Swedish massage is the most commonly offered & best-known type of massage.

If it’s your first time receiving massage, Swedish massage is the perfect place to start. Designed to improve your circulation, soothe your muscles & make you more relaxed.

Swedish massage involves deep pressure applied to meet an individual’s specific needs & preferences & a variety of intensive massage techniques such as kneading, tapping & stroking.

This massage uses slow movement, deep pressure, & friction to realign muscles & connective tissues.

The therapist focuses on areas of pain & tension using fingers, h&s, elbows & works to "break up" the tension, or "knots," in muscles, providing greater freedom of movement.

The muscle tissue is stretched & separated, providing for better circulation of blood.

Due to the huge changes that occur in the body during pregnancy,(for example the added weight of the baby) pressure is increased on the lower back and neck areas.

Therefore, during pregnancy, massage has a lot of benefits such as helping to relieve lower back and neck pain, reducing water retention, soothing swollen ankles and also helps to improve circulation which reduces the risk of varicose veins.The mother will be supported with pillows as she lies on her side.

The premise behind hot stone massage therapy is that the direct heat of the stones relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist access to their deeper muscle layers.

Combining hot stone protocols with a full body massage provides a very healing & effective experience.

Benefits of Hot Stone:

• Provides relief from pain associated with fibromyalgia, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome & other chronic conditions
• Decreases pain & muscle spasms
• Reduces chronic stress & tension
• Increases flexibility in joints, aiding in easier mobility and movement

Rejuvenate your skin with this amazing treatment designed for targeting ageing and problem skin, scarring and pigmentation, open pores, blemishes and dull & tired skin.

The Skinbase™ Microdermabrasion Facial is a safe, controlled treatment that intensely exfoliates and resurfaces the skin.

It’s the leading skincare treatment in the UK & Ireland for complete skin rejuvenation. A fine jet of abrasive crystals gently removes dead skin cells layer by layer and a vacuum action lifts away the debris, stimulating the blood flow and encouraging collagen and elastin formation that results in firmer, revitalised and youthful looking skin.

Fine lines disappear, acne scarring is reduced and dull and tired skin is completely banished – sometimes after just one treatment.

Effects are usually seen after the first treatment, with ongoing improvements seen week after week during a course.

Microdermabrasion facials can be had as just a one off treatment to revive dull skin, however we advise purchasing a course of treatments to get maximum results. Usually, this will consist of 6 to 8 treatments, 7 to 10 days apart.

Skin problems such as acne or acne scarring, or deeper forehead wrinkles may require slightly more sessions to achieve full improvements.

After a course is completed, a single monthly treatment will maintain your skin’s improvements. A patch test is required before this treatment

Cupping is a therapy used in traditional Chinese medicine to remove stagnation & stimulate the flow of qi (chi).

Qi is the free flow of vital energy circulating through the body & the world around us, if the qi is disrupted or disturbed, it can create stagnation (blockages) or imbalances in the body.

Cupping has numerous benefits — it can help remove toxins from the body & stimulate the flow of fresh blood, lymph, & Qi to the affected area & throughout the body.

It often works wonders for patients with the flu, colds, coughs, back & muscle pain, poor circulation, anxiety, red itchy skin conditions , allergies, fevers, aches & myriad other pains

Magnets are known to have positive effects on the body since they can induce the movement of electric currents through the body. These currents aid in the blood circulation in the body and since blood carries oxygen-rich nutrients to different parts of the body, magnets can assist in the healing of many ailments. Magnets when combined with the healing effects of cupping therapy have shown to do wonders for clients’ health

The therapist begins by applying soothing oils or creams on the client’s skin. The mechanism used for magnetic cupping is similar to vacuum cupping and mechanical pumps are used to create suction. Except in this case, a small cylindrical magnet is also fitted to the bottom of the cup. When a vacuum is created inside the inverted cup, the skin rises and comes in contact with the magnet. Since the magnet is set to target specific points on the client’s body, it is also a form of acupressure. In this way, magnetic cupping provides the benefits of both cupping therapy and acupressure.

As per the needs of the client, the therapist might place more than one or two cups on the skin simultaneously. The cups can be left on the skin for about 15 minutes at a time. To release the cups, the therapist relaxes the suction by again using the air pump. clients might notice a little redness and circular marks on the skin after a magnetic cupping session. But these marks typically disappear in a few days’ time.
