Massage by Kerry IPHM

60/90 minute Full Body Holistic Massage £50/£75

This truly is a full body massage, not just a minute or two on each limb or concentrating mostly on the back.  Plus, it is a full 60 minutes, not the standard 50 minutes that has become the norm.  The techniques I employ are based on traditional classic massage movements, incorporating Swedish massage methods, to deliver the best possible luxurious treatment.  You will feel wonderful as your whole body relaxes, the muscles are stimulated and released of tension, and the troubles of the world drift away.

30/60/90 minute Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage £25/£50/£75

Lymph is a mixture of proteins, water, waste products and immune system elements, that carries the toxins out of and away from your internal organs.  It is your secondary circulatory system after your blood, yet it has nothing pumping it around (unlike blood, which has the heart to do that).  You need to manually get the lymph flowing - this can be done with movement and exercise, or by manually draining it.  This is a very powerful treatment and is perfect for those who are preparing for an operation, are post-op and need to heal, have fluid retention, have skin problems (including acne, eczema, scar tissue and stubborn stretchmarks), need their immune system boosting, need to detox, need to relax, have conditions that reduce their mobility and those who need an upturn in their wellbeing and their energy levels revitalising.  It is excellent for people who suffer with arthritis, fibromyalgia and lymphedema, as well as many other health conditions and the need for general healing, as it is physically a gentle, non-invasive treatment that rapidly assists lymph circulation.  The client is fully clothed and will be advised on a course of 1-3 sessions (or more, depending on the type of issues the client is being treated for). It's also ideal for those who are too ticklish for a traditional oil massage too!

30/60/90 minute Oncology Massage £25/£50/£75

This massage is very similar to the MLD massage explained above, but is specifically for those suffering with cancer.  The benefits of this treatment can include reduction of anxiety, pain, nausea and depression, while increasing dopamine levels.  This is a safe, complimentary to medical treatment massage that is tailored to the individual's needs, depending on which, if any, of the lymph nodes have been removed.  The client will need to obtain permission from their doctor/oncologist before treatment commences. 

30 minute Indian Head Massage £25

This massage incorporates the shoulders, arms, neck and upper back as well as the face and scalp.  A deeply relaxing, indulgent experience that is also invigorating, giving you a fresh sense of wellbeing and relaxation.

60/90 minute Full Body Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage £50/£75

This is a similar treatment to the full body holistic massage, but is a much stronger massage that goes deeper into the tissue with firm movements and a flow of natural energy.  The Lomi Lomi (loving hands) technique was traditionally used by the Hawaiians, and is carried out using the heel of the hands, forearms and elbows to release tensions and strains, helping the client to let go of bad patterns of muscle behaviour and learn new ways to relax tense muscles.  The treatment can be adjusted from firm to gentle, depending on preference and how the body reacts during the session.

60 minute Zone Therapy Facial Massage £50

This treatment is reflexology, but for the face!  An indulgent facial massage (including scalp massage) that not only rejuvenates your skin and increases healthy blood flow, but eases tensions from the whole body, just as a foot reflexology treatment would do.  Reflexology was first used in India, Egypt and China over 5000 years ago, and in the late 19th century, the facial technique was developed in the UK and USA using the same methods but transferring the practice to the face and neck.  Some of the benefits of this massage include stimulating and strengthening lymph flow and the immune system, aiding the recovery of backache and painful joints, easing menstrual symptoms, migraine, mental tensions, IBS symptoms and gut issues, and of course, giving you a healthy glow.

45 minute Head, Neck and Shoulders Massage £40

This massage is specifically to treat your aching neck and shoulders to some relief from tension, knots and tight spots, with a pampering head massage too!  We can target your most painful areas for extra attention, including your back if required, leaving you feeling relaxed and more comfortable.

If you would prefer to tailor a massage to your own specific preferences, we can work on a routine that suits you and your needs.

Why not add on an extra 10 minutes just on the hands and feet, or the scalp, at the end of your massage (£8)?

I am also qualified as a mental health first aider.  Looking after your mental health is as important as looking after your physical health.  Getting massages is so very helpful to both, and compliment each other wonderfully.  I am more than happy to discuss this further if you wish, and hope that I can help you to boost your body and brain health.
