Scar Massage

Scar massage helps to reduce the appearance of scars. It can reduce the size, flatten, improve the colour and texture of scars. It is a very effective treatment with immediate results but also non-invasive and low intensity as this isn’t required to get excellent results.

It can be used on a wide range of scars for improvements in mobility, tissue function and overall appearance as well and helping to reduce other common side effects of scars. As well as helping with the visual appearance of scarring, the massage can also reduce numbness, hypersensitivity, pins and needles, pains, discomfort, and discolouration/hardening of surrounding tissue.

Abdominal Massage

Abdominal massage is a very effective way of easing digestive and gynaecological issues and symptoms. The massage helps reduce inflammation, improve adhesions, relieve pressure, clear blockages, ease bloating and improve circulation. It also helps improve the positioning of the womb and colon. It is a very beneficial treatment for liver, colon, intestines, stomach, gall bladder, lungs, pancreas, kidneys, womb, and ovaries.

During a session you will also be given nutritional advice to support your healing as well as a number of self-help techniques you can do at home, including self-help massage which you’ll be taught in the session. All these techniques are tailored to your individual symptoms and requirements.

Fertility Massage

Fertility massage improves circulation to the womb and ovaries. It relieves pressure and improves positioning. It also works on the digestive system to improve nutrient absorption.
It has helped many issues associated with fertility problems such as adhesions, endometriosis, thin womb lining, PCOS, cysts, fibroids, problematic periods and low egg quality. The massage is excellent for IVF preparation and helping with natural conception.

Self-help massage tuition and nutritional advice is also provided in sessions. Massage and self-help techniques allow you to connect with your womb and nourish your body which is so important on a fertility journey.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a therapeutic massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in immunity and waste elimination. By using gentle, rhythmic movements that follow the natural flow of lymph, this specialized treatment helps clear blockages, reduce swelling, and promote detoxification. It can be particularly beneficial for a range of health concerns, from immune system challenges to skin conditions.

Tailored advice on nutrition and self-help techniques that can further improve these issues is included in the session.

Swedish Full Body Massage

A very relaxing massage to help relieve tension and stress. This massage can be tailored to your needs with whatever pressure you’re most comfortable with and focus on any particularly tense, problem areas to give you the best results. The massage is soothing and relaxing, helping to relieve tense areas and improve sleep.
