A Massage from me is never a waste of your time...and no body is the same

I first trained in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage in India so I combine this with Swedish deep tissue and basically all I have learned from 10 years of massage and my own favorite elements from Thai and other techniques.   Having spent way too long on coaches around south America by the time I got to India my right hip was agony every time to stood up , for about 12 steps.  I went into massage training thinking, well at least I will receive a lot of massages even if I also have to give them.  What happened on our first morning scared the hell out of the class but cured me.   The teacher, having listened to my hip woes, told me to lie on my side and she pushed her elbow into my glutes so hard I screamed.  The class thought they had entered a torture camp but by the time I was walking along the beach that night (always difficult) I knew she released what ever had been causing my pain.   

​

In addition to training I have just always had the touch.  My mum said it since I was a little girl, and no amount of training can give you that, I listen with my hands.  So what you receive will depend on your body and what it needs.  No two massages are the same because no two people are the same!

 

I encourage deep breathing to aid the release of muscle tension which leaves you completely relax in your own home.  Also it's important to drink plenty of water in the hours following.

Massage Treatment 

Not only does a deep tissue massage induce the body's natural pain relieving endorphins to give the body an analgesic effect but it relaxes and de-stresses us in general.  Tension and stress are recognized causes of health problems and it's very important that you give your body the time and treatment to relax and your mind time to unwind. 

​

Our skin is the body's largest organ and through it we access our muscles, tendons and ligaments.  Firm long deep stokes massage is the only way to unjam this tension and its much more pleasant than a foam roller ;) 

​

Our skin is also porous - An Only Massages comes with complementary aroma therapy oils or the ancient ayurveda medicine Calamus powder; a strong antioxidant which sinks through to the blood stream while also acting as a very soft exfoliate for your skin.

Afterwards simply relax and enjoy the lingering aroma of your bespoke oils which continue to work within your system for hours after.
