Advanced Clinical Massage Therapy
Clinical massage uses a combination of advanced bodywork techniques to achieve a specific outcome. Techniques such as Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Soft Tissue Release, Deep Forearm, Hot & Cold Stones, Acupressure and Sports Stretching aim to eliminate/reduce pain and increase range of movement within 2-6 sessions. (The number of sessions may vary depending on the problem).
How does Clinical Massage differ from Sports Massage?
Many of the techniques used in clinical massage therapy are the same as those used in sports massage, but they are applied to a different type of client (namely the general public as opposed to an athlete or sports person) in a different type of way. Massage does not need to be painful to be effective; the concept of a 'good hurt' applies to clinical massage where the source of pain is addressed slowly and sensitively, working with the client who is always in control.
Clients will also benefit from having a monthly ‘maintenance’ session to keep painful conditions under control and prevent their recurrence.
Aftercare will also be discussed within the session, this may include stretches, exercises and relaxation techniques which allow you to take control and understand what triggers the problem.
For long-term medical conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, etc, a long-term plan of care is required- fortnightly or monthly sessions are beneficial.
Whilst clinical massage aims to locate the source of the problem, I also treat the whole person- thus delivering a holistic approach to your health and wellbeing.

Chakra Massage
Chakra Balancing Massage focuses on your body and mind as an energy system made up of interacting components. Each system of our body uses life energy to accomplish an interrelated purpose.
As examples, our heart and circulatory system pumps blood to and from all the organs and cells, our respiratory system helps us breath, our nervous system acts as a communication system. These "energy systems" all work together to support and enliven each other.
The deepest source of their energy is the chakra system. Our chakras are source points for life energy that each express a unique state of consciousness.
We live in a sea of interacting energy.
And we ourselves are beings of life-energy. We are Being of Light!
Chakra Balancing Massage I have created a safe, supportive environment to promote your natural healing capabilities. Using doTerra essential oils and chakra healing crystals to assist with a soothing touch and intuitive guidance, I work with you on your full body, bringing special attention to the energy chakras.
Here the work is to help release excessive, uncomfortable energy, and fill each chakra with pure, calming life energy that then naturally circulates throughout your body and beyond.
90 minutes ~ £65

Wanderlust
Wanderlust is a deep desire to travel, to wander. In this treatment we will wander to self love. In a world where we’ve been raised to put others first, self-love can often feel selfish. Setting aside time for self-love causes feelings of guilt, and we struggle to maintain a dedicated self-love practice. It’s frustrating. We know we need self-love, yet we have difficulty giving ourselves permission to experience it.
Self-love is our fuel; it’s the foundation for who we are. Everything builds on top of this foundation, and if it isn’t solid, life feels shaky. For those of us who have experienced the power of self-love, we can agree that the effects can often feel quite magical. The moment we start loving ourselves, we experience shifts—positive shifts. Life begins to move forward with more ease and things begin to magically fall into place. Relationships improve. Health improves. And life begins to feel good—really good--ridiculously good.
Loving you first and creating that deep, internal relationship has countless magical benefits.
Kristen has created a treatment focused around self love. Beginning with listening to a guided mediation focused on self love/acceptance. While your listening to the guided meditation Kristen will be working energetically on opening your heart chakra, then balancing the rest of your chakras. Essential oils specifically for your heart chakra and self love will be anointed. This will then be followed by a hot stone massage with some reflexology.
The purpose of this treatment is for you to leave feeling completely grounded, centred and in love with yourself.
