What is therapeutic massage?

Therapeutic massage is a personalised approach to healing that combines practical knowledge of anatomy with an intuitive understanding of the body’s needs. It involves a variety of techniques tailored to each individual, whether the goal is to relieve chronic pain, improve mobility, or support overall well-being.

While therapeutic massage can be deeply relaxing, it’s much more than a moment of rest. It is a focused and intentional practice that addresses the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, helping to alleviate tension, reduce stress, and enhance circulation. By stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, therapeutic massage is both restorative and preventive - ideal for those recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, or seeking physical and emotional balance.

Massage during challenging times

When your body is dealing with symptoms such as fatigue, pain, or stress, therapeutic massage can provide much-needed relief. Massage is particularly effective in calming the nervous system, easing muscle tension, and opening up energetic pathways, which can support the body’s healing processes.

Even if you’re unsure whether massage is right for you, it can often provide surprising benefits. By gently addressing areas of tension, discomfort, or imbalance, massage helps reconnect you with your body and restore a sense of calm. For those managing sensory sensitivities, chronic illness, or other ongoing concerns, therapeutic massage offers a safe and supportive way to encourage healing.

I am trained in a variety of massage techniques and styles, allowing me to blend pressure, pace, and approaches to suit your unique needs. During each session, I carefully listen to your health concerns and to the subtle messages your body communicates.

Massage for teens

Teenagers often face unique physical and emotional challenges, from the demands of sports and academics to the effects of growth spurts and hormonal changes. Therapeutic massage can help teens manage:

Muscle tension and soreness from physical activity
Stress and anxiety
Postural issues from prolonged screen time
General relaxation and improved sleep

Sessions for teens are tailored to their specific needs, with shorter treatments available for younger clients. I create a safe and welcoming environment where teens feel comfortable sharing their concerns and preferences, ensuring each session is both effective and enjoyable.
