Slow your nervous system down and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and less tense
Relaxation massage is ideal if you’re feeling mentally or physically tired, or simply need time to pause, breathe, and reset.
Relaxation massage is designed to support your body’s natural ability to slow down and recover. Sessions are unhurried and tailored to how you’re feeling on the day, using gentle, flowing techniques to encourage relaxation, ease built-up tension, and help you feel more settled in your body. This is time set aside for rest, not assessment.
Relaxation massage may be a good fit if you:
Feel mentally or physically tired and need time to properly switch off
Are carrying everyday stress or tension in your neck, shoulders, or back
Want a gentle, supportive massage rather than deep or targeted work
Find it hard to slow down and would benefit from a calm, unhurried session
Simply want to prioritise rest and wellbeing without needing a specific reason
Pressure and focus can always be adjusted, and you’re welcome to let your therapist know what feels most comfortable for you.
Your session will begin with a brief check-in so your therapist understands how you’re feeling on the day and any areas you’d like more or less focus on. From there, the treatment is unhurried and guided by comfort rather than intensity.
You can expect gentle, flowing massage techniques designed to help your body relax and your nervous system settle. Pressure can be adjusted at any time, and you’re always welcome to speak up if you need anything changed.
After your session, many people notice a sense of calm, lightness, or deep relaxation. It’s common to feel more settled and rested as your body continues to unwind.
There is no expectation to talk during your session, you’re welcome to rest quietly and simply enjoy the experience.
