Remedial massage is a personalised treatment that draws on techniques from sports, deep tissue, and relaxation massage. Each session is guided by a thorough consultation and may incorporate advanced methods such as neuromuscular or trigger point therapy, myofascial release, cupping, and stretching; all tailored to support your individual needs and wellbeing.

Dry needling is a targeted, minimally invasive treatment that uses fine acupuncture needles to relieve musculoskeletal pain and release tight trigger points (Ashi points). The needles can reach deeper layers of muscle than a therapist’s thumb or elbow, helping the tissue to relax and reset. This technique often produces a small “twitch response” — a good sign that the needle has hit the right spot. Discomfort is usually brief and similar to pressure applied during trigger point therapy. Needles may also be placed in related or opposing muscles to support deeper healing. Your session may include complementary Chinese techniques such as cupping or Gua Sha, where appropriate. Please note: Dry needling is offered as a stand-alone treatment and does not include hands-on massage.

Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy where suction cups are applied to the body to draw stagnant blood to the surface and gently separate muscle fibres. This technique can support circulation, fascial release, lymphatic flow, joint mobility, skin tone, and muscle recovery. Many clients find cupping surprisingly relaxing and deeply releasing — it can feel amazing as it helps melt away built-up tension. Cupping may be incorporated into your massage or dry needling treatment if appropriate. The circular marks left behind are not bruises (which result from impact), but signs of increased circulation where stagnation has been drawn toward the surface. These marks typically fade within 7 days.

A stand-alone, sublimely restorative treatment that nourishes both the musculoskeletal system and the parasympathetic nervous system. Smooth basalt stones — a volcanic rock known for its heat-retaining properties — are used in place of the therapist’s hands to melt tension and deeply warm the tissues. Some stones are gently placed on key areas of the body, while others glide across the muscles in rhythmic, flowing movements, similar to a hands-on massage. This deeply relaxing technique soothes both body and mind, easing muscle tension while calming the nervous system. A favourite during the colder months — and a true treat year-round.

Pregnancy massage is a beautiful way to support your body during this special time. Whether you need deep relaxation, relief from pain and tension, or both, treatments are tailored to your stage of pregnancy for complete comfort and safety. Gentle, soothing strokes are used while you rest supported on your side with soft body pillows. It’s pure bliss for both body and mind, you won’t be disappointed!
