See Treatments page. The massages start from:

• 30 minutes – for specific areas such as back, neck, shoulders, legs, indian head
• 45 minutes – general maintenance, quite nice to have for specific areas then relaxation time at the end.

Most people go for full back:

• 60 minutes – most people go for a one hour massage as it can help to relax, destress and balance you by doing a full back and front treatment. Sometimes the therapist will concentrate on full back from the head to the feet, so just let your therapist know what your preference is.
• 90 minutes or 2 hours – for total body detox, pampering, relaxation treat and sleep!

Just wear comfortable clothing, something you don’t mind putting back on after a relaxing time, so nothing too constricted. Also if you are doing treatments such as Body Stretch, then wear leggings or tracksuit for stretch and manipulation.

If you bruise easily or have sensitive skin, please let the therapist know in advance. They may use deep tissue and/or manipulation which should increase your circulation, so it can show up in your skin, where blood is getting to those areas.

Waxing
Please do not use the sauna or have a hot shower or use a sun bed before or after waxing.

Deep Tissue or NSRT
Clients find it useful to soak in a warm bath after a treatment ideally with some Epsom Salts to ease the work done to the muscles and give the muscles a chance to rest & relax.

Please see Contact page for all opening and closing times.
