Therapeutic, relaxation, pregnancy massage or energising systemic care to soothe aching muscles, boost circulation and immune system function and encourage healthy sleep patterns. Mums-to-be float fully cradled on the latest specially designed Belloost or Body Support pregnancy cushions for comfort and safety – delicious throughout pregnancy!
Sometimes a massage needs no agenda. A treatment to relax and unwind, with gentle, expert techniques to improve blood circulation and lymphatic flow. The result is a sense of calm invigoration and lightness. Pre- and post-natal massage is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal recovery. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation, heavy legs and general body tone, boosting circulation to help “decompress” the heart and relieve mental and physical fatigue, encouraging best quality sleep afterwards.
Remedial, sports or deep-tissue treatments facilitate muscular release, fibrosis reduction and improved connective tissue elasticity, flexibility and posture and can optimise sports performance and recovery. Firm, carefully applied pressure to target aches, pains and tricky/ troubling muscle spasms and adhesions. Expect more rigorous, active work, using forearms, elbows and knuckles to access and strip into deeper layers of muscle and fascia to address fibrosis, release tension and holding patterns, resulting in improved posture and wellbeing. For specific therapeutic care for active bodies. A sports massage treatment is targeted towards injury prevention and injury recovery for enhanced athletic performance and more focused treatment on very specific body areas (limbs/joints/injury sites).
“Susie: Incredible ... at making remedial treatments feel luxurious and deeply relaxing. ... her past-life as a midwife’s assistant means she’s the expectant mum’s dream masseuse”

Foot, facial, cranial and hand reflexology
Lavish those feet and lift the soul with Reflexology. Traditional reflexology treats the "whole person" offering deep relaxation, tension release, better sleep, improved mood and overall a sense of wellbeing at home or in the workplace. Reflexology gently balances your body, encouraging its natural healing abilities and restoring equilibrium. By calming your nervous system and reducing tension, reflexology promotes deeper, more restful sleep. Soothing your mind and body, reflexology is an excellent way to manage everyday stresses. Regular reflexology treatments leave you feeling more grounded, energized, and connected to your body.
Usually practised on the feet or face (and in some cases the hands) specific “reflex” points are gently worked and the treatment incorporates a soothing massage to finish. Reflexology is very helpful to support people living with illness and there is a large amount of scientific data and research to show how people can benefit in managing and building resilience to stress and anxiety in the workplace. Susie has a wealth of experience caring for men and women - including women during pregnancy and childbirth.
Reflexology treatments are designed to provide calming support for individuals facing busy minds, heightened stress, or challenges with focus. The intention is to promote profound relaxation, balance and overall well-being to ignite your body’s innate healing power.

Modern Gua Sha
Gua Sha, meaning “scrape” and “redness,” is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique where tools are rubbed over the skin to increase circulation. While the traditional method raises temporary marks, Modern Facial Gua Sha is a gentle adaptation that produces a healthy glow without bruising.
Using facial oil and smooth tools, practitioners lightly glide over the skin to release tension, improve lymphatic drainage, and boost microcirculation. This helps sculpt the face, smooth lines, reduce puffiness and relieve issues like sinus congestion, headaches, bruxism or jaw tension. By increasing blood and lymph flow, Gua Sha delivers oxygen and nutrients while clearing waste products, detoxifying the skin from within for cellular regeneration. The results include clearer, firmer, radiant skin and can complement other natural facelift techniques. Studies show Gua Sha has anti-inflammatory effects and can relieve pain, migraines and muscle tension by stimulating circulation and
activating natural pain-relief pathways in the brain.
