Massage & Aromatherapy
Your invitation to
unwind
In a world that moves fast and asks a lot of you, massage offers a rare invitation to slow down.
It’s more than a treatment - it’s a deeply relaxing, nurturing experience that allows your body and mind to soften, release, and reset. Through caring touch and intentional presence, massage helps ease tension, calm the nervous system, and restore a sense of balance and wellbeing.
Taking time for yourself isn’t a luxury; it’s an essential act of self-care. Making space for massage is a gentle way to reconnect with your body, replenish your energy, and support your overall health. Give yourself permission to pause, breathe, and be cared for - you deserve moments of deep rest and renewal.

The origins of massage
Massage is probably the oldest healing art known to humankind with all major ancient civilisations across the world developing their own unique systems of therapeutic touch. Its history begins over five thousand years ago with references recorded in Chinese texts around 3000BC and in the Indian books of the Ayurveda written around 1800BC.
The are many interpretations of massage that have developed over the centuries with each style having numerous physiological and psychological benefits. From Indian head massage 4000 years ago to the 19th Century and Swedish massage, healing touch relieves the stresses and strains of our modern day lives. But you don't feel you need to be unwell to enjoy the benefits, as even the fittest folk are relaxed and energised by a full body massage.
For aficionados, it’s an essential element of their self-care routine. It also creates a sense of comfort, connection and being cared for, boosting your mood and well-being.
Swedish Massage
Swedish physician Per Henrik Ling, developed a system of integrated manual therapy in the early 1800s based on anatomy and physiology that became what we now recognise as Swedish Massage. There are five types of strokes that make up the technique which is perfect for unknotting your whole body – effleurage, petrissage, friction, kneading and tapotement.
The pressure is adjusted according to the client’s preference with softer strokes used on the bonier and more delicate parts of the body and stronger squeezing techniques are used where there is thicker muscle coverage. This adjustment of pressure makes it an ideal massage for releasing muscular knots and for general relaxation.
Swedish Massage
Benefits include a reduction in chronic muscular aches and tension, improved mobility and flexibility, improved blood circulation and lymphatic drainage and all-round wellness. The treatment is administered using a one hundred per cent natural massage wax consisting of beeswax and vegetable oils.

Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy combines the healing touch of massage with the use of aromatic plant essences known as essential oils. These highly fragrant oils have many therapeutic properties and can be used to treat a number of complaints from anxiety and sleep issues to chronic muscular pain. Despite its ancient origins, the term ‘aromatherapy’ was first coined in 1928 by French chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse. Monsieur Gattefosse began researching the healing properties of essential oils after discovering that lavender oil rapidly healed a severe burn to his hand that he sustained in a laboratory explosion.
Essential oils – chemically complex aromatic plant extracts – can be used in numerous ways but by far the most beneficial and enjoyable is an aromatherapy massage. Following an initial consultation, a fragrant blend of essential oils is chosen according to your individual requirements and blended in a plant-based carrier oil. This is applied by using Swedish massage techniques to the whole body.
Aromatherapy massage
During a treatment, you benefit by inhaling the molecules of essential oil which effect the Limbic system of our brain, and they are also absorbed through your skin where they exert a variety of therapeutic effects. Benefits include reduced anxiety, stress and depression, boosting energy levels, speeding up the healing process, eliminating headaches, boosting cognitive performance, inducing sleep, strengthening the immune system, reducing pain, improved digestion and increasing circulation.

Indian head massage
Indian head massage uses ancient massage techniques for treating the scalp, face, neck, shoulders and upper arms. It is performed seated or lying down and can be administered with or without oils. Its practice has been part of the Indian ancient healing system of Ayurveda (the science of life) for thousands of years and although now available at spas and clinics worldwide it is still part of the daily routine for millions of modern-day Indians.
Indian head massage
While the treatment focuses just on the upper part of the body its effects are felt throughout the mind and body. It helps to prevent migraines, headaches and neck and shoulder pains, promotes hair growth, and detoxifies the body by stimulating lymphatic drainage.
