Massage Treatments
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is one of the most popular types of massage. Using light to medium pressure, it involves many different techniques to achieve deep relaxation. We use oil in this massage to avoid friction on the skin. It can help to relax tight muscles and soft tissue, as well as promoting good blood circulation. Clients feel it’s great for their overall health, improving mental health as well as physical issues that they get everyday such as pains, muscle, tightness and headaches.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is especially good at targeting the deeper layers of the muscle and connective tissue providing relief from strains and tension that could be caused by injury and long term bad posture. It’s a much deeper pressure than Swedish massage, using more pressure points to help relax the muscles and disperse knots. Clients say it’s offered pain relief and a sense of calm.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
This is an extremely gentle treatment with no oil and no pressure applied. It works to help lymph flow through the sluggish lymphatic system. Great to relieve inflammation due to Lymphedema, fatigue, bloating, skin conditions, headaches, sinus infections and other conditions that are affected by lymph drainage. It is a relaxing treatment that aids in stress management, reducing fluid retention, immune support and general health care.
Indian Head Massage
Indian head massage has been practiced for thousands of years with the belief that the mind and body are one, and so work together in harmony. This massage uses pressure points along the shoulders, neck and scalp, along with massage strokes to help with headaches and stiffness along these areas. I like to do this treatment while you are seated, and I also incorporate some of the techniques I use for a regular head massage during facials, and that I offer along with full body massages.
Thai Massage
Thai massage is a unique form of body therapy, helping to increase flexibility, releasing tension and helping the flow of the body’s natural energy. This technique uses stretching and rhythmic compression along the energy “Sen” lines and will resemble yoga rather than “massage”. It’s performed on a mat on the floor and there is no oil used. You will remain fully clothed (apart from the feet) and it’s best to wear loose clothes. You’ll feel relaxed and energised at the same time!
Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage
The back, neck and shoulder massage uses Swedish Massage techniques, with light and medium pressure on the body. Working to relax tight muscles and soft tissue, as well as promoting good blood circulation, it’s ideal for relieving those back pains from sitting at a computers.

“I am not a fan of massages but have a recurring shoulder problem. I went to Hattie for a deep tissue back, shoulder and back massage. She is so friendly and welcoming and her treatment room is spacious and airy. I soon forgot that I didn’t like massage and felt relieved for the first time in ages.
She put me at ease immediately and the treatment has really helped. Would thoroughly recommend and I’ve re-booked, no more the massage sceptic!”

“I have been receiving treatment from Hattie for quite a while now. I do quite a physical role and have had back, neck and shoulder massages monthly to help me. I have also had a scalp massage which I was unsure about, but the sceptic in me was banished. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hattie’s massage therapy.
I would definitely give her a try even if you feel a little sceptical. I have re-booked already and can’t wait for the next one.”

“The best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had! Hattie is gifted, and a natural at massage therapy. My treatments never feel rushed, and as I am a biker, I have quite a few aches and pains, and Hattie is always gentle where she needs to be! Deep tissue has been the best massage for me to really loosen up some of my tight muscles.. from sitting down to work for long periods of time.. and not taking my screen breaks! I’m so pleased I found her, and recommend her 100% I can’t wait for my next massage.”
