I was feeling really drained and achy before my full body massage, and left feeling so relaxed and calm. The atmosphere was lovely and I felt well looked after.

This is a regular Spa for me, Laura was great. Facial was done quickly and efficiently. Hot stone massage was one of the best I’d had, excellent! Really helped my stress retaining shoulders and knots. The spa is being extended into upstairs, so I was in a new treatment room, it’s larger than the ones downstairs which was a great idea. I’ve said it before I like this place as it’s local and it uses dermologica.

Types of Massage Offered Here:
Relaxing Massage
A relaxing massage helps eliminate accumulated muscle tension and relieves stress.
- First, during an initial consultation, your therapist does a postural analysis and asks about any muscles that require special attention.
- Then your therapist leaves the room to allow you to undress with complete privacy.
- Once you are ready, your therapist begins by warming your muscles with light compressions.
- Then the therapist incorporates long, flowing strokes and checks to make sure the pressure level is adequate.
- After the massage, your therapist discusses a self-care plan and recommends follow-up treatments, if necessary.
Sometimes a soft, soothing massage is all you need to manage a high-stress job or a moment of exceptional tension.
Deep Tissue Stress Relieving Massage
During a deep tissue massage, a firmer pressure is used and more specific attention is paid to muscle knots or trigger points.
- First, during an initial consultation, your therapist does a postural analysis and asks about any muscles that require special attention.
- Then your therapist leaves the room to allow you to undress to your comfort level.
- Once you are ready, your therapist begins by warming your muscles with light compressions.
- Then the therapist uses a combination of long gliding strokes, kneading, friction and vibration and regularly checks to ensure that the pressure is firm enough.
- As trigger points are located, direct pressure is applied to release the knots.
- After the massage, your therapist discusses a self-care plan and recommends follow-up treatments, if necessary.
If you have specific muscles or trigger points that need individual attention, a deep tissue massage can help ease tension, increase the range of motion, and relieve chronic pain.
Swedish Massage

The aromatherapy massage combines soothing Swedish massage techniques with essential oil aromatherapy.
