Services Offered

• Remedial Massage: This style of massage holistically looks at the entire body, with its focus being the treatment of pain / discomfort, structural dysfunctions and helping in injury rehabilitation. The pressure in remedial massage can be at times deeper than in relaxation massage, but we always work within tolerable boundaries for the client.
• Emmett Technique: Is known as a 'Neuromuscular' release. This is light finger pressure on specific points on the body, to release a targeted muscle group. This muscle release therapy is perfect for those who experience muscle discomfort or pain caused by many aspects of everyday life. Whether your pain is caused by poor posture, repetitive strain injury or personal training.
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage: Is a type of manual manipulation of the skin, not to be confused with massage, based on the hypothesis that it will encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart.
• Pregnancy Massage: this is a specialised massage for the expectant Mum. We do not have a time restraint on when the pregnancy massage can’t be done as our treatments are gentle and safe for both Mum and Bub. We specialise in releasing the deep hip muscles to relieve discomfort but also assist the baby to engage more effectively in preparation for delivery or caesarian.
• Hot Stone Massage: This is a decadent specialised massage that incorporates the use of Hot Stones in with your massage. The benefits of this treatment is the heat from the stones increases the blood flow and heats up the muscles making it easier for your Therapist to release the knots and tension built up in your body. A truely decadent treatment.
