Signature Relaxation
Long, continuous strokes at a steady pace, over the whole body, at a pressure set by you and changed whenever you ask. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is left out.
- Who it suits
- Anyone who wants to be looked after for an hour or more without having to think. A natural first treatment.
- What to expect
- A warm, quiet room and an unbroken hour or ninety minutes. Conversation is welcome and never expected. You set the depth of the work, and you may change your mind at any point.
- Duration
- 60 or 90 minutes.
Deep Tissue
Slower, firmer work into the deeper layers of muscle, where tension settles and stays. Firm does not mean painful: pressure is built gradually and checked with you throughout.
- Who it suits
- Those who train hard, sit long, or carry stress in the same places year after year. Anyone who has found lighter work pleasant but not quite enough.
- What to expect
- Time given to the areas agreed beforehand, rather than a little to everything. You may feel thoroughly worked on. You should never need to brace.
- Duration
- 60 or 90 minutes. Sixty is best given to two or three areas; ninety allows the whole body.
Pregnancy Massage
Gentle, well-supported massage for a body that is changing by the week. Position, pressure and pace are adjusted to how you feel on the day, and checked often.
- Who it suits
- Expectant mothers. Please say how far along you are when you enquire, so the treatment can be planned for you.
- What to expect
- Extra cushioning and a position that stays comfortable throughout. Lighter, slower work, with regular pauses to ask how you are. Nothing is done that you have not agreed to.
- Duration
- 60 minutes.
Back, Neck & Shoulders
Concentrated work on the three areas that carry the most, from desk and screen to the weight of the day. Shorter than a full treatment, and no less considered.
- Who it suits
- Anyone short of time, or with one place that needs attention more than the rest. A good treatment to make a habit of.
- What to expect
- Focused work on the upper back, neck and shoulders, with the longest time given to wherever you point. Forty-five minutes concentrates on what is tightest; sixty allows the whole area to be worked properly.
- Duration
- 45 or 60 minutes.
Sports Massage
Powerful and precise work for a body that trains, competes or simply asks a lot of itself. Firm where it needs to be, and always checked with you.
- Who it suits
- Those who train, run, cycle or lift, before an event or in recovery from one, and anyone whose work leaves the body tight in the same places.
- What to expect
- A short conversation about what you have been doing and what is coming, then focused work on the areas that need it most, with the pressure built gradually and agreed as it goes.
- Duration
- By arrangement, agreed when you enquire.
Lymphatic Drainage
Restorative, light and rhythmic work that follows the body’s own channels, to encourage circulation and help the body clear and settle.
- Who it suits
- Anyone feeling heavy, swollen or depleted; those recovering from illness, travel or an intense period; and anyone who wants gentle, nurturing care rather than pressure.
- What to expect
- Very light pressure and slow, repeated movements. It is quiet, unhurried work, and most people rest deeply during it.
- Duration
- By arrangement, agreed when you enquire.
Facial Treatments
More than skincare. Deep cleansing, then sculpting and lifting massage that works with the natural structure of the face: to enhance its definition, encourage circulation, and leave the skin refreshed, radiant and cared for.
- Who it suits
- Anyone whose skin looks tired or dull, who wants definition without anything invasive, or who simply wants the face to be given the same care as the body.
- What to expect
- High-quality professional products chosen for the needs of your skin on the day, combined with the therapeutic experience of touch. Effective skincare and a treatment in one.
- Duration
- By arrangement, agreed when you enquire.
Which treatment is right for me?
If you are unsure, say so. Describe how you feel and what you would like to be different when you leave, and Amra will suggest where to begin. Treatments are adjusted on the day in any case: a Signature Relaxation can go deeper in one place; a Deep Tissue can soften towards the end. Your choice is a starting point. The treatment is shaped from there.
