Benefits of Massage
Health
Some of the benefits regular massage can have on your health…
- Improves the bodies immune function.
- Improves circulation, energy and alertness.
- Lowers heart rate and blood pressure.
- Helps improve sleep and stress related insomnia.
- Relieves headaches.
- Soothes anxiety and depression.
- Reduced muscle tension and increased joint mobility.
- Improved recovery of soft tissue injuries.
- Stimulates the lymphatic system.
Balance
Massage helps to improve blood circulation to the limbs and a persons sense of balance is improved, especially in older adults.
Massage can help to balance hormones and lower stress levels.
Relaxation
Massage relaxes the body by increasing the temperature of the soft tissues and releasing hormones. This helps to relieve emotions such as anxiety and stress by creating a “relaxation response”- a state in which your heart and breathing rate slow, your blood pressure goes down, levels of stress hormones decrease and your muscles relax.

Peels are beneficial for all skin types as a one off treatment, however if a specific concern is to be dealt with such as pigmentation, scarring, acne or fine lines and wrinkles, then a course of peels is highly recommended.

What Some of My Clients Say
Your Questions Answered
Everyone’s hair grows at a different rate, hair needs to be 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch long for waxing. General guidelines are: for legs and body hair, every 3-5 weeks. For face, bikini and underarm hair every 2-3 weeks, as hair grows faster on the face than other parts of the body.
There is no set rule – a general guideline is at least once per month, but as often as twice a week in severe pain situations. Try not to leave too long in between massage treatments, as the longer you leave the more often you’ll have to start the process of loosening up your muscles, as they start to tense up if you don’t have massages often enough.
How often depends on individual factors such as skin-type, skin care needs and goals and the type of facial you are receiving. The general recommendation is once a month, as this is how long your skin’s life-cycle is. After 3-4 weeks, your skin cells grow back. Facials help this process and ensure your skin is always glowing.
A little extra time before your treatment will be spent completing a consultation, to ensure your needs and requirements are met, enabling me to tailor your treatment so you will gain the most benefit from it.
The room will be a relaxing, peaceful environment, whatever treatment you are having. Little things such as a heated couch blanket, soothing music and a relaxing aroma…
