NEWS FLASH - Rest and relaxation are essential human needs.

This life which demands that you’re always on the go, with so little time for yourself and for restful recovery? It’s showing up as stress and pain in your body.

Your body requires the ability to relax, and space to recalibrate for optimum recovery and renewal. That’s why it is exists as a human experience! In it’s absence the wheels start to fall off.

For healing to take place our whole system must know the conditions are right to put energy and resources to the task.

Tuning into the feedback from your body, supportive touch, movement whilst using gentle breathing and working with a skilled, attuned practitioner helps to engage the part of your system that knows it’s okay to slow down and relax. From this place health and vitality begin to restore.

Come home to yourself.

  • Attuned touch.

    The deep tissue massage techniques used in yoga massage are coupled with therapeutic nervous system attunement. This allows touch to permeate into the levels deeper than mechanics of muscle. This visceral safety rewires the stories held in your soma, allowing your nervous system to unwind and begin to take a new, more wholesome shape.

    On a practical level deep tissue massage techniques means I’ll use a firm pressure suited to what feels good to you. I strive to melt tension without being ‘pokey’ by opting for grounding and relaxing with just as much success.

  • Stretch.

    Gently incorporating stretches and assisted Asanas (Yoga poses) to the massage helps to lengthen the muscles, allows the joints to regain their natural mobility and helps energy to flow more freely. You don’t need any experience of yoga or flexibility for this bit either - it’s all about how it feels, and I’ll doing the movements for you.

  • Breath.

    In Yoga Massage we use simple breathing techniques to become more attuned to ourself and the guide the body and mind to relax

    Not only can the breath can tell you so much about what’s going on in in your body/mind, it is also one of the most powerful tool you have to help you change your state and inform how you feel. AND, how perfect that it’s a tool you carry everywhere you go!

  • Coaching.

    Your mind is a powerful tool, yet it makes a poor master. Mentoring your body-mind connection allows you to make an ally of your mind, so that it supports your life instead of overrunning it.

    We help you develop the tools, skills and resources so you can use the mind as intended and stay connected to your body in the here and now, anchored in yourself, and empowered to lead yourself.

  • Presence.

    Every treatment as part of your wellbeing check-in we explore a simple somatic practice. This helps you to connect to your body, dropping you out of your mind and into the moment so you can fully experience yourself and your treatment. As with all aspects of Yoga Massage this too is completely beginner friendly and is actually a really good place to learn and to practice if you’ve heard good things about mindfulness but haven’t’ been sure where to start.

“After my experience with Beth this afternoon I sent a message to a friend which read “ I just had a celestial yoga massage and I’m floating”…. Which I think sums up my experience. 
Beth is so kind, open, inquisitive and supportive to an experience which was brand new to me but I honestly feel she’s opened a door which I look forward to exploring further.
The connection between my body, brain and breath; how empowering it is to be vulnerable and open and allow your body to be guided through powerful and gentle stretches - which seem to simultaneously provide energy, relaxation and release.”
