Relaxing, therapeutic and remedial massage treatments, provided from Kate's home therapy room in Chalford.
​
​
​
Welcome to my home-based therapy room, located in Chalford, near Stroud.
This cosy treatment space is available when mobile massage for your home is unsuitable. Appointments here are for pre-approved/existing clients due to the nature of it being within my personal home environment. Appointments are are limited to Fridays unless agreed otherwise.
​
Expect a warm welcome, electric table warmer (to keep you cosy during those colder days), delicious smells of essential oils and of course layers of thick, fluffy towels!
​
Please note
​
The treatment room is accessed through the house and up one flight of stairs. I do also have a cat for those with allergies, although he is not allowed in the treatment space and is locked out of the house during business hours so that we're not disturbed.

Hot Stone Massage Fusion
Our hot stone massage fusion is a delicious combination of relaxing traditional massage combined with warming basalt stones.
​
The naturally shaped volcanic stones glide across the body, transferring heat deep into the muscle tissue, encouraging more rapid muscular relaxation.
​
The smooth quality of the stones delivers a seamless application, that offers relief from tight, sore and aching muscles. Heat is also an excellent application for arthritis or aching joints. The stones can be used in a variety of ways to achieve a more focal pressure to help release trigger points (knots) or particularly tight areas.
​
Best suited pressure: Gentle - medium
Cupping Massage Fusion
Cupping is a technique originally derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine.
​
In a typical session the cupping is integrated into your massage where indicated, sometimes applied dynamically (where the cups use a small amount of suction and are moved around the skin creating a massaging effect) or statically (this is where the cups are left to settle for a few minutes).
Physical change occurs when the suction created draws blood supply to area . This nourishes the muscle cell fibres with oxygen rich nutrients, helping to revitalise the tissue and carry away waste materials. This means it can be useful for reducing inflammation and aiding in the lymphatic system.
​
Suction created by the cups lifts layers of skin, fascia and muscle helping to "unstick" areas that have become restricted. This makes it a great tool to use pre-treatment before receiving massage.
​
Best suited pressure: Gentle, medium or firm

Postnatal Massage
You body has just been through the most miraculous journey and now is a time for healing. Often, there's so much focus on the new born baby that it's easy to forget the importance of looking after your own body. Typically, new parents experience neck and shoulder stiffness through holding, feeding and most likely a little bit stressed and sleep deprived!
Massage has also been shown to be beneficial if experiencing symptoms of postnatal depression, due to the release of endorphins (feel good hormones), which are proven to enhance the immune system, relieve pain and reduce stress.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage is an incredibly gentle, therapeutic massage treatment. It's a methodical process designed to specifically target the lymphatic system, helping to eliminate waste, toxins and fluid retention from the body. MLD is slow and considered, utilising light pressure to manoeuvre lymph along to clusters of lymph nodes and ducts where the bodies' able to process it. You therapist may use sweeping, brushing, energetic engagement and passive joint mobilisations as part of your treatment.
MLD can be particularly useful for:
-
post-surgery (cosmetic or medical) to help improve the speed of recovery.
-
pregnant women, suffering from swollen wrists and ankles.
-
autoimmune diseases or compromised immune systems
-
removal of lymph nodes
-
weight loss or detox
-
aid in sports injury recovery
