Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage is a gentle, flowing style of massage designed to calm the nervous system, ease muscle tension, and promote a deep sense of relaxation and wellbeing.
Unlike remedial or deep tissue massage, it focuses on reducing stress rather than targeting specific areas of pain or dysfunction. Relaxation massage is ideal for anyone seeking time to switch off, reduce anxiety, or simply care for their body and mind in a peaceful, restorative way.
What To Expect?
During a relaxation massage, you’ll be made comfortable on a massage table in a peaceful setting designed to help you unwind. Your therapist will use long, smooth, and flowing strokes with light to moderate pressure to release tension and calm the nervous system.
The focus of the treatment is to promote deep relaxation rather than targeting specific areas of pain or dysfunction. You may notice your breathing slow, your muscles soften, and your mind begin to settle as the session progresses.
Many people leave feeling calm, refreshed, and re-energised, with an overall sense of wellbeing that can support better sleep, reduced stress, and improved mood.

A Hot Stone Massage combines traditional massage techniques with the gentle warmth of smooth, heated stones. The heat helps to ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote deep relaxation. It’s the perfect treatment to unwind, soothe sore muscles, and restore balance to the body and mind.
Cold Stone Fascial
A Cold Stone Facial Massage uses chilled stones to gently massage the face and neck, helping to reduce puffiness, calm inflammation, and refresh the skin. It’s a soothing treatment that promotes relaxation while leaving your complexion cool, toned, and revitalised.
Indian Scalp Massage
An Indian Scalp Massage focuses on the head, neck, and shoulders using gentle, rhythmic techniques to release tension and improve circulation. This deeply relaxing treatment helps relieve headaches, reduce stress, and promote mental clarity and overall wellbeing.
