Welcome to
Something different
This is *not* your traditional deep tissue massage.
While most massages focus on strokes and tissue manipulation, this massage has been designed to focus on increasing your sense of safety and soothing your nervous system.
Informed by a consent framework and reduced activity, it will give your body time and space to relearn that touch can be safe, nurturing and guided by you.
Imagine
Your needs at the centre
The first time you attend, we’ll spend a good while communicating: fine-tuning what you want and don’t. We’ll practice expressing a change in needs, so you know that your changing self is valid and welcomed in this space.
Once we have a better understanding of each other, you may be ready to let go of the talking and allow yourself to feel more for a while. My focus at this stage is on co-regulation as a way to sooth your nervous system, and this translates in what I call ‘minimal massage’ – less movements, slower movements, more connected pauses…
Time to think
Is this for you?
It is for you if you are looking to prioritise nervous system regulation, and feeling safer in your body while in connection with other people.
It won’t feel like a traditional massage. But do you want to hear something funny? The less we do, the more we learn to slow down – the more we are able to feel! Your senses, your capacity for enjoyment have been waiting for slow and quiet to wake up and expand…

“Our brains are wired for connection, but trauma rewires them for protection. That’s why healthy relationships are difficult for wounded people”
