressure can be very deep but can equally be soothing and gentle, it’s entirely up to you. The treatment is particularly beneficial for shoulder problems as it releases the joint from all angles and is the perfect way to stretch the whole body and calm the mind.
