Treatments

From powerful and precise deep tissue and sports massage to restorative lymphatic drainage, pregnancy massage and gentle, nurturing treatments, and facial work that is more than skincare. Every treatment begins with listening, and is shaped around you as it goes. Where two durations are offered, the longer is not more of the same. It is the same care, given more room.

Oil poured into an open palm

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.
