Ayurvedic Massage Therapy

Picture this, you've spent the entire week...

​

  • getting the kids to where they need to be

  • cleaning the house (again)

  • planning meals, shopping, cooking - on repeat

  • navigating traffic to get to your actual job

  • Trying to squeeze in a date night or even five minutes to breathe.

​

By the end of the week your running on empty but, instead of recharging, you grab a glass of wine and some chocolate and gear up for another round. Sound familiar?  Your not alone - and it's time to do something different.​  I see you! You give so much time to everyone else. Now it's time to give something back to you!

That's where my Ayurvedic Massage Therapy comes in.

What is Ayurvedic Massage?

Ayurveda is an ancient healing system that works with the rhythms of nature - using herbs, oils and lifestyle practices to bring balance to the body and mind.  

In your Ayurvedic massage session, I will tune into where you are right now,.  I use warm, herbal-infused oils and a traditional poultice to  

  • Soothe your nervous system

  • Support your immune function by reducing stress and inflammation

  • Nourish your skin

  • Gently detoxify the body

  •  And deeply ground your energy - from your nose to your toes!

You will leave feeling lighter, calmer and completely cared for - like your body's been given exactly what it needed.

What you need to know.....

  • The massage is a good 2 hours long including a full body, face and head massage.

  • You will get oily!  This may sound a little weird to some but I'm telling you your skin will thank me for it! However, please do not wear your best clothes to go home in. Just bear it in mind.  You may also wish to bring a hat for your head when you leave or a scarf.

  • You will be naked, well almost.  I am happy to provide underwear to save your clothes but feel free to wear your own if you are more comfortable - again please do not wear your best.  I will provide towels of course and ensure you are comfortable throughout.

  • Please leave a couple of hours after a heavy meal before your appointment.

  • The following scenarios will be unable to receive this treatment:  a strong headache or migraine, those that have a bad cold, those suffering from constipation, ladies on the first 3 days of their menstrual cycle.  If you are suffering with any kind of illness please make me aware beforehand so that we can discuss whether this would be of use to you.

Testimonials

I am a massage & aromatherapist by trade, but I've never had an Ayurvedic massage before. I'm always interested to experience different types of holistic treatments & I love having massages.  I found it a wonderfully enjoyable, & deeply relaxing experience.  It was particularly lovely to have a treatment which is longer than average – it really gives you a chance to get into it & relax. Sophie made sure that I was very comfortable & cosy on her couch & the feeling of the first little bit of comfortably hot oil which she trickled onto my back was a beautiful start to it all.

I'm used to essential oils & the various different types of aroma they have, but the aroma of the sesame oil that Sophie chose for me was different from any of them, quite subtle & impossible to analyse, but I liked it a lot & after the treatment the smell of it lingering on my hair & on my body for the rest of the day, while not at all strong enough to be intrusive, was strangely comforting & nurturing. I also felt far more open & loose around my shoulders, chest & neck.  That night I slept well & the next day I had a sense of overall wellbeing  - relaxed but energised & somehow as if my system had been gently cleansed, balanced & invigorated.

I think Sophie has such a gentle, warm energy which enables you to feel safe, accepted & nurtured. I am now thinking of treating one of my friends who is having a tough time at work & in her personal life,  to an Ayurvedic massage with Sophie because I think she would love it & it would be really helpful for her.
