Therapeutic Massage Therapy
I specialise in a blend of bodywork that includes fascia release, soft and deep tissue massage, and energetic support within a caring and supportive environment. This allows for a customised experience based on your specific needs, with options ranging from gentle to deep pressure.
My approach is intuitive, with a deep focus on listening to the body's tissues. Therapeutic massage techniques are adjusted to your preferred outcome and pressure, with attention focused on the areas that need extra work.
I believe that massage is an art form. I carefully assess your body's needs, sensing, listening to, and feeling the tissues for pain, inflammation, and resistance. I then apply the correct strokes and stretching techniques to release areas of blockages and tension in the muscles, allowing the tissues to move more freely and promoting the best healing methods.
Therapeutic massage offers many benefits, including improved blood circulation, relief for tight muscles and tired joints, reduction of fatigue, alleviation of pain, release of endorphins for pain relief, stress reduction, and improved posture and range of motion.
From a gentle relaxation treatment to addressing issues like frozen shoulder, headaches, neck, shoulder, and back pain, you are in capable hands.
Depending on your needs, the massage can be relaxing, uplifting, or invigorating. Along with lifestyle and aftercare advice, the holistic approach to massage is a great way to help keep you in control of your own health.

Therapeutic Massage
"Gemma is grounded and stable as a therapist - I so appreciate that my hour with her is for me, and I have no need to listen to or take care of her and any issues that she may be experiencing. This, I believe, is the hallmark of an excellent therapist. She is a clear channel for healing and care through the touch that she offers. She has an ability to feel instinctively as well as through touch, what I need and to meet that need. She can be gentle when necessary or offer deeper pressure and tackle stuck muscular patterns if that is needed. I leave feeling cared for, lighter, safer, and calmer".
